Contra Tim Busch | National Catholic Reporter

Contra Tim Busch | National Catholic Reporter by MSW. MGB: The quandry of Tim Busch is interesting, but not to Tim Busch - who writes triumphantly on how is particular brand of ideology - where establishment campitalism and the free market really don't need to be distinguished and who exist in the warm cocoon of Catholic morality.  Sounds to me like he prefers that kind of morality that most of us on the Christian Left would call authoritarian - which is what Capitalism is as well.  Of course, because the Dean is likely an organization man (remember the term), he would not dream of turning back the money at this late stage.  I would only hope that some scholar at CUA (one with tenure and certainly not George Weigel - who buys into Busch's ideology hook, line and sinker and probably angeled the grant) does say something about the need for more collectivism, more unionism and eventually more employee ownership that eases the plutocratic capitalists out of control.  Sadly, I see no one who will do that at CUA, not even MSW. While it would be lovely if Pope Francis looked into and denounced this all - I suspect he has bigger fish to fry than a could of plutocrats funding what is self-described as the premier Catholic University in America (Georgetown may argue - both academcially and athletically with good effect).
