College of the Holy Cross theology firestorm has core values at stake

MGB: Liew's piece seems like more of a parody of queer theory than a real attempt at it. Before anyone is "allowed to resign" the professor should get a chance to explain what is hopefully a strawman. If he is serious, then it could be his trying to be "all things to all men" in the example of St. Paul. If that is the case, he probably took it a bit too far, as he has offended more than attracted. Finally, his making a metophor of the spear is incorrect, as the wound was post-mortem, therefore necrophilia rather than sodomy, making the entire analogy fall apart.
