Pray tell how much I should tolerate you?

After completing the most  recent BadCatholic blogpost I began, per usual, to peruse the comments. Some new internetly anonymous had commented, but also those usual ones who tend to comment on all Mr. Barnes articles. 


A conversation ensued in which a certain commentee decided for his own personal use of ad hominum attack, to mock Franciscan, referring to it as "Stupidville". 


One of the regulars, who goes by "Alexandra" replied, 
                    "I know! I was talking to my husband about this yesterday and we both agreed. Resumes from universities like Franciscan will always go off of my desk and straight into the shredder." 


Wow...that tolerance for you. To add icing to her tolerant cake she later qualified, 

"I'd prefer to work with people who went to college in the real world."

It would appear that those who so vehement-ally wish everyone be open to everyone's way of living and "tolerance" is not actually tolerant. 

When people consider someone coming from an Ivy League school, its because they know they will be qualified because they went to an academically prestigious school, not because its liberal, or conservative. When people consider someone coming from a conservative school like Franciscan University they should probably, as concerns the hiring process, look to the actual academics of the school, not the person's beliefs. 

Really what Alexandra here is stating is that she wants to be around only like minded people, who agree with her on most every point. 

On a brave University's response to HHS mandate...

Its old news by now, but many are beginning to forget the gravity of the situation concerning the HHS mandate.

To prepare for this, true Catholic organizations are gearing up and making changes. 

Recently Franciscan University announced its new policy, the only response allowed by conscience, and furthermore, it will not allow the secular forces of all that is Kathleen Sibelius(strong proponate of aforementioned mandate, and self proclaimed Catholic) to permeate its staunchly Catholic saturated campus.
