Just where does McBrien get off?

Arch-dissentor Fr. Richard McBrien has published an article - surprise, surprise - in the National Catholic Reporter in which - surprise, surprise - he claims that "one-issue bishops violate their own teaching".

Carl Olson patiently points out that this is a straw man argument. And that's just a start.

The Cardinal Newman Society, meanwhile, takes a bit more umbrage at McBrien:

“Father McBrien’s blatant disregard and contempt for the leadership of the Catholic Church is nothing new,” said Patrick J. Reilly, President of The Cardinal Newman Society. “Until Notre Dame and other Catholic colleges are rid of such jaded liberal theologians, the renewal of Catholic higher education can never be complete.”

Boy, they're really coming out of the woodwork these days.
