Some of us may remember the distant days of the 70’s when St. John’s University, Queens, was an alleged beacon of orthodoxy, what with its refusal to submit to government money, the Catholic academic establishment and its own faculty. And then there was Fr. John Hardon and the “Institute for Advanced Studies in Catholic Doctrine.”
Alas, all was not well even then. And the subsequent fall from grace has been precipitous. We can only encourage the solid professors and students – some known to us- who are maintaining Catholicism in what seems to be an increasingly indifferent – not to say challenging – environment.
