Saw this blurb earlier today:

2005 Call to Action national conference: The plenary address will be given by Fr. Richard McBrien and will be an assessment of the pontificate of Benedict XVI.

:whistle: :whistle: :whistle:
 
I am reminded of Calvin Coolege’s response when his wife asked him what did the minister preach about.

He relplied “Sin”.

Well what did he say?

He was agin it.

I just have to say that the guy is a disgrace (as in dis-graced). This is from the CTA web page of featured conference speakers. You would never know from his picture and the accompanying write-up that Richard McBrien is even a Catholic priest. What’s up with this?

**The Pontificate of Benedict XVI: A Preliminary Assessment

******Richard McBrien reflects on the first six months of Pope Benedict XVI’s pontificate in the light of challenges that continue to confront the Church. McBrien is Crowley-O’Brien Professor of Theology at the University of Notre Dame and former chairman of its theology department. He is a past president of the Catholic Theological Society of America and received its 1976 John Courtney Murray Award. A priest of the Hartford archdiocese, he is a frequent network television commentator, currently a consultant to ABC News for the election and pontificate of Benedict XVI. McBrien also writes a syndicated theology column for the Catholic press. He has authored 20 books, including the acclaimed Catholicism, a 1980 synthesis of Catholic theology, revised and updated in 1994. Among his other books are Caesar’s Coin: Religion and Politics in America (1987); Lives of the Popes (1997); and Lives of the Saints (2001). He is also general editor of the HarperCollins Encyclopedia of Catholicism (1995).
