Description

Welcome to the Theology of the Buddy Podcast, Episode 7!Today’s candid conversations include discussion on the very real experience of the so-called man cold, and Dr. Matt shares the science behind it. I’ll be a special guest today, and will share some helpful hints on caring for your man, when he is in throes of man sickness agony. I also take the opportunity to throw Chris under the bus! It’s great! We will also discuss the current book scandal at Franciscan University of Steubenville, hashing out the issue of academic freedom and what that means in a Catholic context, and answer some great listener questions.
Authentic Catholic education is a big deal. How should one be properly educated? What is true Academic Freedom and what is so bad about reading a bad book? We hope this podcast helps to clarify that. Thank you also to our listeners for their great questions.  We really want to know your thoughts on the topics discussed during today’s podcast, as well as your questions and topics you’d like us to explore in the future.

Copied from Rail City Oratory, Chris’ Official Blog:Franciscan University, which I lovingly (and still do) refer to as my Alma Mater, although I only studied there for Freshmen Year in 2005, has been rife with scandals in the last couple of years. Among the first was the supposed "Pro-Choice Feminist" on the faculty, spreading confusion and scandal on Twitter. Then, stories of failures to properly handle sexual misconduct on campus, the revelation of the sexual misconduct of the late Fr. Sam Tiesi, TOR, a key-player in the reform of the former top party school, and close confidante of the late Fr. Michael Scanlan, TOR. Now, with another strike to the gut, comes the confusion surrounding Dr. Stephen Lewis' upper class reading assignment of "The Kingdom", written by French atheist Emmanul Carrère. The assignment was reported by Church Militant, at which point it exploded in a wave of comments and blog posts responding to it. I am still well connected to friends who studied and completed their degrees at Franciscan University. The response from those students has been incredibly in favor of Dr. Lewis' actions, much to my surprise. The Traditional Catholic side of the internet lost their absolute heads over it. Parents have decided against even visiting the school for college visits and people are stopping their donations. There are also those like blogger Bill Kassel who took a more moderate/passive, "who knows the right thing" approach. A listener of the podcast I am now running with some friends called "Theology of the Buddy" (you should really check it out, it's fun!), reached out to me
