...enormity of the scandal has provoked American Roman Catholics as nothing has before to call for debate on controversial doctrines--like celibacy, married priests, women priests. The Rev. Richard McBrien, a religion professor at the University of Notre Dame, thinks these issues lie at the root of the pedophile problem. The Boston archdiocese's official paper last week urged Roman Catholics to question and study whether these age-old tenets are still relevant.

First will come several days of private mourning, which will be followed by a period of public mourning, during which her body will lie in state at Westminster Hall in the Houses of Parliament complex.

No matter what one thinks of ethnic studies, such curricular decisions don’t seem susceptible to the principle of “one man, one vote.” Where do the borders of this community lie, and how much influence does each community member deserve? Are undergraduates part owners in the University, or its short-term customers? How should we weigh the desires of the alumni, who have been shaped by the institution but who have also left it behind...
