Oh, please …

… Another Side of Flannery O’Connor | Commonweal Magazine. (Hat tip, Dave Lull.)

This dependence on hazy references and alarmist rhetoric contrasts sharply with Linnane’s explanation of Loyola’s decision. A Yale-trained ethicist, Linnane recognizes the counterarguments to his position. He takes care to note O’Connor’s growth as a person who wrestled with her sins, as well as the salubrious effect of some of her stories. But he finally decided the needs of his students meant taking her name off of a dormitory—an example of the careful sifting of O’Connor’s life and work that her readers should welcome.

Actually, it’s proof that you can be “a Yale-trained ethicist” and also a pusillanimous twit. I’m supposed to believe this guy knows more about right and wrong because he learned about it at Yale. Give me a break.
