HIT A NERVE?

Apologies are flying at St Joseph’s University, according to this story from KYW Newsradio.

KYW's Ian Bush reports officials at St. Joseph's University are apologizing for the April Fool's parody edition of the student paper, which called Cardinal Rigali "gay" and compared Jesuits to Nazis.

I guess the students hit a nerve.

University president Fr. Timothy Lannon, expressed regret to the Archdiocese:

"He has apologized to the Cardinal personally, and it's my understanding that the editor-in-chief of The Hawk will also be personally sending an apology to the Cardinal."

Lannon apologized because the Cardinal isn’t gay? Or because it’s impolite to bring the subject up? And if he's celibate, what difference does it make?

A man who is secure in his sexuality and in his authority should be able to roll with these kinds of punches.
