This is almost complicated: At Mirror of Justice, Rick Garnett addresses an America editorial that cites the Bishop of Portlande’s criticism of the Cardinal Newman Society

Still, surely the "litmus test" items on which the Society is said to focus — some of them, anyway? — are relevant and important to the question of Catholic identity?  Also, is the point of the editorial to claim that (a) the Cardinal Newman Society’s focus is too narrow; (b) the focus should be broader; and therefore, (c) "go away, stop worrying about Catholic identity issues at Catholic (and, especially, Jesuit) institutions because all is well"?  But is it enough to establish that Catholic universities are doing well to claim (fairly or not) that a vocal critic of Catholic universities has not always done well?
