Oh Jesus, Majerus has done it now

When a basketball coach at a Catholic school supports Hillary, the achbishop gets quite irate.

Expressing your own opinion is overrated, anyway.

 

Some of Al's great fights at Marquette were with the Jesuits, who learned to treat a fellow renegade with respect.
SLU is a Jesuit school. They should tell Bishop Fathead to go find a pedophile to harbor.

 

Remind me again why any of us should give a shit who a basketball coach, a star athlete or any other celebrity is going to vote for?

 

We don't.
The archbishop of St. Louis does.

 

Because G-d said so?

 

In that case, I have no problem with the archbiship telling Majerus to STFU but he should leave it at that. It is a Catholic University with Catholic values and if an employee disagrees or even agrees with said values he should really keep it to himself.

My larger point is why in the hell is Rick Majerus, Chuck Norris, Alec Baldwin, etc., etc. -- appearing on stage at any of these rallies? Who gives a fuck what they think?

That being said,

 

Well, who gives a fuck what the Archbishop of Saint Louis University thinks? What gives him such great insight into politics that the basketball coach doesn't have?

 

The US Catholic hierarchy should all be summarily made to take a civics class in a re-education camp in the Smokies.
Except for the ones that should be in prison.
I care more about a coach's opinion than I do those of accessories before and after the fact.

 

The school administration is standing by Majerus. If Burke wants to play hardball over this, a lot of heads will be rolling.

 

Nobody gives a fuck what the archbishop thinks -- well except for those people who are his employees, either directly or indirectly, and he has the power to, you know, fire.

And your religious bigotry shows its ugly head again.

This is no different than a CEO issuing a directive to some of his underlings that it isn't good for business if they are spouting their political views in a very public way.

I don't know about your shop, but I know in my shop,we're not permitted to publicly endorse any candidates, even to the point where we can't put political signs in our yard because we are supposed to maintain neutrality.

This isn't that uncommon among big businesses so why should the Catholic church be ripped any more or less?

Oh that's right because they are a religious organization.........
