    Bear in mind that St. John Fisher College and its' sister institute Nazareth College are not officially Catholic Colleges despite Catholic names and a Catholic history.

    Sure. Being lumped into a big bucket with a bunch of other people and stereotyped and labeled isn't a good reason for anyone to be hurt. And, of course, how one deals with being hurt has nothing to do with emotional maturity. If Diogenes thinks you shouldn't be hurt and you are, de facto you are immature. So let Diogenes write it, so let it be done.

    "I had two sleepless nights when I read this document," says Father Graf. "I really cried, because I know how much this is going to hurt some people." QED

    I think he should resign in protest and take a job at Wal Mart.
