By Diogenes ( articles ) | Jul 23, 2004

Suppose you're the first lay president of a Philadelphia-area college associated with the Missionary Sisters of the Sacred Heart. According to your college's tax return (a public record), your salary is $156,000 (plus $18,435.50 in benefits). You have $500 in your pocket and are inspired to give it away. To whom, or what, do you direct your alms?

(a) to one of the shrines dedicated to the saint after whom your college is named

(b) to another spiritual or corporal work of mercy

(c) to a pro-abortion senator, Arlen Specter

If you're Dr. Antoinette Iadarola, president of Cabrini College, your answer is (c).
