The question is rather, which theology does he know? The Catholic Church has grown by rejecting whole swathes of doctrine, making its creeds at once more precise and more profound. And each time that a doctrine was rejected, a schism was created. Do you imagine for a minute that this man will give a precise and accurate account of the grounds on which the Church rejects Universalism? Do you imagine that his account of Church dogma, supposing that he even delivers anything so restrictive, would be sympathetic, fair, or accurate? Do you imagine that he would ever call the reason to accept one doctrine and reject another by its proper name: intellectual honesty? Or do you not imagine, rather, that he would subject his students to a steady barrage of that anti-dogmatic, pseudo-tolerant, but really anti-intellectual kind of propagand of which they already have got far more than enough, since childhood, from the media?
