Frankly, I have not imagined any of the above, because the issue, amusing as it is, did not concern me that much.
I can imagine hiring a guy of the other faith, who is well-versed in thology to teach it. If his ability to provide accurate and fair, even if not sympathetic, account of the dogma, is to be trusted, than he can be hired. The question if he can keep to the letter and the spirit of his contract, and the ability of his employers to check if he teaches what he is supposed to teach and not try to advance his own agenda, this question is open; but that's Boston College's problem.

As pathagonian said, it's rather amusing.
