Yesterday, you may recall, I witched about a silly controversy at Catholic U in D.C. In the process, I completely misread a campus-paper editorial and news story, and confused two separate campus speaker policies. In the midst of doing that, I also unfairly (and unintentionally) maligned an old professor of mine, Prof. Stephen Schneck. Schneck is pro-life, first off, and was not only cool with Fr. O’Connell’s prayer at the Bush-Cheney rally on election night, but is also opposed to pro-abortion speakers on campus. (Whoo-hoo! Go, Schneck!)

The Tower piece made that completely clear, but in my rush I confused John Kenneth White’s opposition to Fr. O’Connell prayer with Stephen Schneck’s support of it. (Yes, a little embarrassing here.)

Dr. Schneck sent me a very kind e-mail last night setting the record straight. I only hope he doesn’t hold himself accountable for my inability to read. In truth, I took more Walsh and Coyle in the politics department, so they bear more of the responsibility, I suppose.

And put me in the hall of commentariat dishonor this morning.
