This e-mail comes to us from a European court e-mail address:

A non-American Catholic view of the Georgetown affair: the Catholic Church is a worldwide organization as, indeed, is the Jesuit order. The modern Catholic Church is predominantly Black African and Latin American. Even in the US, the Church is increasingly Latino. The evangelicals are either non-existent, or, at most, marginal, outside the US and have been, and still are, objects of ridicule and derision across the entire planet. They are also associated with policies which annoy most of the world, such as the Iraq war, which John Paul II repeatedly condemned, and ideologies such as intelligent design which contradict established Catholic teaching.
They are also, of course, associated, with a hate campaign against Islam. The Catholic Church simply cannot afford to be on bad terms with Islam. Catholics and Muslims rub shoulders in Black Africa and there is competition between them. Some of the oldest parts of the Church are the eastern rites to be found in the Middle East. The Chaldeans of Iraq have suffered terribly from the US invasion. And then there’s the Maronites of Lebanon and Israel’s 70 000 Melkite Catholics. And the Phillipines and East Timor etc., etc., etc.!
The American evangelicals have thus become a liability for the Catholic Church and the close association between them and some American Catholics is increasingly embarrassing. The Jesuits have always been known for their political savvy, so it is not surprising that they have taken the first step.
Personally, I am very shocked by the way in which some American Catholics seem to do little but foam and froth about abortion while chucking the other 95% of Catholic morality out the window! I think that the Church in the US has got out of control and needs to be seriously reined in from Rome. I see the appointment of Cardinal Levada to succeed B16 at the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith as a sign that the Vatican establishment is thinking along the same lines.
So not liberal bias, just Catholic bias!

At some point, perhaps, Europe should just take Georgetown, come to think of it.
