Archbishop emphasizes need for spiritual teachers

Cheri Perkins Mantz reported in our Catholic Herald on a panel discussion at Concordia University that included not only Archbishop Dolan but also Marquettte University president Fr. Robert Wild, S.J.

Fr. Wild discussed the values given to Marquette students.

"You manage to integrate values that men and women take with them after they leave the school," he said.

...

"We need good people who in turn make us look good," Fr. Wild said. "When the good stuff happens, it’s often due to your colleagues. We really need to live out who we are."

Which puts me in mind of a reply by Fr. Wild to a letter asking why nothing is done about Prof. Daniel Maguire.

While you seem to suggest that it would be easy enough for us to get rid of Dr. Maguire if only we had the will to do so, I can assure you that it is not.

Whether it would be easy or not doesn't matter if Fr. Wild is really saying it shouldn't be done. I'm willing to assume that it would be extremely difficult to remove Prof. Maquire. If it's a matter of will, the more relevant measure is to compare the will needed to that applied to preventing the return of the "Warrior" nickname.
