Someone told me...

[Thy Geekdom Come]

Someone told me that she has a friend at Steubenville and he's telling her about what a bad school it is because it has really subjective theology.

She said that he's only been there for either a semester or a year (she wasn't certain), so I wonder if maybe he just got one nutter as a prof and is basing everything off that experience. Anyone know of any subjective theology teachers?

maybe that friened is an uber trad?

Steubenville is orthodox and every single theology and REd professor takes oaths of fidelity to the Pope and the mandatum. A person who is a schismatic traditionalist or believes such heretical ideas as woman's ordination would not get along well in the theology department.

I heard it smells...

Yeah, that's what I figured, but I know that she's very orthodox, and she said that he was, too.

I figured it must be just like one professor. Creighton University also takes the mandatum, but they've been in BIG trouble recently for some things they teach and some abuses of the Mass...

By their fruits you will know them.

What kind of graduates does the University turn out? Dissenters or Consenters?

Just don't take Fr. Frinsko for any classes...

He's not like heretical or anything.. but, um, sometimes he says interesting things. And, you'll get a better theological education from any of the other theology profs.

[Brother Adam]

I'm in Fr. Frinskos class and I don't see anything wrong with him. He's a bit on the senile side and doesn't understand why his class doesn't laugh at his jokes which aren't funny... If you do the reading you'll get what you need to know.

[Fides_et_Ratio]

I didn't say there was anything wrong with him per se, I just said you'd get a better theological education from the other profs, which is true.

Oh dear...we have one of those at Niagara....you can usually hear the crickets after he pops a joke....

Have you ever heard about the Ave Maria hiring practices? That's the way it's s'posed to be done.

Micah, I was talking to Tim at St. Gregory's. There is a semmie who goes there that said the same thing.

Hmmm...he must not be from this diocese, because Steubenville is much beloved.

I think there are probably some people who look at the charismatics and get afraid. I can understand that caution...but calling Steubenville unorthodox...that's just goofy.

[picchick]

Steubenville is much loved everywhere. He wasn't bashing them. He was just mentioning about one of his theology professors.
It wasn't charismatic. I mean this professor was teaching false Church doctrine.

How is an FOP unorthodox? Last I checked it was not a mass and there is nothing that the Church has written against Priase and Worship?

Who was the professor and what was he teaching that was false. I would like to know specific details. I will find out his office hours this week and visit him to substaniate the claims.
