Sister Eisner

A Catholic nun

presides over a college which claims in its "Mission and Vision" statement to shaped by strong ethical values and a Catholic academic tradition. Leaving aside that the "strong ethical values" do not, at least in this statement to derive from Catholic moral teaching, lets examine the claims to Catholicism.

Looking at the undergraduate courses offered; there are eighteen secular courses that could be offered by any university. There is a religious studies course but of the seventeen units, only three are specifically Catholic. Of the nine philosophy units, only one has overt Catholic content.

She will be one of the Chairman of the Boston Committee for External Review (excuse me if I called it a Panel earlier).

You would not know from her dress that Sister Eisner is a Catholic nun. I leave it to readers to decide whether she has a sufficiently Catholic point of view to be deciding the fate of Catholic Churches in the Archdiocese of Boston. Does she for instance affirm, together with her university, Ex Corde Ecclesia.
