This morning on Huffington Post there is an article about uber Catholics at Gonzaga trying to get the administration to rescind it's invitation to Archbishop Desmond Tutu to speak at Gonzaga's graduation. Apparently AB Tutu does not represent real Catholic values. Makes me want to scream.

"Over the pope as expression of the binding claim of ecclesiastical authority, there stands one’s own conscience which must be obeyed before all else, even if necessary against the requirement of ecclesiastical authority. This emphasis on the individual, whose conscience confronts him with a supreme and ultimate tribunal, and one which in the last resort is beyond the claim of external social groups, even the official church, also establishes a principle in opposition to increasing totalitarianism."
