Even in the context of the socio-political period of the Holocaust and the Inquisitions (of which Spain's was only one chapter of), I cannot be as charitable as you to call the perpetrators of the persecutions of that era as Christians, Ell. And, I am more inclined to refer to Christian conduct such as Maximillian Kolbe's and the Christian martyrs who were found heretics for defending the Moors and Jews.

Thanks, Anno. The UM-Morris Chancellor Jacqueline Johnson released a statement today which pretty much clarified the University's position: "...behaviors that discriminate against or harass individuals or groups on the basis of their religious beliefs are reprehensible...". At the same time, however, she stated that the university: "...affirms the freedom of a faculty member to speak or write as a public citizen without institutional discipline or restraint." Which does not really mean anything because, in effect, whilst admitting that Prof Myers has breached the Code of Conduct, he is allowed licence to proceed with impunity under the pretext of free speech.

Obviously, there is an anti-Catholic agenda at UM. One only has to go by previous record on other issues taken up with them independent of this matter. And actions taken are immensely different to that of University of Central Florida. As it has been mentioned, it is unlikely that they would take the same stance if Afro-Americans were treated to a burning of the cross and the Jewish community were subjected to a display of swastikas. By law, the Catholic community warrants the same protection.
