"Bishop flunks the professor" on Kennedy case

Sandro Magister (April 21, 2010) writes: "ROME, April 21, 2010 – The defense of John Kennedy - or better, of his "doctrine" on the relationship between religion and politics - made by Professor Luca Diotallevi in reply to the harsh criticisms of the first Catholic American president by the archbishop of Denver, Charles J. Chaput, did not go unnoticed."

In response to Chaput's earlier criticisms of Kennedy, Professor Diotallevi, a sociologist of religion, student of American society, and adviser to the Italian bishops' conference, replied to Chaput on April 12.

And now the archbishop of Denver critiques the criticisms of Diotallevi, and reiterates and clarifies his own theses.
