Update on Dan Maguire, Archbishop Burke Detractor

I was recently advised that Dan Maguire has a website. He has been most vocal in his denunciations of Archbishop Burke's position regarding Catholics and the necessity of being Pro-Life.

What is verifiable is this from his own web site "The Religious Consultation":

Daniel C. Maguire is a Professor of Moral Theological Ethics at Marquette University, a Catholic, Jesuit Institution and President of the Religious Consultation on Population, Reproductive Health and Ethics. Dr. Maguire has a degree in Sacred Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome, one of the world’s major Catholic universities. He is the author of Sacred Choices: The Right to Contraception and Abortion in Ten World Religions, Fortress Press, 2001.

Dr. Maguire has written over 150 articles printed in publications such as The New York Times, Atlantic, USA Today, The Crisis: Journal of the NAACP, etc. The articles include "Different but Equal: A Moral Assessment of the Woman's Liberation", "The Psychotherapist as Moralist", "The Freedom to Die", "Sex and Ethical Methodology", "The New Look of Death" and "Affirmative Action at Bay".

Of his many honors, he was listed by Ms. Magazine as one of the "40 male heroes of the past decade, men who took chances and made a difference", 1982. His book, The Moral Choice, won "Best Scholarly Book of the Year, 1978. The University of Notre Dame named Maguire one of the ten best teachers, 1983-1984.

His published books include: Moral Absolutes and the Magisterium, 1970; The Moral Choice, 1975; A New American Justice: Ending the White Male Monopolies, 1980; The New Subversives: Anti-Americanism of the Religious Right, 1982; The Moral Revolution, 1986; On Moral Grounds: The Art/Science of Ethics, 1991; The Moral Core of Judaism and Christianity, 1993; Sacred Energies, 2000; What Men Owe Women, 2000; Sacred Choices, 2001; and Sacred Rights, 2003.

If you review this website, you may wonder how he could possibly call himself Catholic or how he could possibly be allowed to teach at a Catholic University - If, in fact, one could call Marquette a Catholic institution. I can now see why he would display such vitriol when he is questioned about Abp. Burke - he does the same when he speaks about the Holy Father. His constant ranting is about the Church's obsession with sex...but it seems to me that Mr. Maguire has that obsession. I regret that I prematurely suggested that he should, perhaps, stay within his field of expertise - moral theology. I was, indeed, incorrect. I should have said "immoral theology".

It is truly sad to see these people self-destruct by rejecting Christ and choosing to follow Satan, instead. Pray for him, he appears to be in desperate need of God's grace and mercy.
