A Jesuit Plagiarist?

The Rev. James Martin, S.J., a columnist at America magazine, has lifted verbatim part of a talking points memo from a lobbying group, incorporating its words into his own speech to the Los Angeles Religious Education conference. The lobbying group? The homosexual advocacy group Rainbow Sash. CWNews.com has the story.

The leadership of my alma mater adflicta had excused and ignored the petty bully of a professor Ward Churchill until it was revealed that he had plagiarized another academic. I wonder if Martin's Jesuit superiors, who care so much about academic respectability, might discipline him for plagiarism?
