Extract
We are grateful that the editors secured three thoughtful though critical responses to our essay. Such responses perform a service by calling to our attention matters we have insufficiently considered, pushing us to greater clarity, and perhaps revealing to us errors that we have overlooked.

1 “Of all the traditional religious stances, it is probably Roman Catholicism that has the hardest time at H[arvard] D[ivinity] S[chool]. Anti-Catholicism is still the anti-Semitism of the intellectuals. Certain positions that Catholicism regards as crucial to its vision of the just society cannot be easily advocated in the Divinity School. You try to take a pro-life position there, boy, you're dead. A Catholic has to be either dissident or silent on issues like these—or astonishingly courageous.” Levenson, Jon D., List Professor of Jewish Studies at Harvard Divinity School.
