"Right wing hit job"...c'mon.

What was written in that article that was not true, or at least accurate?
-LoL (an apt moniker) issued in the secularization of Catholic Universities, much like what had been seen a century earlier with denominational Protestant universities.
-The Rockefeller commission was against the final draft of Humanae Vitae (among other things). But it ultimately didn't matter, as all the prog bishops and priests preached against it in the confessional and at the pulpit, leading to the continual mess of the sexual revolution under the guise of "conscience".
-the Cuomo incident lives on in the despicable recent acts of his son.
-"Fr." (hey, he hated wearing the collar) McBrien and his heretical book Catholicism are direct counter-point to the recent thread in the PBR of professors having influence on their pupils. "If you want your kids to lose the Catholic Faith, send them to a Catholic University". How much confusion has that book sown.

Now, I'm sure progs champion these as stepping stone victories, but not for the soul and fidelity of the Church.

Writes Msgr. Kelly, when Ex Corde Ecclesia was promulgated: "The Land O'Lakes protagonists have been so persuasive in deconstructing the typical American Catholic institution of higher education in the name of teaching excellence, research grants, university prestige, even survival, that the essential elements of the matter under discussion—young students and their commitment to the Catholic faith—rarely come under critical analysis or involve confessions of personal responsibility by administrators of Catholic colleges."

Or as Scripture is more succinct: Mark 8:36 "For what shall it profit a man, if he gain the whole world, and suffer the loss of his soul?"

Fr. Hesburgh was a great man who did many great things, and he was far greater than both his successors, but he was not infallible.
