<p>Marite,</p>
<p>I think the comment was sarcastic on jlauer’s part. Reading the press in the Globe it is pretty clear that there is more than one Republican at BC as I am sure is also true of Harvard. Another alternative label is conservative or liberal.</p>
<p>I have trouble with the labels. Particularly when viewed at a Catholic school. Depending upon the issue the position on one subject could be viewed as liberal(immigration, death penalty) where on another it would be viewed as conservative (abortion, gay marriage).</p>
<p>For more on this see Boston College’s recent panel moderated by Tim Russert titled “Catholic Politicians in the U.S.: Their Faith and Public Policy”.</p>
