Religion & Law

The New York Times article (U.S. Nuns Facing Vatican Scrutiny)  linked by Michael P., his comments (?I doubt there is a non-patriarchal (non-sexist?) explanation for??), and the response by Fr. Araujo (Sr. Brink said that the Religious Life she proposes moves beyond the Church, Christ, and Christianity) got me to thinking about analogies.

If a law school faculty decided that it had moved beyond the university and beyond the law, shouldn?t the university's hierarchy (not to mention the ABA and AALS) send a team to investigate and scrutinize?  Wouldn?t these hierarchies be justified in scrutinizing a law school that adopted the following first year curriculum:  art and the law (where the main work involved students painting legal subjects), law and society (where the major work was living on the streets and in shelters to learn to identify with the marginalized), tribal law and customs from the ancient world, and two other similar courses?
