McKendree University President James M. Dennis is drawing criticism from SNAP for allowing our town’s Fr. Maurice Nutt to speak on campus. For those with short memories, in 2001, Nutt resigned  as city police commissioner after being sued for allegedly sexually harassing three officers offering them to view adult and child porn with one of them. The former “St. Rock” pastor now heads Black Catholic Studies at Xavier University in New Orleans. (Nutt has a doctorate in preaching but not in spelling on his website. The word “university” is misspelled.

NYC CARDINAL TIM DOLAN, a Ballwin native, is apparently a generous man. He says on his blog that he was “just approached by presidential who asked me for $10,000 – and I gave it.” Then he says he gave a quarter-million to a university and $100,000 to a museum. The prelate wouldn’t disclose the particular beneficiaries of this alleged largesse.

THE OSCARS ACCORDING TO FACEBOOK USERS
Leading mentions that “Amercan Sniper” will win as best picture say users of the social media platform. Best actor? Bradley Cooper. Another prediction for Sunday night’s ceremony: “Still Alice” star Julianne Moore as best actress.
