> its degree program is pretty overtly not a traditional academic degree program (not even in theology), but a religio-political indoctrination program designed to create warriors for a particular political viewpoint on behalf of a theocratic faction within Catholicism

Do these bits:

  The college aims at a revived citizen class of educated workers who can hold the powerful forces of our society to account"

and

  The American separation of religion from public life [...] is an error[...]. This error must be overcome

form the basis of your conclusion?

For what it's worth, I recoiled from the sentiment 'dragonwriter expressed, but I did some digging and I think they're more right than wrong about this. It's unfortunate, because creative alternative credentials and trade-focused education are interesting and valuable discussions to have. But I don't think this particular organization is likely to be operating in good faith.
