The weeds continue to grow with the wheat...I agree with the Mount's solutions, but be careful not to give them to much of what they are seeking: a reaction and lots of attention.

The depiction of Nazism as being superior to Judaism is to depict a Nazi as superior to Jesus, ..... a Jew!
Note, I went from the universal to the particular to accentuate my point of Logic.
We are one nation under God, and the Mount is one Catholic University under the "Triune" God. God's second person being Jesus, the Jew. So the depiction of Nazism as being superior to Judaism is a non sequitur. The foundation of this syllogism is our faith.
I think Fathers Fives, Redmond and Philips are smiling, saying : 'Hey, Peter did listen to our lectures' ;)
I know the incident is upsetting, don't be unless it happens again. However using the incident as a learning tool is a wonderful thing.
Sign me off as, 'just an old "C" student.'

This is certainly an unfortunate thing to have happened but this sort of thing will inevitably happen once in a while. It's important to recognize how wrong it is and try to communicate that message to everyone, but it's almost impossible to avoid it from ever happening.
