John Brennan: another Catholic in the upper reaches

John Brennan has been Obama’s national security adviser and is now nominated to head the CIA. His torture, rendition, and drone involvements have had moral murmuring but I’ve not detected major public criticisms of him. So today, I was surprised and amused to see Pat Lang, at my favorite military/intelligence/political blog,  say the following: “I would not have picked Brennan. He seems to me to be a rule obsessed product of too much Catholic education.” Can anyone have too much Catholic education? Does Lang mean too much Jesuit education? Brennan is a graduate of Fordham (political science).
