When we last checked in with Robbie George, our McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence was busy leading the fight to keep Obama’s openly-gay “Safe Schools Czar” Kevin Jennings from advancing “pro-homosexualist propaganda” in our nation’s classrooms.

As of this posting, Jennings has kept his job in the Education Department, and Professor George has moved on to even bigger things.  Things like a HUGE profile in Sunday’s New York Times Magazine. In “Robert P. George, The Conservative-Christian Big Thinker,” Princeton alumnus David Kirkpatrick ‘92 charts the academic and political evolution of  the nation’s “pre-eminent Catholic intellectual.”

The article goes light on personal insights about Professor George (though Kirkpatrick finds it relevant to report that George’s wife, Cindy, is Jewish) but does provide a pretty thorough accounting of George’s emergence as a major figure in socially conservative political circles.

The article also provides a preview of an upcoming paper by George on the connection between marriage and sex (”bodily sharing”).   SPOILER ALERT!
