Westminster Seminary California and Roman Catholicism

Would a Calvinist preparing for the ministry enroll in a seminary where the professors are graduates of Roman Catholic universities? I know I wouldn't. Westminster Seminary California has all kinds of professors who have not only graduated from Catholic Universities, but who are also active in Catholic Bible associations, and who are actively publishing in Catholic quarterlies, and so on.

Here is an update on Westminster Seminary California:

Dear Friends,
The Romanist associations of men of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church and Westminster Seminary California continue unchecked and seemingly unquestioned. Dr. David Van Drunen, OPC minister and professor of systematic theology and Christian ethics at WSC, will be a featured panelist at the Fifth Annual Conference on Christian Legal Thought sponsored by the Lumen Christi Institute, a Roman Catholic think tank. Van Drunen received his Ph. D. from the Loyola University of Chicago, a Jesuit school. For a number of years he has also been associated with the Acton Institute, another Roman Catholic think tank. In 2004 he received that organizations Novak Award, which included a $10,000 cash prize, for his research on the legal thought of the Roman Catholic priest Thomas Aquinas. That research produced a book, Law and Custom: The Thought of Thomas Aquinas and the Future of the Common Law, which effectively endorsed the Roman Catholic natural law theory (which denies Sola Scriptura, instead promoting the idea that Scripture does not constitute man's sole authority for morals and ethics). The church in our time has forgotten what it means to be Protestant. May God raise up a new band of Luthers and Calvins in our day.
In Christ,
Paul Elliott
