A voice of Modern Orthodoxy speaks

Rabbi Herschel Schechter of Yeshiva University weighs in on conversions debate in Israel in an interview with Shmuel Rosner. Here is my comment: 

I don’t understand R’ Schechter:
He respects R’ Druckman, then questions his ability to give pesak halacha? If you have ‘rabbi’ as a title, you may not like to do it, and may not be expert in every area of it-but you’d better be prepared to render pesak. A rabbi’s just for sermons? Dan Lechaf Zechut? Druckman led where noone else did. I DID a course AT YU showing tshuvot where our sages bent over backwards to avoid creating mamzers-yet mod orthodoxy condones a haredi path to make MORE?
