Deal Hudson, the publisher of the conservative Roman Catholic journal Crisis and the architect of a Republican effort to court Catholic voters, said he is resigning as an adviser to the Bush campaign because of a newspaper's investigation into accusations of sexual misconduct involving a student at a college where he once taught.
