Why hadn't D'Arcy and other church leaders vetted these speakers for theological orthodoxy before they were invited? How did they decide that these two speakers flunked their tests?Editorial here.
And how will D'Arcy exert doctrinal control in Catholic institutions from now on?
Will not only future commencement speakers, but also employees, teachers, professors, even students need to worry more about how closely they hew to church teachings? Must they agree with D'Arcy's interpretation of doctrine on abortion? On just war? On economic and social justice? On homosexuality? On birth control?
Bishop D'Arcy's "interpretation" of the doctrine on abortion, homosexuality, contraception? Unfortunately, many people are confused in that it is not the Bishop's interpretation of these matters but the teaching of Christ and His Church. It is the responsibility of the Bishop to teach the faithful the truths of their faith. It is his responsibility to lead them to heaven and to help them to avoid the everlasting torments of hell.
