The Jesuit run Creighton University is creating headaches for the archdiocese of Nebraska. The school is promoting speakers with views that run very counter to Catholic morality and has theologians that contradict Church teaching. Universities have the job of teaching students and also allowing open academic debate. Catholic universities have this job in addition to promoting Catholic theology and spirituality. Other Catholic universities have found a balance between open debate and faithfulness to the Church, so I’m sure the many Jesuit run institutions can as well. The question remains: do they want to?
