“Meanwhile, shame on “Catholic” institutions -— worldly institutions still living off the bequests of devout alumni and the fumes of Catholicism -—which showcase error rather than refute it.”
Until the church of Rome comes out and severs ties with institutions like this, these institutions are Catholic and are the public face of Catholicism (apart from the pr disaster the priest thing was).
Yet, it doesn’t happen. At this point, it would appear that they do not care enough yet in Rome to do anything - or they’re OK with it.
Frankly, as a non-roman-Christian, I wish for your group that they would. Same with the liberal nun-groups in the news. Same with the gay aspects.
Meanwhile, 23 years later --- the mills of the Church grind slowly --- Pope John Paul II issued an Apostolic Constitution called "Ex Corde Ecclesiae" which set up certain standards for Catholic colleges and Universities, and charged the local bishops, basically, with enforcement.
Most bishops put it in the big file cabinet that stands alongside the "Priorities 1-50" file cabinet, which reads "Priorities 50 - Infinity."
The problem is disobedient bishops who don't hold themselves bound by either authoritative Constitutions nor Canon Law.
