I hope I am not overestimating this, but this could be huge.
Creighton University is noted for its work in teaching NFP to all comers including to physicians. There are doctors trained in what is called “the Creighton Method.” They are frequently those who will allow no artificial birth control of any kind in their practice and are sought out by Catholic women.
If this now reflects the attitude of that Institute and Creighton itself, it would be devastating. Bishop Elden Curtiss is an incredible man. He is one of the most orthodox Bishop’s in the U.S. If he has “pulled the pin on this grenade,” it is bad. It means that theologically, they are “off the reservation” and he will not tolerate that.
What a shame!

Bishop Curtiss should read Archbishop.
while most catholic colleges have co-ed dorms.
Although I'm personally not big fan of NFP since I so often see it advocated and practiced with what I perceive as a contraceptive mindset, it should be noted that the "Creighton Method" is a product of the Pope Paul VI Institute for the Study of Human Reproduction and not the "Center for Marriage and Family" at Creighton University. I still find the idea of this Catholic university permitting such a heretical group on its campus to be quite troubling.
