Fr. Shea should consider moving to the American Catholic Church, which embraces female priests. He would feel more at home in that church.
A miracle at Barely Catholic.
Twenty years ago, my wife and I helped to organize a debate on abortion between Peter Kreeft and an openly Marxist professor of sociology from BC. Guess which BC professor was surrounded by a bunch of student groupies?
It wasn’t the good one.
Good for Boston College.
was he "let go," or was his "contract not renewed?"
Second they need to review the Supreme Court Case from January.
Landmark Supreme Court ruling a 'resounding win' for religious groups
Let us pray for a TOTAL cleansing of all schools and universities that claim to be “Catholic.”
If the left and the Obama Administration are going to try and force their beliefs onto a religious institution and onto religious people illegally, then it's about time those same institutions THROW OUT the children and supporters of that same forced moral relativism. FIGHT BACK!
Oh...and those BC students so high on protesting the ‘intolerance.’...they can go too.
You have other college choices kiddos.
A PR move. If he was an adjunct, it means non-tenured. They are contracted semester-by-semester, though possibly he might have had some arrangement more steady than that, but certainly not protection of tenure. So he can readily be non-renewed.
And yes, if he was on a sessional contracts, then he was not “fired” but simply not contracted again. Sessional positions have no presumption of renewal, though de facto he may well have been treated as a steady renewal and this breaks that.
But it’s mostly inconsequential as far as BC is concerned—a PR plus for the broad middle of the constituency and the only downside is with the really radical feminists who haven’t given up on women’s ordination yet (despite infallible papal pronouncements in 1976 and 1994, clarified as irreformable by a later official response to a “dubium” [request for clarification]).
This being the case, he is too dumb to teach grade school, let alone in college. This has been explained over and over, including by Blessed JPII in several apostolic letters.
He that hath ears, let him hear. Or take a hike.
intollerance?
seems the only intollerance is from the left wing radicals.
All the students who are supporting this should also be let go.
The guy is an adjunct professor. Meaning he has a yearly contract. He not only doesn’t have tenure, but he’s not in line for a tenure decision.
They have kept this jerk on for many years, and obviously approved of his dissident teachings. He just made the mistake of going too far this time, and the College knew they’d be in trouble from the bishop if they gave him still another year of teaching heresies to their students.
BC still is a mess. They have only let troublemakers go over the years when things got too hot to handle.
Notice that “several” students are objecting. What’s that? Two? Three? The students are probably more faithful than most of the faculty, although the faculty are working on fixing that.
I thought a dissident Jesuit was one hat was Catholic?
