Vatican approves new rules for Catholic colleges
The Vatican approved tighter controls on theology teaching at 235 Catholic colleges and universities in the United States. A university theologian must obtain a mandate from the local bishop, with potential pope leverage over dissent. The rules set presidents as Catholic and seek a Catholic majority among trustees and faculty, raising concerns about academic freedom. Bishop Joseph Fiorenza leads a bishops and academics committee to implement the policy, aiming for practical agreement.
