Recently reported:
The chairman of the theology department at Fordham University has gotten married—to another man.
Vince Lombardi's rotational speed approaches 50,000 RPM.
Clintonesque parsing follows:
...When asked whether Fordham was concerned about having a professor of
theology whose lifestyle choice is in opposition to the teaching of the
Catholic Church about marriage, a spokesman for the university said
Hornbeck has the right to get married.
“While Catholic teachings
do not support same-sex marriage, we wish Professor Hornbeck and his
spouse a rich life filled with many blessings on the occasion of their
wedding in the Episcopal Church,” said Bob Howe, Fordham's senior
director of communications. “Professor Hornbeck is a member of the
Fordham community, and like all University employees, students and
alumni, is entitled to human dignity without regard to race, creed,
gender, and sexual orientation.”
Howe emphasized that same-sex
unions are “now the law of the land, and Professor Hornbeck has the same
constitutional right to marriage as all Americans.”...
The flak doesn't mention a bedrock principle of Catholic doctrine: there is NO 'right' to do what is wrong. Ever. Period. End of sentence.
But then, what does Catholic doctine have to do with Fordham's theology department?
