Where is Cardinal George in this? Is he or is he not technically in charge of all Catholic Institutions in his Diocese?

It seems to me an appeal to his sensibilities is more in order than to try and appeal to DePaul Administration to do the right thing.

Enough is enough. Take back the Church Cardinal. The helm has been left to the hands of the subversive for long enough.

DePaul is a Catholic university the same as France is a Catholic country. The traditions and foundations are there, but the practice is long gone.

I really don’t know where one can go to get a truly Catholic college education. If this kind of school still exists, where is it, how much does it cost to go there, and what kind of job can you get upon graduation?

In my middling knowledge of Canon Law, The Archdiocese of Chicago is only related by geography to the management of DePaul. DePaul is governed by a Religious Order, the Vincentians, who report directly to Rome from their local hierarchy in Chicago.

However, the Archdiocese of Chicago can recommend, suggest, co-operate, refuse to co-operate with the Vincentians on any number of issues, by there is no direct line of authority from Superior Street to the DePaul management.

Quite right. DePaul is not staffed by diocesan priests who would be directly answerable to the Cardinal and the Archdiocese.

Dan,

great article, it is about time someone pointed this out. Makes me rethink and become pro choice until the 198th month.
