Peoria, Ill., Jul 31, 2010 / 06:14 pm (CNA/EWTN News).- The Diocese of Peoria praised the University of Illinois’ decision to reinstate Dr. Kenneth Howell, who had been told at the end of last semester that he would no longer be allowed to teach because he had stated in a class on Catholicism that the Church believes homosexual behavior violates natural law.

Despite high approval ratings on student evaluations, Dr. Howell’s position at the university was terminated this past spring after an anonymous student complaint that his words in a class on Catholicism amounted to “hate speech.” The complaint referenced an e-mail to his students in which Howell contrasted the ways utilitarianism and natural law theory would determine the morality of homosexual acts.

Praise be to God forever! I had not heard that he would be reinstated! :extrahappy:
