Week after speaking at meeting of discredited ministry to homosexuals, USD professor headed to LA Religious Education Congress
A dissident University of San Diego theology professor who spoke at the recently concluded New Ways Ministry conference in Baltimore, Maryland, is also scheduled to present two workshops at the upcoming 2012 Los Angeles Religious Education Congress in Anaheim.
New Ways Ministry, an outreach effort to homosexuals denounced by US bishops because it rejects Catholic teachings on human sexuality, held its “Seventh Annual Symposium on Catholicism and Homosexuality” from March 15-17. Among the speakers at the symposium was University of San Diego professor of systematic theology Orlando Espin, whose topic was “LGBTQ’s among Latinos/as and Latinos/as among White LGBTQ’s.”
The University of San Diego identifies itself to the public as “a Roman Catholic institution.” Espin has been on the USD faculty since 1991.
New Ways Ministry, which calls itself “a gay-positive ministry of advocacy and justice for lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) Catholics,” was founded in 1977 by Sr. Jeannine Gramick and Fr. Robert Nugent. In 1999, the Holy See’s Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith notified Sr. Gramick and Fr. Nugent that they were “permanently prohibited from any pastoral work involving homosexual persons.”
