Asked Tuesday why the event was rejected, Vincent Sansone, the diocesan theologian who vets proposed speakers, said that Pax Christi is not a diocesan organization.
…
The vetting requirement was decreed by Bishop Francis X. DiLorenzo weeks after he succeeded Sullivan as the diocese’s leader in 2004. His first theologian, the Rev. Russell Smith, said at the time that speakers would be judged by their alignment with Catholic doctrine.
The diocese’s guidelines state that speakers must be “in good standing in the Church” and provide proof they’ve taken a course in protecting against child abuse. They also must provide a resume and a letter from their bishop or pastor “attesting to their orthodoxy.”

We’re not getting the full picture. A piece is missing from the puzzle. The article makes no mention of Pax Christi following the guidelines, so that means they probably aren’t. Which means the missing piece is most likely unorthodoxy.
