As someone who is considering sending one of his children to this college in the fall, I would certainly appreciate comments on this story by people who might know more about Creighton and its Catholic tradition.

1. The university responded that they only teach doctrine as doctrine and view this statement from the bishops’ council as authoratative.

here is my opinon. if it doesnt fit, throw it out all together. this thing of accept one thing and not the other is ridiculous. if a teaching is not all in accordance wiht teh Church, it should be completely discarded. that is my opinion. enough wiht the buts. take a stand on all or stop the nonsense of accept this or that but not all.
