Would someone please tell me why this whack-job is allowed to run around (collarless) and call himself a Catholic priest? When someone is as far off base as to Catholic teaching as Mr. Curran (since he never wears a collar, the best I can do is "Mr.") he should receive a warning from his bishop to cease and desist. If the warning is not heeded he should be restricted from teaching. Instead he is allowed to teach and infuse young minds with nonsense. I find it ironic that he is the Professor of Human Values at a university.

Charles E. Curran, the Elizabeth Scurlock Professor of Human Values at Southern Methodist University (SMU), is planning to deliver an on-campus lecture noon Thursday entitled “The U.S. Catholic Bishops and Abortion Legislation: A Critique from Within the Church.”
“Curran’s lecture will examine how U.S. Roman Catholic bishops have made opposition to legal abortion their primary social issue, and will challenge the bishops from a theological perspective for claiming too much certitude in their position," states an SMU press release. In the release, Curran states that, “There should be room in the Catholic Church for different positions on this issue.” read the rest
