Newark archbishop not happy with college course on same-sex marriage

Newark Archbishop John J. Myers said a course on same-sex marriage to be offered in the fall at Seton Hall University “troubles me greatly.”

“This proposed course seeks to promote as legitimate a train of thought that is contrary to what the church teaches. As a result, the course is not in sync with Catholic teaching,” the archbishop said in an April 30 statement.

He said the university’s board of trustees has asked the school’s board of regents to “investigate the matter of this proposed course, and to take whatever action is required under the law to protect the Catholicity of this university.”
