Latest NewsSupport for snubbed theologian12 November 2012More than 100 staff at the College of Arts and Sciences at the University of San Diego in California, have threatened to call a vote of no confidence in the university's leadership if they do not reverse their decision to revoke an invitation to a leading liberal British Catholic theologian. The staff are calling on the president of the university, Mary Lyons, to reinstate the cancelled visiting fellowship of Professor Tina Beattie, Director of the Digby Stuart Research Centre for Catholic Studies at Roehampton University in south-west London, according to the US-based National Catholic Reporter. Dr Lyons cancelled Professor Beattie's fellowship at the university's Center for Catholic Thought and Culture, which was to begin tomorrow, alleging that the theologian had publicly dissented from church teaching by signing a letter published in The Times that said that Catholics could support same-sex marriage.
