Vanderbuilt University: Catholics are too reasonable, too faithful

(Catholic World News) Anthony Picarello, general counsel of the United States Conference of  Catholic Bishops, has joined Bishop David Choby of Nashville and  Vanderbilt University chaplain Father John Sims Baker in opposing  Vanderbilt University’s proposal to apply its nondiscrimination policy  to student religious organizations. Under the policy, a Catholic student  organization would be guilty of discrimination if it required its  leaders to be Catholic.Catholic students held a Rosary novena ahead of a university board of  trustee meeting in an effort to prevent the implementation of the  policy. The trustee meeting concluded November 12, but as of the  following day the university had not announced the board’s decision in  the matter.
