As lifelong lay faithful Catholics who’ve lived in the Prince Albert, Calgary, and now Edmonton Diocese. I have a firm living memory of the priests who came out of Newman in the 80’s with extremely liberal ideas centred around artificial birth control (some advised my own mother to do this, and that it was ok, and that Church teaching would be changing to accept it), and have seen many priest exit the priesthood to get married as they were ordained under the impression that they would be allowed to marry as priests (my own priest who gave me first communion was one of these). All of the priests I just described were the direct result of a liberalized Newman Theological College, and there were very many faithful Catholics that welcomed its restructuring. Now, in an extremely myopic move - an interim president who does not believe in our Catholic faith has been placed at the helm, and is steering the future of the college back in the opposite direction. We have few deliberately Catholic Institutions left that have been untainted in today’s culture - reverse this decision immediately - apologize, and own up to this injustice. Until you prove that Newman is authentically Catholic, many Catholic families like our own will be boycotting sending our children (we have 5) to Newman in the future, and further, donations are being withheld to the annual bishops appeal.
