I find it ironic that the termination without cause of Dr. Topping from Newman Theological College and as Director of the Benedict XVI Institute coincided with the release of the new pastoral priorities by the Archdiocese:

1. Eucharistic Worship - Adoremus, which was run by Dr. Topping, exemplifies worship of our Lord in the Holy Eucharist.

2. Confident Witness - The orthodox Catholic formation that we so desperately need for witness, especially among our youth, is central to the B.A in Catholic Studies program that was initiated by Dr. Topping and is also offered to a broader audience through other initiatives started by Dr. Topping, such as Credo and the St. John Paull II Catholic Youth Leadership Camp.

3. Service to Families and Marriage - Dr. Topping and his wife have ten children; they are all faithful and active members of the local Catholic community. There is no better example of service to families and marriage than actually living it out like Dr. Topping does.

It feels hypocritical that the Archdiocese would get rid of someone who exemplifies all these priorities and puts them into action in both his personal and professional life from its most prominent institute for Catholic education and formation.

Do you agree to be kept informed about this campaign?

Yes
