Xavier University’s president initially resisted the HHS mandate. Sadly he has caved:
“An example that universities ought to set for the country as a whole is the holding of the (political) center. I did not lead this institution in a process like that, and I hold myself accountable.”
Graham said the mandate for all employers, including Catholic universities and hospitals, to offer insurance plans that cover contraceptives is “deeply problematic.”
“Religious institutions have never been asked to violate their consciences in this profound a manner,” he said. “I was unaware of the coverage (by XU) until the whole thing blew up. … But we will comply with the law.”
And another Catholic declares non habemus deum nisi Caesaram
That’s weird. The political center? So that’s Xavier’s mandate? Then why don’t they call themselves Centrist University?
