Following reports that Seton Hall University would be offering a class on same-sex "marriage," Archbishop John Myers of Newark, N.J. released a statement yesterday (April 30, 2010), informing the public that the school's Board of Regents will be investigating the course and "take whatever action is required under the law to protect the Catholicity of this university."
Seton Hall is planning to offer the course on same-sex "marriage" through its Department of Women and Gender Studies this coming fall.
In his statement, Archbishop Myers noted that as "shepherd" of Newark, he is "responsible for maintaining the Catholic identity of all Church institutions and organizations within the Archdiocese, and for ensuring authentic and orthodox Catholic teaching in all educational institutions and parishes."
Seton Hall -- the oldest diocesan university in the United States and the largest Catholic university in New Jersey -- has its main campus in South Orange, within the Newark Archdiocese.
