This was back in November 2014, but I just now came across the news of it. Oddly enough, Cardinal Gerhard Müller, prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, was the featured speaker for the ceremony. And, on that score, I thought that CUA president, John Garvey, was a voice for orthodoxy among the liberals in “Catholic” academia? Well it all goes to show you that we must “go along to get along.” Or, maybe it’s just “business as usual.” Orthodoxy is good, but, obviously, for certain theologians who are listed on the right, the truths of the Faith can’t be taken too seriously.
From the CUA website: Cardinal Walter Kasper, president emeritus of the Pontifical Council for Promoting Christian Unity, will be honored at The Catholic University of America on Thursday, Nov. 6, as the 2014 recipient of the Johannes Quasten Award, the only academic award given by the University’s School of Theology and Religious Studies (STRS).
Cardinal Kasper will also speak on “Theological Background of the Ecclesiological and Ecumenical Vision of Pope Francis.” More on this here.
