Name: Janelle Lazzo on Jul 30, 2008Comments: I am a long-time admirer of Rosemary Radner Ruether and have learned much from her writings and lectures through the years. This high-handed treatment of her is insulting and ultimately harmful not only to her and all of us who look to her for cogent theological observations, but to the university itself.Flag

Name: Rev. Dr. Barbara A. Cullom on Jul 30, 2008Comments: It is such small minded meanness that caused me to leave the Roman Church with no regrets. Acts such as this are the reason I'm glad I found a new church home where all gifts are honored and spirited discussions of differences are commonplace.Flag

Name: Heather Haines on Jul 30, 2008Comments: Would that we could have institutions in this Church which could think and act independently from the narrowness that fear and insular thinking breed. Institutions whose experience of faith encouraged them to see the mystery & wonder of the possiblilites of the horizon and not the stagnation of boundariesFlag

Name: Julianna Donofrio on Jul 30, 2008Comments: As a seminarian at Pacific School of Religion and Andover Newton Teological School, I had the privilege to have known and been deeply influenced by Professor Ruether's work and presence at conferences and in classrooms. I am deeply saddened that this learned and most respected scholar is being treated in this fashion.Flag

Name: Bridget Mary Meehan on Jul 30, 2008Comments: Rosemary is one of the great feminist theologians of our times. This is a sad day for all who believe in academic freedom. If Catholic instituttions continue in this direction, they will lose all credibility with academics worldwide. Why are they afraid of the feminist critique I always thought that the pursuit of truth was their goal, not now, not anymore.Flag

Name: Erin Cole on Jul 30, 2008Comments: What a shame that in the one place where we encourage people to expand their minds, explore their beliefs, and expose themselves to multiple points of view, the administration of USD is intentionally involved in limiting student access to the scholars that can assist them in achieving those goals.Flag
