Thomas Aquinas College has announced that Cardinal Marc Ouellet will preside over their commencement ceremonies next week. The Board of Governors chose the prelate because of his "exemplary loyalty" and "devotion" to the magisterium.
Several Catholic universities have been in the headlines over the last few weeks as some have invited speakers who embrace beliefs in direct violation of Catholic teaching.
This trend was bucked as Thomas Aquinas College, located in Santa Paula, California, extended an invitation to Ouellet, the General Relator of the Synod of Bishops. The decision, announced by interim President Peter DeLuca, was a welcomed by the Board of Governors.
