Reuters via Yahoo News has a story about the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP). The DrsC have visited Peru twice and liked the country, so COTTonLINE pays attention to Peruvian happenings.
The Vatican has ordered the university to drop the words "Pontifical Catholic" from its name. This is undoubtedly because the university has not always followed church doctrine closely, as its name suggests it would.
PUCP is resisting this order. Having spent most of my life in universities, I understand why PUCP wants to pursue its studies without worrying about transgressing church teachings.
I also understand why the Church doesn't want its name, and the pope's, on an institution whose teachings and research don't align with church doctrine. "Liberation theology" has been popular among leftist priests and professors in Latin America, but isn't an official church position.
This is one of those situations where there is right on both sides of an issue in dispute.
