The presidency of Barack Obama has energized this debate. And that’s a good thing. Too many so-called Christian institutions and even churches have traded their mission on earth for a few government dollars—or more than a few—in order to carry out the commands of Matthew 25. A Faustian bargain.
“The debate about the Catholic identity of Catholic institutions of higher education has been underway for decades, and may well take some interesting turns in the years ahead. At the moment, however, the hottest of hot buttons on this front involve health-care institutions that call themselves “Catholic” but which have acquiesced to practices approved by an increasingly aggressive secular culture—and to the lure of government dollars.”
