Should religious organizations have the authority to tell religious-oriented colleges what kind of student internships they can offer?
This question has become the center of debate after The Cardinal Newman Society recently declared that nine Catholic colleges and universities wrongfully offer students credit for internships at organizations whose missions contradict the views of the Catholic church.
The Cardinal Newman Society – a self-appointed organization dedicated to maintaining Catholic identity in Catholic colleges and universities – argues that these institutions offer internship opportunities at pro-choice organizations, which is against the Catholic mindset.
