Mandatum Cover-Up? — Part II: Georgetown - Tim DrakeThe National Catholic Register is conducting an ongoing investigation of Catholic colleges and universities featured in U.S. News and World Report's college guide. Here we ask the question: Are parents allowed to know whether those who teach theology intend to teach in communion with the Church?
