The Vatican has effectively overruled the attempt by Cardinal Juan
Luis Cipriani, Archbishop of Lima, to forbid members of the theology
department in the Catholic University to continue to teach theology.
This is the effect of a letter sent by Cardinal Gerhard Müller,
prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith (CDF), to
Cardinal Cipriani.
According to a senior church source in Lima who has
seen the letter, it asks the cardinal to explain the reasons for his
decision, says that for the present the ban is suspended and that the
final decision on the matter will be taken by the CDF.
It also turns out that the Vatican decree removing the titles
"Catholic" and "Pontifical" from the university has not been put into
effect, partly because of reluctance in the Vatican's Congregation for
Catholic Education.
