A faithful Catholic college serves the needs of its students by requiring the mandatum as a condition of employment for theology professors and openly disclosing which theology professors have the mandatum.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">See also: <a href=\"http:\/\/newmansociety.org\/educator-resources\/resources\/academics\/academic-freedom\/\">Academic Freedom<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n<div  class='hr av-k5780c02-e54be5e2ccce7a2924ff170035d0f015 hr-short  avia-builder-el-3  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock  hr-center'><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-k576shjh-fa8740988399d963a3859742089284df '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h1 style=\"text-align: center;\">RESOURCES<\/h1>\n<\/div><\/section>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-2n3grf-a7e388cab7c2a25bed847a58cb0ad429\">\n.flex_column.av-2n3grf-a7e388cab7c2a25bed847a58cb0ad429{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-2n3grf-a7e388cab7c2a25bed847a58cb0ad429 av_one_full  avia-builder-el-5  el_after_av_textblock  avia-builder-el-last  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-k5zkvf41-f5426fbdc4842fac6169d9197a64b197 '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h4 style=\"text-align: left;\">Research and Analysis<\/h4>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-k61b0yeh-b95040c045c87834b04175c3615c7547\">\n#top .hr.hr-invisible.av-k61b0yeh-b95040c045c87834b04175c3615c7547{\nheight:5px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='hr av-k61b0yeh-b95040c045c87834b04175c3615c7547 hr-invisible  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_magazine '><span class='hr-inner '><span class=\"hr-inner-style\"><\/span><\/span><\/div><br \/>\n<div  id=\"avia-magazine-1\"  class='av-magazine av-k615snn7-a1dd7096263330fac6d577e1ce8b65c0  avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last   avia-builder-el-8  el_after_av_hr  avia-builder-el-last ' ><div class='av-magazine-group sort_all'><article class='av-magazine-entry av-magazine-entry-id-1793 av-magazine-format-standard av-magazine-type-post av-magazine-entry-1 av-magazine-entry-small av-magazine-no-thumb'  itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class=\"av-magazine-content-wrap\"><header class=\"entry-content-header\" aria-label=\"Post: A Mandate for Fidelity: Pope Benedict Urges Compliance with Theologian&#039;s Mandatum\"><time class='av-magazine-time updated'  itemprop=\"datePublished\" datetime=\"2012-07-23T19:40:00-04:00\" >July 23, 2012<\/time><h3 class='av-magazine-title entry-title '  itemprop=\"headline\" ><a href='https:\/\/cardinalnewmansociety.org\/mandate-fidelity-pope-benedict-urges-compliance-theologians-mandatum\/' title='Link to: A Mandate for Fidelity: Pope Benedict Urges Compliance with Theologian&#8217;s Mandatum'>A Mandate for Fidelity: Pope Benedict Urges Compliance with Theologian&#8217;s Mandatum<\/a><\/h3><\/header><\/div><footer class=\"entry-footer\"><\/footer><\/article><\/div><\/div><\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":76,"featured_media":1923,"parent":208,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"coauthors":[438],"class_list":["post-1286","page","type-page","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.7 -
