The dispute began in the mid-1960s when Curran's dissent from official Church teaching on sexual ethics, including contraception, divorce and homosexuality, brought him into direct conflict with the university's board of trustees and, ultimately, with the Vatican's Sacred Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, then headed by Joseph Cardinal Ratzinger. Witham traces the full arc of the controversy through biography, institutional history, theology and courtroom drama. The narrative covers the 1967 faculty strike that temporarily shut down the university after Curran's initial dismissal, the two decades of correspondence and negotiation between Curran and the Vatican, the 1986 declaration that Curran was no longer eligible to teach Catholic theology, and the subsequent civil lawsuit in which Curran challenged the university's right to remove him from his tenured position - a case he lost in 1989. Throughout, the book examines the deeper questions the affair exposed: the relationship between the magisterium and the individual theologian, the meaning of tenure at a pontifical university, and the unresolved tension between institutional autonomy and ecclesiastical oversight that continues to shape Catholic education in the United States. Published shortly after the court's ruling, the book captures the controversy while its implications were still unfolding. It remains a valuable primary resource for anyone studying academic freedom, Church-State relations in education, or the internal politics of American Catholicism in the late twentieth century. …
