Wheaton College Dismisses Professor who Converts to Catholicism

In Sojo Mail, Sojourner's online newsletter, David Batstone comments on the news that Wheaton College has dismissed a professor who converted from Episcopalian to Catholicism. The professor said he would still be able to sign the faith statement required of faculty members, but was told that it wouldn't be possible for a Catholic to adhere to the faith statement since a Catholic believes that the Pope has authority equal to the scriptures.
