Abstract

The Nature and Constitution of Sacred Theology.

Theology and Academic Freedom.

Modern rationalistic theology demands that the official teachers of the Church, both in the pulpit and in the lecture chair, should be invested with full academic freedom. That is to say, they should be allowed to assert their subjective opinions without any restrictions whatsoever; oven Holy Scripture must not be forced upon them as the only source and standard of the faith which they are to inculcate.
