Will a free speech policy based on the first amendment weaken Marywoods catholic identity?
We don’t believe so. Protecting the free speech of individuals at Marywood will not affect Marywood’s ability to promote its institutional catholic identity. In fact, if the history of religious freedom has shown anything, it’s that the tenets of religion are most persuasive when they openly engage the wider culture. Marywood has nothing to fear from openness and tolerance.
