Marymount Manhattan College, founded in 1936 by the Sisters of the Sacred Heart of Mary, is now officially no longer Catholic. Unofficially, the institution hasn’t been Catholic for years. On its website, it never so much as claims to be Catholic. (The closest it comes is in the student handbook (PDF), where it acknowledges that the cross depicted on its seal is some kind of “emblem of the Catholic faith.”) The Body of Christ is a ponderous body, and is often slow to react.
