The new leadership of the Harvard-Radcliffe Catholic Student Association was named Sunday at a delicate time for a Church coping with the resignation of Cardinal Bernard F. Law ’53.
Father Thomas E. Brennan, the Catholic chaplain of undergraduates, said Sunday that no Harvard students have openly voiced concerns about the resignation.
“None of the students have expressed any views publicly about this,” said Brennan, who is involved with the Catholic Student Association.
Some say that further changes—beyond the resignation—are needed to heal the Boston community and restore trust in the Catholic Church.
Professor of Romance Languages and Literature Lino Pertile agreed, saying that Law’s resignation does not alter the gravity of the crisis for the Catholic Church in Boston—and beyond.
