This is a very strong  statement from from Sr. Nancy Marie Jamoz, C,S.S.F who is director of  Madonna University's Center for Catholic Studies and Interface Dialogue:

"We are sorry for this lost educational opportunity for Madonna students, and for the heavy blow it strikes to academic freedom and to Pope Francis’ vision for the Church,” 

I suspect that it took  courage on her part to make this statement  because clearly she does not agree with the decision which was made above her pay grade.   The  the unidentified  Church official who actually  pulled the plug on  the lecture has decided that those who were interested in hearing what Dr. Copeland had to say are not entitled to a  forthcoming   explanation.  The statement that is it was cancelled "due some messages in the media that misconstrued the contents of the lecture ........"  is dishonest and cowardly.
