On 3rd December 2015, we lamented the fact that Professor Tina Beattie was one of several dissenting speakers who had taken part, one month earlier at Ushaw College, in the Tablet - 175th Anniversary Conference: The Spirit of Catholic Renewal: Signs, Sources and Calling.
At the time, we noted that Professor Beattie would be familiar to English readers, due to her notorious dissent from the Magisterium over the issue of same-sex ''marriage''.
Worse than that, she has publicly spoken of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass in sacrilegious and offensive terms as a metaphysical consummation of homosexual love.
This is sheer blasphemy.
Beattie is also notorious in the UK for her public dissent from the Magisterium over contraception.
When the Catholic Truth Society (CTS) issued a booklet defending traditional Catholic teaching on contraception and divorce, Beattie harshly described it as, ''a perverted publication, written by and for people with a perverted understanding of the meaning and reality of sexual love in all of its joys, struggles and ambiguities.''
In Vol 4, No 1, of the International Journal of Public Theology in 2010, Prof Beattie even went so far as to call for a ''more nuanced approach'' to the issue of early abortion.
Beattie has also spoken out in support of that other theological impossibility - women priests.
Although Prof Beattie was publicly censured by the CDF in 2012 for supporting homosexual ''marriage'' in a letter to the Times, and has thus been prevented from speaking at some Catholic venues, she remarkably remains to this day as a member of Cafod's Theological Reference Group. In 2013, she was included in a list of speakers for the Year of Faith at a parish in Westminster Diocese. Most disgracefully, Prof Beattie is also employed by the Catholic Church in this country to teach seminarians!Â
Prof Beattie's views are frequently expressed through her columns in the leftist Guardian and in the modernistic Tablet; a dissenting ''Catholic'' publication which, in spite of the frequent complaints of many of the Catholic faithful, sadly remains on sale in the porches of far too many cathedrals and churches across the UK.
Prof Beattie is also the Professor of Catholic Studies at the University of Roehampton in London and Director of the Digby Stuart Research Centre for Religion, Society and Human Flourishing.
The Catholic Herald has reported that Prof Beattie has now added to her public enormities by appending her signature to a letter to the Polish Bishops opposing their efforts to ban abortion. Indeed, this letter supports the fallacy of ''early, safe and legal'' abortion.
For the good of her immortal soul, and of all who observe this ongoing grave public scandal to the Catholic Faith and to the faithful, Prof Beattie should be forbidden by the Hierarchy from receiving Holy Communion, and prevented from teaching in any Catholic establishment, until she has publicly repented of her dissent and her shocking promotion of the prenatal murder of babies.
That is not our personal opinion - it is Catholic Truth.
