Vatican strips Peru university of 'Catholic' title

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-18939177


The Vatican says the Peruvian university has drifted from its Catholic roots

The Vatican has stripped one of Latin America's top universities of the right to call itself Catholic or Pontifical.

It says the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru has damaged the interests of the church.

The Vatican has been locked in a decades-long struggle with the institution, which it accuses of drifting from its Catholic origins.

The university in the Peruvian capital Lima has long been identified with liberal, progressive thinking.
