Catholic Faculty of Luzern Seeks Anyone but Catholics to Help Them Survive

[Kath.net/Luzern, Switzerland] The Catholic Theological Faculty of the University of Luzern is too small, to live along and in order to survive, it is on a search for a partner in education. In the first position on their wish list, however, there is no Catholic Faculty, rather the protestants of the University of Zurich, reported the Luzern Times "zisch".

Originally there was originally supposed to have been a cooperation with the Catholic Faculty of Freiburg. This was not to be though. The Luern Rector, Rudolf Stichweh says that problems of coordination and the mentalities of the different faculties are responsible. Freiburg is known as "conservative", Luzern on the other hand is "liberal", said the Rector.

Therelationship to the Protestant Faculty of the University of Zurich looks different, said Otfried Jaren Pro-Rector of the University of Zurich. "The differences between the Theological Faculties are not so great, although Luzern follows a Catholic and Zurch has a Protestant tradition."
