Seeking to establish a pedagogy that was friendly to learning spirituality, Matthew Fox established an Institute in Culture and Creation Spirituality that operated for seven years at Mundelein College in Chicago and twelve years at Holy Names College in Oakland. For ten of those years at Holy Names College Cardinal Ratzinger, as chief Inquisitor and head of the Congregation of Doctrine and Faith (called the Office of the Holy Inquisition until 1965), tried to shut the program down. Ratzinger silenced Fox for one year in 1988 and forced him to step down as director. Three years later he expelled Fox from the Order and then had the program terminated at Holy Names College. Rather than disband his amazing and ecumenical faculty, Fox started his own University in 1996 called University of Creation Spirituality in downtown Oakland, California. Fox was President and a member of the Board of Directors for nine years. He is currently lecturing, teaching and writing and is President of the non-profit that he created in 1984, Friends of Creation Spirituality. Now that Matthew Fox has stepped out of academic administration he is more available for lectures, workshops and teaching. He calls himself a "professor at large" and in the last year he has taught at the following institutions: Stanford University, University of Oklahoma, Institute of Transpersonal Psychology, Unity Institute in Kansas City and Wisdom University.
