Under federal law, a 1974 judgement accepted expert opinion that an "Honorary Doctor of Divinity is a strictly religious title with no academic standing. Such titles may be issued by bona fide churches and religious denominations so long as their issuance is limited to a course of instruction in the principles of the church or religious denomination".
