“What is our children learning?”

My childrens too.

I’d like to see her next speaking location be Duke University…you know, that school that was formerly Trinity College and was endowed by the Duke family in 1903 with the following aims:

The aims of Duke University are to assert a faith in the eternal union of knowledge and religion set forth in the teachings and character of Jesus Christ, the Son of God; to advance learning in all lines of truth; to defend scholarship against all false notions and ideals; to develop a Christian love of freedom and truth; to promote a sincere spirit of tolerance; to discourage all partisan and sectarian strife; and to render the largest permanent service to the individual, the state, the nation, and the church. Unto these ends shall the affairs of this University always be administered.

Do you think the current Duke administration would invite her to speak? Not likely. In less than 100 years (from 1903 to 2001), the leadership of this great university changed from putting Jesus Christ first to putting “liberal education” first. For more explanation of that statement, see this post about the current state of the Duke Lacrosse lawsuit.

You’d think that after that fiasco, the Duke administration might have learned something. But no, it gets worse…

Now it is Duke University itself, not the Lacrosse team, paying strippers to perform on campus. I kid you not. This is exactly what happens when colleges and universities that were founded to honor Jesus Christ are allowed to go from putting Jesus Christ first to putting “liberal education” first.

Until this was made public, I bet the head folks at the College didn’t even know about it. “Administrators” often make decisions in their purview with no outside oversite… and if those decisions go unchallenged, there would be no reason for their superiors to even get involved…

One main benefit of the internet… many more eyes are now on situations that in the past, would have gone unnoticed.

There is so much going on in the US catholic church that doesn’t jibe with the positions coming out of the Vatican. American cardinals act like they don’t have to answer to anyone, not even God.

The problem is not isolated to the U.S. but pandemic.

Actually, Roman Catholic churches in the U.S. are unique in that they are more traditional than in other parts of the world.

In one of my visits to Brazil, I attended a Catholic baptism where the priest mentioned that Catholics should not critisize Candomblé which is a Brazilian witchcraft.

Star Parker, a syndicated, conservative columnist active in the pro-life movement, will be invited to speak, after all, on the Catholic campus of St. Thomas University in the Twin Cities….

I suspect Benedict may have more info on Dease than Dease may understand. One little sop to gain favor may not be enough.

The internet ROCKS.

When will people realize that they simply cannot get away with this sort of stunt any more?

Right on. What you do in the dark shows up on the web. The secretive acts of CINOs are being exposed.
Go Benedict. Go Star. Don’t hold back.

When will people realize that they simply cannot get away with this sort of stunt any more?

It doesn’t seem to be sinking in, huh? Like a guy robbing a 7-11 thinking there’s no cameras.

Good point, I guess hafta act all Catholically when the bossman is in town.

When will people realize that they simply cannot get away with this sort of stunt any more? I keep saying that and it ought to be obvious, but sheesh. It keeps happening.

I wonder if the Pope will have anything to say to the Archbishop of Chicago about the Rev. Michael L. Pfleger, Pastor of St. Sabina’s church.

Gotta wonder if the Pope knows anything about phlemmer. Benedict wrote a very academic paper on liberation theology that came across like a doctor examining an infection. There is so much going on in the US catholic church that doesn’t jibe with the positions coming out of the Vatican. American cardinals act like they don’t have to answer to anyone, not even God.
