Students question Catholic school's emphasis on Christmas
Campus Reform ^ | December 7, 2017 | Kyle Perisic

Students at a major Catholic university are upset at the school’s emphasis on Christmas, saying they wish other religious holidays would receive equal attention on campus.

At Loyola University Chicago, Muslim students told The Loyola Phoenix that they wish Muslim holidays would receive the same attention as Christian holidays, despite Muslims accounting for less than five percent of the student population.

This isn’t even a newsworthy story. Very few “Catholic universities” are actually Catholic.

You have summed up the situation perfectly.

Not much more to add beyond that.

I wonder if they were upset by that scene early in Taxi Driver in which Bickle’s boss at the cab company told him that Jewish observances were not automatic holidays, lol.

The American Catholic Church is just another failed institution...

Dear Ignorant Muzzies...It's a Catholic University.

If you don't like it....go somewhere else.....like in Iran.

You loathe Christmas? Really?

Do you go so far as to begrudge people who enjoy it their happiness? How far does your loathing go?

I took the President of a Catholic University to dinner as a payback for a appearance he made for my wife. Everything went fine until we got on to the subject of terrorism. After I lamented the killing of Christians, he quickly sympathized with the terrorists by saying “One man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter.”

I skipped desert and got the Hell away from him.

First question to students: why are you attending a Catholic school?

At the local Toys for Tots program, the Muslims seem to be OK in celebrating the Christmas season. Lots of free toys, you know!!!

This insanity makes me so mad I just want to scream to the heavens. Why are the little libs going to Loyola if they do not appreciate what the college has to offer. The big problem we all face with these snowflakes is that they destroy the places they inhabit and then migrate on to other religious and conservative locales to also destroy them.
