Many are recognizably Catholic in that they have the reputation for being so, largely due to their age. Moreover, they advertise their Catholicism on their websites but when you go to their catalogs, you find material well beyond St. Augustine and Thomas Aquinas.
The young staffers at the Young America's Foundation did just that and offer a neat little guide to several of these universities. For example, at Georgetown you can take courses in:
• Labor/Sexuality/Globalization;
• Athletics and Gender;
• Culture/Politics/HIV;
• Gender and Sustainability; and
• The Bible and Horror.
Providence College, meanwhile, has a Women's Studies department that is easily competitive with its secular counterparts, offering courses in:
• The Power of Whiteness;
• Gender and Politics; and
• Globalization and Social Justice.
Nevertheless, the prize for testing the boundaries of the faith may go to Seton Hall University, with its course on The Politics of Marriage. "This course focuses upon gay marriage as a contemporary political idea, part of an important public policy debate," the catalog promises. "Gay marriage is bound to a larger historical, religious and cultural narrative."
"The course focuses upon the European and American experience. Other nonwestern and indigenous traditions are introduced to assist in examining the diversity and complexity of the topic. Complementary ideas are introduced and evaluated, most notably social construction and essentialism. This endeavor requires careful attention as many important voices here (women and queer individuals in particular) are historically marginalized."
It makes Xavier University’s course on Religion and Hip Hop look absolutely pious by comparison.
The curriculum and content is mostly anti-Catholic and anti-Christian.
Need a link
You forgot racist, anti-male and anti-American
You should check out the website and curriculum of the “Catholic” University of San Francisco. They have a gay ex-Jesuit priest teaching “gay parenting.”
The problem is not the students but the management of the college and who is hiring whom.
I know of one Catholic college where the students are very conservative and the board that hires and fires wants to bring in big name professors from big name schools irregardless of how closely they align themselves with Catholic teaching.
That is a huge problem and the beginning of the demise.
& it doesn’t dawn on these geniuses that they are losing students to newer, more traditional Catholic colleges
it wouldn’t let me post one without an http. We’re https. But it is on the home page at www.academia.org
Why, they’re as Catholic as the Pope!
If they do know what a rosary is, they think it’s silly
It’s been a problem for decades
My cousins, aunts, friends the girls, primarily, they go to these schools emerging as Catholic-loathing liberals
They create heresy. Of course the enemy is going to use a catholic institutiin to do that.
One view, one that makes sense to me, is a spiritual one. The enemy takes a good institution and desecrates it. Many souls can be gained in that way, catholics who can tell others they are catholic but find many of the practices stupid or harmful - that’ad other ways and means of casing dissent
Catholicism is not a democracy. You can’t just say, ‘oh the pope needs to change on that’. He can’t, which is why there is no way this pope can destroy the Church
But Catholicism is not a dictatorship. It has rules but they are to help us live life according to our Creator who advises us for our happiness and for us to end up in heaven
People who are baptized Catholic are judged as such they can choose to not go along with the Church and take their chances that they can get in at the last minute going along with their prideful theory they pick up in these institutions that guide, in the name of Catholicism, their students into such heretical thinking. Catholicism teaches Gods truth, the most basic one, that people have free will.
The heresy taught in these schools is that our free will is greater than God.
This thinking is then spread by people calling themselves catholic
Here is the typical catholic’s guided thinking.- “my friend is very catholic. She went to catholic school for twenty years she says Catholics don’t have to worry about birth control being evil. Extramarital sex is not adultsry, here’s why”
Little gods running around
That’s the intent of these schools
That against, my atheist friend says marriage is unnecessary. He is not heard in the same way
The rosary is treated in the same way, but particularly hated as a weapon against the invader
With a few, non-Federal funded schools like Grove City and Hillsdale, pretty much all schools, colleges, universities, and seminaries are merely local extensions of one institution:
The Frankfurt School.
The infiltration is thorough and complete.
Progressivism is just another disingenuous euphemism for COMMUNISM.
Heresy and apostasy is now normal and preferred by those who run these abominations.
Correction: With a few exceptions,...
“John Paul had a huge problem with this kind of teaching”
That fool Francis on the other hand....
Every Catholic I know is secular as can be. The only time I know they’re Catholic is on Ash Wednesday, fish Friday during Lent, and when they constantly take God’s name in vain.
Mostly pretend Catholic, unless run by Jesuits. If Jesuit, then anti-Catholic.
Are you hitting on ALL Catholics?
If you are, your statement is in error.
I went to a Jesuit university and can’t believe we have a Jesuit pope.
‘They have a gay ex-Jesuit priest’
are there any other kinds of Jesuits...?
‘The only time I know they’re Catholic is on Ash Wednesday, fish Friday during Lent’
and you recognize Protestants how...?
