The Cardinal Newman Society (see their live feed on my sidebar) has a story about a horrible event at a catholic college in Wisconsin.
Parents, if you are thinking about paying lots of money for your children to go to college, you might cross St. Norbert’s in De Pere off your list.
Feminist Steinem Touts Abortion, Ridicules Church at St. Norbert College
Abortion advocacy, support for euthanasia and applause for excommunicated and “ordained” women priests—such were the highlights of last week’s “dialogue” with radical feminists Gloria Steinem and Bell Hooks on the Catholic campus of St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wis.
The event was held in the College’s campus theater on April 21, despite initial exposure by the Cardinal Newman Society last October, public protest by Bishop David Ricken of the Diocese of Green Bay in January, and assurances from the College that Steinem was invited only to headline a “discussion of the history of the women’s movement, especially as it may be understood in the context of domestic violence.”
Bishop Ricken lamented that Steinem’s “whole career and life is a grand affirmation of the pro-abortion movement.” And the Newman Society called on the College to rescind Steinem’s invitation, stating that its refusal to do so “adds insult to injury by disregarding Bishop Ricken.”
Nevertheless the College went forward, and the activists’ dialogue, titled “Talking Together: A Legacy of Solidarity,” predictably highlighted contempt for “patriarchal religions” and pushed support for abortion rights and euthanasia. A video of their dialogue indicates that Steinem and Hooks barely touched on the subject of domestic violence but focused instead on “reproductive rights” and societal ills caused by the patriarchy.
Thomas Kunkel, president of St. Norbert College, opened the event, welcoming the more than 800 participants who reportedly attended.
“As the face of the women’s movement… Gloria Steinem leaves us in awe,” said Dr. Karlyn Crowley, professor of English, as she introduced Steinem.[…]

Shame on St. Norbert’s. There should be consequences for them.
Perhaps Bishop Ricken should conduct a investigation of the Theology and Religious Studies department to determine whether or not they are Catholic.
They’re probably throwing more coals on the fires in Hell. They grossly underestimated the number of wicked that would be born in this last generation...
Yes, true. She’s 81; I thought she was dead. (The Lord’s giving her plenty of time to repent.)
Color that hair gray these days.
At her frigging age (80) Gloria Steinem has nothing feminine left. Time marches on & it sucks when it does.
She needs to take her radical politics to Cuba & retire with her soulmate Fidel Castro.
I’m 66 and I’m saying that.
For such a time as this http://www.patburt.com . . .
Shouldn’t the shirt say “I am an abortion.”
My daughter works in the office that took the calls from angry parents...there were many.
This is no Catholic campus. There may be Catholics on the property somewhere, but this is no Catholic college campus.
God is Justice. This campus may live to see His justice. They will likely be unhappy with his ruling.
Why do they always nose around at what churches do? Then they say to not politicize churches...
