Jesuits of Fordham Stand Strong Against ... Chick-fil-A?
The Remnant ^ | 5/10/17 | Michael Matt

Posted on 05/11/2017 6:33:27 PM PDT by marshmallow

The campus of the Jesuit-run Fordham University is at peace this week after having undergone a terrible ordeal last week that could have resulted in the establishment of a dangerous and subversive group being set up in the heart of one of America’s most venerable Catholic universities.

Here’s how it went down.

A Chick-fil-A restaurant was planning to set up shop at Fordham’s New York City campus. Can you believe it? And the fast-food chicken giant would have succeeded had it not been for Fordham’s rainbow-sashed crusaders who managed to step in at the last minute and save the day.

As The Fordham Observer reports, thanks to the courage of the LGBTQ lobby (who didn’t allow fear of a fast-food restaurant stop them from standing up for peace, justice and the American way), other groups on campus soon discovered the will to fight. Everyone from the Commuter Students Association to the United Student Government leapt into action—led, of course, by the fearless campus’ Rainbow Alliance—to keep the pro-Christian marriage Chick-fil-A far away from Fordham. After all, there are young and impressionable kids on that campus!

We can laugh about it now, of course, but for a while there it looked like a pro-marriage chicken sandwich seller was about to gain a foothold at one of our premier Catholic universities. Thank God, the Rainbow Alliance at Fordham found a way to alert the Jesuit brass to the fact that, back in 2012, Chick-fil-A president Dan Cathy had had the audacity to tell a Baptist newspaper that he believed in the biblical definition of marriage. The horror! Once that message went viral on campus, it was easy for the Jesuits to understand the urgency of the situation, and to do the right thing. “Get thee behind me, Chick-fil-A!” The Jesuits at Fordham.....

Since when does an immoral, self-serving group of homosexuals that comprise less than 2 percent of the population determine and undermine freedom and liberty for the rest of the population?

For many years the only Chick-fil-A in all of Washington DC was in the student dining hall at The Catholic University of America.
Don’t tell the Pope!

These 2 percenters were smart, crafty and determined enough to storm the media and advertising executive suites, knowing full well how gullible the masses are, and they propagandized their way.

We are now witnessing the results of their work over the past few decades.

At least since liberals and the entertainment industry decided to make their concerted effort to shove homosexuality down our throats.

Pope Clement XIV had the right idea about the Jesuits... He disbanded them!

He wasn’t the first. Jesuit seminaries aren’t known as Pink Palaces for nothing.

Of course! It's a much better value for the dollar than Fordham. The former has nutritional value, the latter provides nothing but empty intellectual calories.

Twinkies of scholasticism.

"I do not like the reappearance of the Jesuits....
Shall we not have regular swarms of them here, in as many disguises as only a king
of the gipsies can assume, dressed as printers, publishers, writers and schoolmasters?
If ever there was a body of men who merited damnation on earth and in Hell,
it is this society of Loyola’s.
Nevertheless, we are compelled by our system of religious toleration
to offer them an asylum."

--John Adams to Thomas Jefferson; May, 1816
