They’re doing the same thing at Creighton.
Is it still considered a Catholic university and if so, why?
When it the Catholic church going to take a stand on these moral issues and actually either make the university fall in line with official Catholic teaching, or completely sever all ties with it?
Just pointing out here that these are American Roman Catholics, which many Non-US Roman Catholics and most non-Roman Catholics don’t consider to actually BE Catholic.
If you offer benefits to legally married couples, you have to offer benefits to legally married couples.
Any HR goon can tell you that.
the Pope will soon speak to this blasphame. There is shame on Notre Dame!!! Bad shame!!
Perhaps the Archbishop should simply FIRE the ND administration and replace them with Catholics?
You thought they were calling it a Catholic university.
In fact, they were calling it “Cath-o-like”.
They honor the parts of Catholicism they like, and ignore the parts they don’t like.
you're a Catholic who doesn't follow Catholic teachings, who are you to question their motives???
The Fighting Irish now speak Gay-lick.
And when the Nazis tell you it is illegal to patronize the Jewish shops you obey the law.
Imagine that. Cultists behaving like cultists.
You mean is the Catholic church going to hold unchanging Scripture as supreme, as the wholly inspired and accurate word of God? Otherwise obedience is to be according to how the leadership interprets itself.
..Jenkins confirmed that this isn't a question of law but a one of policy. "Apart from any legal obligation," he said, "we recognize an urgent call to welcome, support and cherish our gay and lesbian brothers and sisters." After referring to past injustices to homosexuals, he declared, "Our abiding goal…is to build a less imperfect community of love."
Lol!
The church will not take a stand as long as it is run by the proggs. And I don’t think that day is coming any time soon.
That made no sense whatsoever.
We have this nonsense at the Naval Academy but you would never know it. I don’t even think we have any gays on the faculty much less the staff. It is available but nobody discusses it. I kinda like it that way. Seriously though, nobody is gay at the Naval Academy (at least faculty and staff). Great place to live!!!!!
I'm sorry you didn't understand my point. My point was that we do not have any moral obligation to obey the law simply because it is the law.
I urge all my fellow citizens to disobey immoral laws so long as they can do so without suffering serious repercussions.
We need to be as disobedient, defiant, and resistive of these evil people as we can.
Good point. One solution is to end "spousal benefits" to couples, period. But it would take integrity and principle to do that, and we know those are foreign concepts to Indiana's biggest combination bath house-and-abortion mill.
