The Catholic University of America has dismissed one of its professors for bringing an abortion advocate to class to speak to students.
A Tuesday email from the school’s president, Peter Kilpatrick, obtained by CNA said that the school began an investigation last week after learning of reports of an abortion advocate being invited to a class. The president said the school also learned that a student had an audio recording of the class in question.
The Daily Signal, which obtained and released a copy of the recording last week, identified the psychology professor as Melissa Goldberg.
“Now that we have clear evidence that the content of the class did not align with our mission and identity, we have now terminated our contract with the professor who invited the speaker,” Kilpatrick wrote on Tuesday.
Goldberg’s faculty page was no longer available on the university website as of Tuesday afternoon.
“As a Catholic institution, we are committed to promoting the full truth of the human person and to protecting human life from conception to natural death. In our rigorous pursuit of truth and justice, we engage at times with arguments or ideologies contrary to reason or to the Gospel,” he wrote.
“But we do so fully confident in the clarity given by the combined lights of reason and faith, and we commit to never advocate for sin or to give moral equivalence to error,” Kilpatrick added.
“As witnessed by the life and virtue of St. Thomas Aquinas, whose feast we just celebrated as a community, such engagement with opposing ideas helps us both to grow in our command of truth and to respond to error with empathy, compassion, and mercy.”

THANK YOU JESUS!!!
Good! Grow a pair and stand up against the death cult for a change!
Now how long until the Pedobear President has them brought up on federal charges for dismissing the prof?
“Abortion doula?” How perverse and disgusting.
I’m impressed. If this happened at Notre Dame, they would probably have given her a promotion.
Why was Melissa Goldberg hired in the first place? So a Catholic school could show how liberal it can be?
I know that the formerly Catholic Notre Dame brags about 55% of its staff being Catholic - like the two Catholic pro abortion female professors.
If you want your child to have a Catholic education send him/her to a Catholic Catholic school - there are a few very good ones.
Update ping!
Good news!
Bringing in an “Abortion Ghoula” to propagandize a class at a Catholic university should be a firing offense. At CUA, it IS one ... it’s a bit appalling that this Goldberg creature thought she could get away with it. Excellent news that she didn’t.
Shalom.
Boom. Not a lukewarm response. Thank you Jesus indeed.
Thanks for the ping.
Good news.I
