The Archdiocese of Washington said Thursday that it will not extend benefits to same-sex married couples employed in Catholic schools -- a pre-emptive defiance of a bill expected to coast through the D.C. Council by the end of the year. "If this law is passed, we will have to break the law before we give up our religion," said archdiocese spokeswoman Susan Gibbs. A bill pending in the D.C. Council would allow same-sex marriages to be performed in the District. Currently, the District recognizes same-sex marriages performed in other jurisdictions. The church operates 21 schools in the District, attended by...

Billings Catholic Schools recently paid off a $400,000 debt to the Diocese in Great Falls owed since at least 2002, school system officials said Wednesday at the annual State of the Schools address. The debt was paid off near the end of the 2008-09 budget, allowing the school system to operate debt-free for the first time in nearly a decade and go into this school year looking at where the money usually reserved to pay off interest charges can be spent. "We can now start to strategically think, 'What's ahead of us?' " said Rita Turley, chairwoman of the Billings...

President Barack Obama has nominated a lesbian activist lawyer to serve as a member of the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission. In a recent White House announcement, President Obama nominated Chai Feldblum, a professor of law (gay studies) at Georgetown University who formerly worked for the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the pro-homosexual Human Rights Campaign Fund, to serve as one of five Commissioners on the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission.

The "National Equality March" on Sunday, October 11, in Washington, D.C., was sponsored by Equality Across America, which aims to build a national grassroots network asserting homosexual couples' "right to marry" as well as other demands.

Hundreds of students from Northeast Catholic, commonly called North Catholic, blew air horns and yelled outside the school last night in exuberant defiance of the archdiocesan decree to close the schools at the end of the school year.

An Edmonton teacher fired after telling a Catholic school board she was changing her gender to a man says the case fuels an unfair stereotype nationwide that Albertans are rednecks. "I do believe it may feed into the myth that Albertans are redneck," said Jan Buterman who this week launched an Alberta Human Rights Commission complaint about the firing from a public Catholic school board in St. Albert that came on her birthday last October. "I really don't think it's really what Alberta is," said Buterman. She's undergoing the process of becoming a man and had been a substitute teacher...

By 1939, more than 10,000 Catholic schools had been closed and the Catholic boys and girls sent to Nazi public schools for indoctrination. Catholics are constantly confronted with the claims that Pope Pius XII was complicit in the Holocaust, that vast numbers of Catholics collaborated with Hitler's diabolical regime, and that Catholic priests, nuns, and bishops were ardent members of the Nazi Party and supporters of its policies. It is true that many Catholics turned a blind eye to the Holocaust, and others remained silent out of fear for their lives and the safety of their families. There were certainly...

The cult of enviornmentalism is being preached at St. Mary’s Resurrection Elementary School in New Jersey. In this Fox Report below, you’ll see Catholic school children start their day by pledging “allegiance to the earth and all Her sacred hearts”, an allusion to the Sacred Heart of Mary and Jesus. You’ll also hear them sing their song, “Whose the greatest mom of all? Earth Mama!” It’s hard to believe that a Catholic teaches children to replace Mother Mary with Mother Earth as the “greatest mom of all”, because actually, Catholic educators, Mary isn’t just the greatest mom of all, she’s...

SOUTH BEND, Indiana, September 4, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The president of a pro-life public interest law firm has issued an open letter to University of Notre Dame president Rev. John Jenkins, insisting that the school seek to drop the charges against 88 pro-lifers who await sentencing of up to one year in jail and a $5,000 fine for protesting the school's honoring pro-abortion President Obama last May.

Catholics Teach the Children of New Orleans Since the Katrina disaster, the schools of the Archdiocese of New Orleans have swelled to double the enrollment of the local public schools -- 40,000 to 20,000. Rev. Neal McDermott, O.P., superintendent of the Catholic schools, told me yesterday that the archdiocese is facing a financial crunch when the $10 million in Catholic Charities money, allocated in 2006 to help the schools following the hurricane, runs out. "Beginning in June 2010, we will have to find $700,000 a year to replace those funds," he said. (Gov. Bobby Jindal eased some of the financial...

When President Obama gave his economics speech at Georgetown University on Tuesday, several folks noticed something was missing. That "something" was an ancient monogram -- the letters IHS -- that symbolizes the name of Jesus. It was missing from a wooden archway above the dais in Gaston Hall where the president delivered his 45-minute speech. The gold-lettered monogram appeared near a painting of three female figures -- symbolizing morality, faith and patriotism -- and decorative edging along the wall that spelled out the Jesuit motto "Ad majorem Dei gloriam"—"To the greater glory of God." Georgetown was founded by the Jesuits....

The Paterson Diocese is facing a financial crisis after years of subsidizing struggling parishes, schools and charitable programs, church officials said Wednesday. The diocese said it has accumulated $37 million in debt, and is deciding how to downsize its vast network of urban and suburban ministries that serves 378,000 Catholics in Passaic, Morris and Sussex counties. "Like any family, we cannot afford to live beyond our means," the Rev. James Mahoney, the vicar general, and second-ranking cleric in the diocese, said in a statement. "In the past, the diocese functioned as a safety net for parishes, schools and agencies that...

Radical activist Randall Terry brings his controversial pro-life 'battle' tactics to Notre Dame campus This long-time pro-life activist is no stranger to controversy. His life - as an evangelical Christian, later a converted Catholic, once a Republican political candidate and foremost a warrior in the fight against abortion - has been filled with similar appalling actions. Terry likes to boast that he's been arrested 40 times, spent a year of his life in jail and had cases before the U.S. Supreme Court. He even states that he has created "the largest civil disobedience movement in America." Now, he's come to...

"So do you think this is the photo Nancy Pelosi taped her head over to prove she saw the Pope?" my wife kidded me about this article's picture of Pope Benedict XVI and Mary Ann Glendon, former U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican and current Harvard law professor, not to mention this year's recipient of the University of Notre Dame's Laetare Medal, ND's highest award for Catholics. While her picture with the Pope is proof that Professor Glendon, dubbed "the pro-life feminist" by the secular press, was, unlike Pelosi (whom His Holiness resolutely refused to grant even the briefest photo-op...

It will grant an honorary degree to broadcast journalist Chris Matthews at the university’s 2009 commencement ceremonies. Despite Mr. Matthew’s Catholic education, having graduated from the College of the Holy Cross, he is widely regarded as a strong supporter of abortion rights, and was unabashed in his admiration of Mr. Obama’s positions.

South Bend, IN (LifeNews.com) -- Adding insult to injury, the University of Notre Dame announced today the appointment of a new law school dean who made donations to pro-abortion candidates, including President Barack Obama. The Catholic college is already under intense criticism for inviting Obama to give its commencement speech.

Many American Catholics, including alumni and students of the University of Notre Dame, are expressing anger and profound disappointment at the school's decision to invite President Obama--who supports abortion on demand and legalized same-sex unions--to be the school's commencement speaker and to award him an honorary doctoral degree in law. Tens of thousands already have signed a petition aimed at persuading the president of Notre Dame to rescind the school's offer to Obama.

SOUTH BEND — President Barack Obama will deliver the commencement address May 17 at the University of Notre Dame. Obama will be the principal speaker and the recipient of an honorary doctor of laws degree at the university's 164th commencement ceremony, which will be in the Joyce Center, Notre Dame officials announced Friday.

Notre Dame invited President Barack Obama to do their commencement speech on May 17 -- and if they don't take it back, one pro-life leader says he's going to raise the masses in protest. Since his first week in office, Obama has made a string of executive orders, appointments and policy decisions that contradict Catholic teaching of the sanctity of life, said Joe Scheidler, national director of the Pro-Life Action League, in a press release on Christian Newswire. He's "the most pro-abortion president in U.S. history," according to Scheidler, who notes Obama's decision to dedicate federal funds to harvest embryonic...

Loyal to Liberty "Do you reject the glamour of evil, and refuse to be mastered by sin? (From the Roman Catholic Rite of Baptism) Apparently the Catholic folks at Notre Dame University have no more respect for the Baptismal vows they renew every Easter than their invited Commencement Speaker this year has for the Presidential Oath of Office. At this moment in time, Barack Obama is the living incarnation of the glamour of evil. His smiley tones and non-threatening manner mask a studied commitment to the promotion of the most deadly form of evil in the world today- the cult...

A ‘gay-friendly’ play scheduled over the weekend at Most Holy Redeemer parish but cancelled by Archbishop George Niederauer was performed anyway at a different location – Presentation Theater at the Jesuit-run University of San Francisco. On March 5, in an email to California Catholic Daily, archdiocesan spokesman Maurice Healy said the play, “Be Still and Know,” would not be performed at Most Holy Redeemer. “The parish has cancelled the play at the request of Archbishop George H. Niederauer,” Healy said. “Bishop William Justice, vicar for clergy, communicated this to the parish.”

New legally-binding code of conduct for teachers The code is accused of undermining the religious ethos of Christian schools by promoting secular morality and will discriminate against devout staff and drive them out of the classroom, the Roman Catholic church has warned. As The Daily Telegraph disclosed last month, the General Teaching Council – the profession's regulator – has published a draft code of conduct that all teachers will have to sign. It will be used by the GTC in assessing misconduct cases, but also by school governors and local authorities in recruitment and discipline. Principle 4 of the draft...

Some Boston College professors and students are raising a holy ruckus over the Catholic school’s return to its religious roots by hanging crucifixes in all its classrooms, calling the move “offensive” and a break from the Jesuit tradition of tolerance. “There is no choice if you don’t think it’s appropriate. You can’t turn it around,” said biology professor Dan Kirschner, faculty adviser for BC’s chapter of Hillel, a Jewish student group. “I think it is being insensitive to the people of other faith traditions here.” [Snip] In an interview with the college newspaper, The Observer, which broke the story,...

Students and faculty returned to Boston College (BC), a Jesuit Catholic institution, for the Spring 2009 semester to find that crucifixes and icons had been placed in many classrooms that had been long bereft of sacred art. This move, which helps strengthen the university’s Catholic identity, came by direct request of President Rev. William P. Leahy, S.J., according to a campus newspaper editor. “Bravo for Boston College!” said Patrick J. Reilly, President of The Cardinal Newman Society. “For Catholics, outward signs, symbols and practices of our faith are an important part of relating to God in a material world.” Over...

An unidentified blogger on the web site of the left-leaning San Francisco Bay Area Independent Media Center has rebuked the pro-homosexual movement in the city for failing to show up at a counter-demonstration to the 5th annual Walk for Life West Coast on Sunday, where an estimated 30,000 people peacefully marched in opposition to abortion. Walk for Life opponents had earlier called participants in the annual event “anti-abortion and anti-gay marriage terrorists,” and sought to organize a counter-demonstration of “hundreds of thousands of pro-abortion and pro-gay marriage people.” Instead, said the blogger, “We had perhaps 100 people at our pro-abortion...

Aims to explore "spiritual transformation" needed to replace "deadly" economic systems Xavier University in Cincinnati will provide a venue for the EarthSpirit Rising 2009 conference next June. An aim of the conference is to “explore the cultural and spiritual transformation needed” to replace current “outdated” and “deadly” economic systems. David Korten, the principal “planetary” speaker, is a “visionary proponent of a planetary system of local living economies.” Korten’s website is replete with ecological alarmist and anti-establishment rhetoric. On the site Korten says that the key to putting us on the right course is to “displace the prevailing” prosperity and security...

(English-language translation) Several reasons, among these the economic situation and the aging population in some residential areas, forced the Catholic Church to restructure the network of schools that belong to the Archdiocese [of San Juan], eliminating six of the existing fifteen, Archbishop Roberto González Nieves reported today. [The affected schools are] Colegio Nuestra Señora de Altagracia, Academia Cristo Rey, Colegio La Milagrosa, and Colegio San Luis Rey in Río Piedras; Colegio Madre Cabrini in San Juan; and Colegio Sagrada Familia in Bayamón. They will cease operations once the school year ends. Some 1,337 students will be affected. González admitted this...

[snip] Low enrollment put Cardinal Maida Academy on the brink of closure in 2005, but this year the number of students is up by a third from last year, according to the Catholic Diocese of Greensburg. That success is due in part to non-Catholic students. Though 87 percent of students enrolled at area Catholic schools are Catholic, about 30 percent of Cardinal Maida's students are not. The diocese saw Catholic school enrollment go down about 6 percent this year, a number diocesan spokesman Jerry Zufelt said is consistent with a declining population of school-age children. Still, Zufelt said, a handful...

A groundbreaking survey of Catholic college students published by The Cardinal Newman Society’s (CNS) Center for the Study of Catholic Higher Education finds that most students on Catholic campuses reject key Catholic moral values and tenets of the faith, and significant numbers engage in pre-marital sexuality activity and the viewing of pornography. The study was released in the wake of Tuesday’s presidential election, just as many commentators are looking for reasons why the Catholic vote broke the way it did in such large numbers for a pro-abortion candidate. It is the only known nationally representative survey of students at Catholic...

Unlike most Roman Catholic schools in the New York area, which embrace students regardless of their religion, Chaminade High School here requires a baptismal certificate to register. “No exception,” said the Rev.
