Catholic Schools Invite Heresy

Catholic high school graduates hoping to continue their education in institutions of higher learning affiliated with the Mother Church might be surprised by what they find. “University of Detroit Mercy, a Catholic college, is coming under criticism for hosting pro-abortion censured theologian Daniel Maguire, who delivered a lecture at the Jesuit University on April 7,” Steve Ertelt reported on lifenews.com April 13, 2011. “The title of his lecture was ‘The Gender Justice Revolution: How Feminism Builds Bridges Between Genders, Races, Sexual Orientations, Classes and Nations,’ and it’s not a surprising one given his position in favor of abortion.”

The Cardinal Newman Society (CNS) pointed out in March 2007 that when the bishops censured Marquette theologian Maguire, they noted that his teachings “cross the legitimate lines of theological reflection and simply enter into the area of false teaching.”

“Nice guy, smart but has some extreme views, he does not push his views on you and does welcome disagreement, gives you exam questions in advance so only homework is reading and formulating answers for questions, no daily homework,” one reviewer wrote of Maguire on ratemyprofessors.com. Marquette president Robert Wild, S. J., in responding to concerns laid out by CNS, admitted that Maguire’s teachings are “not totally consonant with Catholic teaching.”

Meanwhile, another rating on that site gave an indication of just how over-the-top Maquire’s lectures can get. “Maguire is a theologian and therefore he is qualified to teach theology,” a dissident reviewer wrote. “Unfortunately, religion takes a backseat to his socialist ranting which—I must admit—can be entertaining.”

“As the semester progresses it becomes clear that Maguire is a little too pleased with himself. This becomes sickly when he lampoons Mother Teresa and the Catholic Church.”

The Catholic Church is the leading sponsor of it’s own demise.

They are letting priests like the one at Notre Dame and Georgetown and other to stray too far from Catholic precepts.

They allowed edophile Priests to be hidden for far too long.

The Catholic Church is th oldest Christian denomination and it’s rules for prelates are simple. They should enforce them or close up shop.

[Antoninus]

Sadly, these institutions have been infiltrated by lay people and prelates who are not Catholic in any meaningful sense. A major reform is long over due.

Dear Lord, please send us powerful saints as you did in days of old when the Church suffered under the leadership of wicked men.

Anything that contains the words “gender, justice, and revolution” isn’t going to be good and it’s tipical for communist posing as Catholics to still use these BS phrases even though we ain’t in 1970 anymore. No wonder Obama got votes from millions of loopy Catholics!
