Anti-Christianity: The Accepted Form of Bigotry

DISCLAIMER: Read what I say carefully before flames.

I can speak for Boston College, a Jesuit university with perhaps half of its buildings named for Jewish alums (and donors.) A product of a Jesuit high school, I have no problem with this academic relationship, nor with comparative theology being studied up there.

However, when other religious groups begin blackmailing schools like Georgetown protesting crucifixes, my ecumenism stops and I say to these people, 'you know why this school is here, and it's not to go out of its way to make everyone feel included.'

As if crucifixes on walls were a form of pressing religious indoctrination.

If an anti-Semitic comment were made by a professor, he could say goodbye to his future in academia. The Jews would unite and see to it that he would not be allowed to teach such bigotry.

BS

Anti-semitism in academia seems like a virtual requirement for tenure.

I read about the students wanting to reinstall the crucifixs at Georgetown. Gives me hope for the future. I realy think the generation that is now in college and their younger peers are going to be dynamic for our country and for the world.

"God will give to each person according to what he has done. To those who by persistence in doing good seek glory, honor and immortality, he will give eternal life. But for those who are self-seeking and who reject the truth and follow evil, there will be wrath and anger. There will be trouble and distress for every human being who does evil; first for the Jew, then for the Gentile. For God does not show favoritism." Romans 2:6-11

There are conservative Catholics?

You forgot the "/sarcasm"

"Founded in 1789, the same year the U.S. Constitution took effect, Georgetown University is the nation's oldest Catholic and Jesuit university. Today, Georgetown is a major international research university that embodies its founding principles in the diversity of our students, faculty, and staff, our commitment to justice and the common good, our intellectual openness, and our international character."

This is quoted from the Georgetown U website. It seems to me they are allowing way too much "diversity" of their faculty. Where is the Cardinal when you most need him to kick some "diverse" @$$?

Georgetown is an embarassment, and so is it's most famous alum, Bill Clinton.

Non - P.R.O.P. article Ping! of interest. Elitist, left- wing, God-hating , Christ-bashing, uber-liberal college professors on the loose...



1) "O Lord, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy hot displeasure.

2) Have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are sore vexed."

{Psalms VI,v 1 & 2}

9) "Proclaim ye this among the Gentiles; Prepare war, wake up the mighty men, let all the men of war draw near; let them come up.

10) Beat your plowshares into swords, and your pruninghooks into spears; let the weak say, I am strong."

{Joel III, v 9 & 10}

9) "And he said unto me, 'My grace is sufficient for thee: For my strength is made perfect in weakness.' Most gladly, therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

10) Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then I am strong."

{2 Corinthians II, v 9 & 10}

3) "Since ye seek a proof of Christ speaking in me, which to you-ward is not weak, but is mighty in you.

4) For though he was crucified through weakness, yet he liveth by the power of God. For we also are weak in him, but we shall live with him by the power of God toward you."

{2 Corinthians XIII, v 3 & 4}

17) "For Christ sent me not to baptize, but to preach the gospel: not with wisdom of words, lest the cross of Christ should be made of none effect.

18) For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.

19) For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.

25) Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men, and the weakness of God is stronger than men.

26) For ye see your calling, brethren how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called:

27) But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty;

28) And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:

29) That no flesh should glory in his presence."

{1 Corinthians I, v 17 - 19, & 25 - 29}

Weakness vs. strength. God's word vs. man's wisdom.

The quotations from the Holy Bible speak more clearly than I could ever hope to. They uniformly contradict the self absorbed, pseudo-intellectual rantings of educated men who are their own gods within their own universes.

We who dwell in Christ will not be mocked forever, nor remain in silence.
