"The sins which lead most souls to hell are sins of the flesh!" ~ Blessed Jacinta Marto
During the week of October 10-14, students at the prominent Catholic University of Notre Dame faced another assault against traditional Catholic morality on campus: "National Coming Out Day." The weeklong event included shocking pro-homosexual activities under titles such as:
* Speak Out! Sex and Gender at Notre Dame Rally
* Come Out of Your Closet!
* Library Exhibit: Famous LGBT [Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trasgender] Individuals
* The Process of Coming Out: A Panel Discussion
* Gay? Fine by Me, T-shirt Day
An email alert advertising pro-homosexual activities circulated by a Notre Dame graduate student on October 7, stating: "All campus Masses [on Sunday, October 9] will be dedicated to creating a more welcoming environment for ND GLBTQ [gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender, queer] students. Homilies at Mass in residence halls and the Basilica will reflect this message, and prayer cards and rainbow ribbons will be distributed during all campus Masses."
The same email also invites students to watch a film called Ma Vie En Rose. A description of the movie talks about one of the characters: "Ludvic is a young boy who can't wait to grow up to be a woman."
Notre Dame's Graduate Student Union and Sociology Department sponsored perhaps the most revolting event. According to The Observer, a life-size orange closet draped with a rainbow curtain was placed on the quad in front of the South Dining Hall. Students on their way to lunch were given pink flyers and urged to support the homosexual agenda by literally coming out of this large closet.
More Symptoms of Moral Decay
This week's outrage comes on the heels of other troubling pro-homosexual events. On February 10, Notre Dame hosted its second annual "Queer Film Festival," where notorious dissident Catholic speakers freely voiced their scandalous opinions. At one session, pro-homosexual Sister Jeannine Grammick is reported to have told students: "I'm beginning to believe that the greatest sin for lesbian and gay people is to want to be straight." In 1999, Pope John Paul II permanently prohibited Sister Grammick from all and any pastoral work involving homosexuals. Causing grave scandal, she ignored the order from Rome and continues to contradict Church teaching.
Another featured guest speaker at the film festival was Terrence McNally, author of "Corpus Christi," a blasphemous play that portrays Our Lord Jesus Christ and His Apostles as homosexuals, and which the American TFP protested in 1998. Unfortunately, that is not all. A few days after the "Queer Film Festival," amid widespread opposition, the lewd feminist play "V***** Monologues" was performed on campus with the support of three university departments.
Before this appalling scenario, Notre Dame's Catholic administrators are virtually silent, if not complacent. In fact, next year's "Queer Film Festival" was already approved by Notre Dame's board of directors: "Such films should be shown and discussions on them should be held on a university campus."
Faithful Catholics at Notre Dame are extremely frustrated. As student Christian Hoeffel put it: "One of the primary reasons I chose to attend Notre Dame was because of its deep Catholic roots. Seeing the university sponsor, and often promote, events like the "Queer Film Festival," "V***** Monologues," as well as a number of pro-gay speakers really shocks me, and makes me question whether or not the University of Notre Dame is in line with the Church's teachings as it claims to be."
The Ploy of Academic Freedom
The Most Reverend John M. D'Arcy, bishop of the diocese of Fort Wayne-South Bend, Indiana, opposed the deplorable "Queer Film Festival" in a statement:
This presentation is an abuse of academic freedom. Pope John Paul II makes clear the place of academic freedom when he says it must always be linked to certain values central to a Catholic university.
Freedom is always linked to truth. In this seminar, held at a Catholic university, there is no place given to the presentation of Catholic teaching on the matter of homosexuality. The rights of others are violated. What about the rights of the church to have its teachings properly presented? What about the rights of parents of those students at Notre Dame who find the content of this seminar offensive?
Launching a prayerful protest
The mission of a Catholic University includes counseling students away from sin, providing them with insights to the necessity and beauty of the virtue of chastity that some may have never known. As Blessed Jacinta warned: "The sins which lead most souls to hell are sins of the flesh!"
That is why TFP Student Action is launching a peaceful and prayerful protest, asking the recently elected president of the University of Notre Dame, Fr. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., to uphold Catholic morality. The success of this protest depends largely on your prayers. Please pray for the end of homosexual sin and for the perseverance of Catholic students.
The more letters we generate, the better. Join the e-petition.

IMHO, The sins which lead most souls to hell are sins of envy and pride.
Some people dont like boycots - but this is the only way that you can enact change - if this is your alma matter dont give em a dime and tell them why. This is the only thing they understand and will respond to - it works and everyone can play a part.

Most of the time, pride and sins of the flesh, sensuality, go together; two vices that are closely connected.

Unfortunately I do not...sorry...
well you have me at a loss... What happened Saturday??
You wouldn't be the first to think that. Adult theologians (rather than preteens, no matter how saintly) generally rate "sins of the flesh" as less dangerous to salvation, because they are more likely to be repented than corruption of the intellect and spirit.
This is so sad
During the ND/USC football game Saturday there was an ad by the University showing a pretty young girl going to the alter on several occasions, lighting candles and saying a prayer. The final scene was her joy at receiving an (I assume) acceptance letter from the University.
I'm sure she wasn't praying to become part of Notre Dame's obviously thriving and sanctioned Queer Community. If I were her father, I'm not sure I would let her go.
GLBTQ?? Okay, the G is for gay and the Q is for queer... Why? What is the difference between queer and gay? Seems redundant to me. Didn't they used to hate the term "queer"? Do they still hate the term "fag"?
The prayers of thousands of ND football fans were answered. And the answer was NO.
(slumping in my chair a little...) ...Oh!... Okay now I get it!!
Knute Rockne, The Gipper, The Fighting Irish...................BETRAYED!
Yup. Give 'em the Papal Elbow.
Now I'm even more glad that USC scored that last-second touchdown. At least USC is what it is; ND no longer is what it was intended to be.
ROTFL.
The alumni got Fr. Malloy dumped for 'Monologues'. Does this mean Fr. Jenkins will be gone before his first year is out?
Q is for questioning. A way to troll for more victims.
Sadly, ND hasn't been a true Catholic university in years. Bishop D'Arcy is an excellent pastor and leader for the diocese, but his options are limited because ND is run by the Congregation of the Holy Cross.
Our daughter will be attending college in 5 years. We are looking for a Christian school, we are Catholic, but Notre Dame will definitely not be on our list.
