LWhat do you think has been going on?

The same thing that's always been going on. The Catholic church has always turned a blind eye to homosexuals, and now they are actually teaching "queer studies" in a Catholic school. I didn't make that up. You can't make this stuff up!

How do you explain the Catholic church offering a minor in queer studies, in the midst of a scandal involving homosexual pedophilia among the priesthood? Do you consider that to be a good idea? What were they thinking; "hey, I have an idea, let's quench the fears of our congregations regarding pedophile priests by teaching queer studies?" WTF?

You really need to get a handle on your generalizations. Depaul University is not "The Catholic Church."

DePaul is a Catholic school like John Kerry is an American patriot.

The people who run DePaul are not "the Catholic church" any more than I am. A good bit less, actually.

Have you ever heard of Ex Corde Ecclesiae? It's the encyclical of the last Pope on what a Catholic college is supposed to be. At DePaul, they might as well use it for toilet paper, for all the attention they pay to it.
