Anyone can go to a Catholic University.....but at the end of the day, it is just that, a CATHOLIC UNIVERSITY.
Wonder if there will be Christian prayer rooms sprouting up around Mecca now?/extreme sarc
Surely you realize that any opposition on your part will simply be viewed as bigotry and intolerance.
I went to law school here.
About 6 months ago I told them I’d never donate anything until and unless they got rid of Professor Vernelia Randal. She is a horrible professor whose course material involves advancing a liberal perspective and the only reason they keep her around is to be pc in the demographic sense. The school isn’t highly rated to begin with and policies like this only further compromise that rating.
Now I find that the pc attitude of the school has gone even further. Note it is not appeasement in this instance but rather sheer pc idiocy.
My advice to any prospective students of UD. It’s a fun school and St. Patty’s day is a blast but the curriculum has been compromised by pc policies. This is exactly what happened and continues to happen to my undergrad, UC Berkely, the dumming down of the curriculum to accomodate pc student recruitment and qualification guidelines, pc studies, and pc professors. Merit and ability have taken a second seat to pc.
I just took my diploma off the wall. Shame!!!
Lesson Two: If you are a Catholic University (and an expensive one at that), what is this? A prayer room for a faith that is not Catholic? nor Christian? What about the idea of teaching the faith - the Catholic faith - to members of the University community? Do you honestly think that a Muslim university would set aside a chapel for use to pray the Rosary?
Lesson Three: Political Correctness is just crazy at this point. I can not believe at this time, and under this Pope any Catholic University would be doing something like this.
Would the good fathers provide similar facilities for evangelical protestants or Jews? ...how about Wiccans, Hindus and Zoroastrians shouldn’t they get similar treatment too? Another example of how in a post 9-11 world we go about kowtowing to Islam in the name of diversity, but really as a means of appeasing them so they won’t be mad at us and commit more acts of terror.
Mammon worship, secularism, and bacchanals are a far more serious threat to a Catholic university. I bet they even have the porn-ridden MTV on the dorm cable system.
Now, I can see that if the purpose is to convert them! But . . . .
No. I told you above, when I first got there, the Baptist Student Union was prohibited from being a campus organization.
I have no problem with the University allowing a private organization (just like the Mormon seminaries near public schools) to establish a “prayer room” on private property. But this is a university endorsement of an anti-christ.
Now you're just being hysterical.
Silly. Not at all. The “anti-christ” means not only some supernatural figure, but also, literally means, those against Jesus the Messiah. He said there would be MANY “anti-christs.” Islam is an anti-christ religion: what else would you call a religion that denys the divinity of Jesus and says He will reappear at the end times to announce the fact that He LIED??
Every other religion denies the divinity of Jesus as the Messiah.
Are all people of other faiths “anti-Christs”?
Most assuredly. Most of them, however, don’t kill those they disagree with. They wait for the “gods” to do that.
True enough, but just can’t accept the notion that Jews are “anti-Christs”.
Most certainly not. Quite the contrary, the Bible says that large numbers of Jews will accept the true Messiah in the “end times.”
Did’nt the Vatican incorporate pagan beliefs/symbols into the Church to build it up..?
Anton Levay’s Church of Satan should demand their own “worship” space. Maybe they can share space with that other anti-Christian faith’s room.
But until then? And what of the Jews who do not?
You must be sending your kids to the wrong Catholic School. My daughter recently graduated from a Catholic high school, and she is now at a Catholic College. At the high school level, every school day and school event opens with a prayer, and every student is required to take four years of religious studies and attend Mass every Friday morning when school is in session. A student does not have to be Catholic or even Christian to attend the school, but they must take the religion classes and attend Mass, no exceptions. The Catholic college she attends has a reputation for being politically and academically conservative. Christianity and traditional Catholic philosophy remain an important part of the core curriculum. In fact, many of the core classes and beyond are still taught by the Catholic Clergy, who reside on campus.
