It’s all about the dollar.

As long as these new members of the Holy Roman Catholic Church, put their offerings into the collection plate, all is good.
That’s the ticket!
Now they can keep the name of the town “Notre Dame.”
He is able, canonically, to "forbid" their use of the word "Catholic" in their name or their literature. He probably can't make it stick in secular court but it would look REALLY bad to the alumnae. That carries some clout. Enough, apparently, that they suddenly got their heads right.
ya think???
President Katie Conboy...history of identifying as a woman...
sounds like an episode from the "Twilight Zone"...
A very good friend of mine, a (former) theology teacher at a (allegedly) Catholic high school, got in trouble with the President of that school for teaching that homosexuality, transgenderism, abortion, and a few other moral evils violate Scripture and Catholic Doctrine. My friend was not given the choice to resign or be fired; my friend was straight up fired.
The wretched creatures at St. Mary’s shouldn’t get that choice either; they too should be straight up fired. Show them the same lack of courtesy their ilk showed my friend.
Well said.
What’s most disgraceful is that the board had to have outsiders tell them that this was wrong.
As I keep saying, it is up to the gals to STEP UP and put an end to all this shit. We gave them their own sub-par sports and Title 9, it is up to them, THE GALS, to defend it against (female) Leftist Monsters who simply HATE WOMEN.
We cannot do any more for them.
"No way! huh huh..huh huh. Hey school teacher, check it out, I identify as a woman huh huh"
"Heh heh heh...me too, I identify as a woman...heh heh"
"Yeah so like, when do we get to see these naked chicks...huh huh huh"
DARN IT !
Now they will have to change the female student medical plan to cover prostate issues, testicular cancer and erectile dysfunction.
“who consistently live and identify as women”
Consistently? Trans-excluding bigots.
You obviously have never visited St. Mary’s. They’ve had this rule in place for a loooooong time. **shudder**
“Sex assigned at birth” is a bit misleading. Biologically, your sex is what it is, even before birth. They can tell by ultrasound. Your DNA exists before birth. I would have thought Catholics would acknowledge that.
You can't make this stuff up. We are living in a Bunyan-ian allegory.
St. Mary's College reverses policy to admit transgender students"St. Mary’s College, an all-female Catholic university, has reversed its policy to accept transgender students. The decision received push back from an Indiana bishop.
Days later, Indiana Bishop Kevin Rhoades, whose diocese includes South Bend, urged St. Mary’s board of trustees to “reject ideologies of gender that contradict the authoritative teachings of the Catholic Church” and “to correct its admissions policy.”
The board obliged on Dec. 21. In a letter addressed to the Saint Mary’s College community, Conboy and the board president wrote that it had become “increasingly clear … that the position we took is not shared by all members of our community.”
“Some worried that this was much more than a policy decision: they felt it was a dilution of our mission or even a threat to our Catholic identity,” the letter reads. “As this last month unfolded, we lost people’s trust and unintentionally created division where we had hoped for unity. For this, we are deeply sorry.”
Opponents of the former policy praised the college’s change of course, arguing that allowing men who identify as women into an all-female school goes against Catholic teaching.
“The desire of Saint Mary’s College to show hospitality to people who identify as transgender is not the problem,” wrote Bishop Rhoades in an open letter. “The problem is a Catholic woman’s college embracing a definition of woman that is not Catholic.”
