SETON HALL LAW PROFESSOR RECRUITS STUDENTS FOR PRO-ABORTION CAMPAIGN
A law professor at Seton Hall University (NJ) who also serves as counsel to a pro-abortion candidate's campaign for New Jersey governor is recruiting law students to assist the campaign.
Professor Kevin Ryan has distributed e-mail messages encouraging students to help Democrat gubernatorial candidate Jim McGreevey and the Democratic Party inspect polling places to ensure adequate minority turnout on November 6. A training session for student recruits is scheduled for November 1 in a Seton Hall classroom!
McGreevey is leading Republican Brett Schundler in the race for New Jersey governor. A Catholic and former pro-life legislator who received funds from pro-life PACs, McGreevey now vociferously supports abortion rights and even would allow doctors to decide whether a partial-birth abortion is necessary to protect a mother's health. Schundler opposes abortion except to save the life of a mother.
Seton Hall University was criticized in May when it presented an honorary degree to Dolores Cross, a former member of a pro-abortion "National Commission On America Without Roe" sponsored by the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League (NARAL).
Call Law School Dean Patrick Hobbs and ask him if they would allow a professor to support David Duke. Ask him to cancel the training class and get the McGreevey campaign to move it off campus. 973-642-8724 Dean Patrick Hobbs
Call Seton Hall University President Rev. Msgr. Robert T. Sheeran and ask him if they would allow a professor to support David Duke. Ask him to cancel the training class and get the McGreevey campaign to move it off campus. 973-642-9691 President, Rev. Msgr. Robert T. Sheeran
When will it ever end? Thought Bishop Myers, Archdiocese of Newark, NJ, was a Conservative Bishop? Guess I was wrong.
When will it ever end? Thought Bishop Myers, Archdiocese of Newark, NJ, was a Conservative Bishop? Guess I was wrong.He just got there and you already expect him to have successfully gained control over who each and every professor in the area recruits support for politically? I join you in the freep of the school. The Bishop, on the other hand, is a long, long (did I say long?) way from dealing with this little problem, which is probably way down on his list of major issues with the Church out there.

Be sure that those students inform those minorities of the Democrats' long campaign of legal genocide against them by abortion.
I'll buy what you are saying about the school slipping morally, but the campus, complete with the new buildings, has never looked better.
Firing this A**hole for conduct unbecoming, IMMEDIATELY, and being willing to settle the lawsuit, would go a long way toward furthering that exact goal.
One of the many great things about the Catholic Church is that it doesn't believe in that "once saved, always saved" nonsense.
That means that there is a very good chance that McGreevey will burn in Hell!
Ooohhh, Shiny new buildings....And moral Bankruptcy... Great place to flush tuition money down the toilet....If you're an idiot.
And Further Simply put, a professor openly recruiting, his students for a political campaign, is very morally problematic.
Good chance, Vegas Odds on Greevy's soul....let's just say that the smart money is on hell...
Just as smart as betting the Jets, to call a draw play on Third and 18.
Another smart bet, LOL
Go Bret Go!
The moral and catechetical state of most Catholic universities (not to mention Catholic elementary and secondary schools, but that is another discussion entirely) is quite pathetic.
If you read New Oxford Review, there was an article in a recent issue that talked about the "Catholic Hiroshima". It referred to a group of American priests, primarily from Catholic University of America, who held a press conference (I don't recall the exact date - late 60's or early 70's) and essentially said that Catholics didn't have to follow all instruction/direction from Rome. They were responding specifically to Humanae Vitae and essentially saying that dissent was acceptable. That was a watershed moment in American Catholicism and we are still experiencing the "fallout" from it.
One of the aftereffects is that theology professors at many Catholic universities have the notion that they can teach whatever they want in their theology courses. The Pope has been trying for years to get them to teach true Catholic doctrine. (There is a related article in the current issue of NOR about the different approach the UCCB takes regarding professors versus laity.) Fr. David M. O'Connell, the president of Catholic University of America is doing everything he can to implement Ex Corde Ecclesiae. Not only was CUA ground zero for an attack on the Catholic Church, but "In 1887 Pope Leo XIII approved the plan to found CUA, the only national Catholic center of learning in the United States with a papal charter." One can see the importance of restoring CUA to being a truly Catholic institution.
If any NJ/NY/CT Catholics are interested, Fr. O'Connell will be speaking on this very subject in NYC next Wednesday. The title of his talk is "Making Catholic Colleges Catholic Again: The Problem of Ex Corde Ecclesiae".
