"The local Bishop needs to step in and tell them to get their heads straight or withdraw their Catholic charter."

I would be amazed if the local bishop had the balls to exert his authority. Marquette is punishing those who defend Catholic moral teaching.

I've been through this routine before, before I left Catholicism in disgust. The bishops go through some bureaucratic excuse process for why the school isn't in their chain of authority.

The'll tell you to take it up with the Jesuit order, who promptly ignores you.

Exactly. I’ve been told by Catholics here that Catholic universities, especially Jesuit ones should not be confused with the Catholic church. What kind of nonsense is that. Parents spend hard earned money to send their young adult children to these expensive colleges thinking it is good for them.

I have a very devout Catholic Air force buddy who wanted to send his son to a Jesuit college. I shared my experiences at one and helped him find a more morally conservative college in Ohio. Some here hail from that college.

Of course a an Evangelical now and he a Catholic, I was not going to convince him of Liberty University, TCU or Baylor:)
