“Free Speech” for me and not thee.
Loyola Marymount is referred to as a "University"?!?
...the group used the similar design to highlight how the two issues are connected.

I must assume that logic is not taught at this institution. As a woman who was blessed with 4 pregnancies (an 4 successful deliveries), I am pretty sure those babies did not climb a fence or otherwise break the law in order to grow in my womb.
The school invited Hillary Clinton as the Commencement Speaker.
For some reason, a number of PROLIFE folks were really incensed over it. Cardinal Egan (then the archbishop) was being contacted on this.
We had a thread on this on Freerepublic.
At the time I worked for Priests for Life. I was told to use my Priests for Life email for any personal correspondence.
At that time, Pope Benedict had just been elected (April 2005).
I posted that I thought this was wrong to the Pope as an email was posted. I forgot that I using my Priests for Life email.
I carbon copied the president of Marymount Manhattan.
There must have been some BROUHAHA that followed.
Apparently, Cardinal Egan was now in the middle of this situation of Pope Benedict, Marymount Manhattan, and Priests for Life.
I was summoned by the head of Priests for Life, and he was very angry about something.
One of my jobs was to pick the trash outside. This, for some reason, changed that.
Later, Cardinal Egan declared Marymount Manhattan not to be a Catholic College.
The head of Priests for Life had requested a transfer to the Diocese of Amarillo, Texas prior to this.
Cardinal Egan granted his request for transfer.
It would have been interesting to have been on in some of the conversations on this...
my grandpa was a huge prayer for padre pio to become a saint but did not live to see it happen by the Catholic church standards.
I think my grandpa would be unhappy to see what they Pio society s doing, grandpa believed in life and also in obeying laws.
