I’m with you on that, Miss Marmelstein.
Think you are correct to a point. But this article history. Any Freeper of good will just has to have any paradigm like you describe shaken by the post. I hope.
I am very well aware of what happened to the anti abortion protesters that showed up on campus to protest Obama’s invitation to speak at a graduation ceremony at ND.
The official reason given for the arrest was that the protestors were on private property. I do not approve of the arrests or the Administration’s invitation to Obama.
But all of this is very typical of ND. They like to have it both ways — supposedly in the spirit of openness and academic inquiry. Of course, never to take sides is cowardly, but very much to be expected from the spineless priests who run the university. They have to accommodate some very wealthy and influential donors, as well as maintain the esteem of the national academic community.
Unlike Georgetown, though, there are still a lot of students and alumni who are still faithful Catholics.
No they don't.

He has dealt with that in other sources. It is not the important thing at all to what he says in the article. He is giving the origins of Civilization, or at least civilization as we know it. Contraception and medical abortion are very recent and not really germane to his topic except as a follow on that illustrates the effects of ignoring the origins. To throw him over because he doesn’t get to your own pet peeve, which is a major peeve if you are talking about modern and recent politics, is a bit squint-eyed, I think.
Are you being deliberately argumentative?
Of course, they don’t have to, but they think they have to. Their goal is to continue to increase the stature of Our Lady’s university in the eyes of the world. No more Catholic ghetto for the likes ofthem.
The oh so worldly Father Hesburgh set ND on this path many years ago.
Peace, you’re misreading me. I’m not throwing Prager over at all. I think he’s wise and describes the Big Picture and writes very well. I’m just saying contraception is a particular puzzle piece of the Big Picture of Civilizational Collapse that, as far a I know, he hadn’t yet figured out.
If he did, that’s even better. Go Prager!
Providing both students and faculty with birth control insurance coverage might increase Notre Shame's stature in the eyes of this world, but it's Christ's Kingdom that the university should be worried about.
Yes, this is an excellent article. Thanks for posting.
It should be required reading fourteen year old.
