Catholic colleges should host 'Lavender Graduations' and call students by pronouns that do not correspond with reality, the Jesuit argued.
WASHINGTON, D.C., February 5, 2020 (LifeSiteNews) – At a meeting in the nation’s capital, Fr. James Martin, S.J. – the most prominent clergyman arguing for the normalization of homosexuality and transgenderism within the Church – addressed 150 Catholic college and university presidents, urging them to promote “inclusion” on their campuses by promoting “LGBT-affirming liturgies,” permitting students to choose their own pronouns, and holding “Lavender Graduations.”
Martin offered his remarks at the annual meeting of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities (ACCU), where school presidents were joined by nearly 200 top staff for a three-day conference at D.C.’s swanky Ritz-Carlton Hotel.
ACCU President Fr. Dennis H. Holtschneider said the group “welcomed Martin very warmly,” according to The Washington Post.
Holtschneider told the group that the session was not about “challenging Church teaching” but about “delving into it.”
Jim Towey, past president of St. Vincent College and Ave Maria University – two schools with reputations as orthodox Catholic institutions – expressed receptivity to Fr. Martin’s message.
The “perception by some of Pope Francis’s openness on LGBT outreach,” indicates that “there is a shift underway,” Towey told the Post. “Martin’s talk could signal the beginning of a larger debate on these contentious issues.”
Martin’s presence at the ACCU meeting may very well be evidence of a quiet seismic shift in some Catholic schools: A serious erosion of their Catholic identity and a further abandonment of Catholic moral teaching.

Gayness everywhere with the Catholic church hierarchy.
It must be godly!
Very sad. I hear there are still a few catholic colleges that try to maintain some moral values.
More Sodomite Satanism. This is not Christian or Godly.
What is wrong with the Catholic University presidents to host this kook? He is definitely a homosexual and should be bounced out of the Church. To allow him to speak is to push homosexuality big time. It surprises me that a Catholic organization like Catholic University would even allow him to talk. He is definitely queer, no question. It is antithetical that an organization associated with the Catholic Church would even consider it. He is as out there as one can get. They must be homosexual as well to even invite him to speak. Oh Well!
“ He is definitely a homosexual and should be bounced out of the Church. ”
Gays are approved to serve in the Vatican
The priesthood is largely gay and approved.
Nothing new here.
It is time for the Catholic alumni of these universities to tell the fund raisers from these universities NO MORE money until they formally reject these pro LBGT policies publicly.
