Catholic Gonzaga Prohibits Pro-Life Event with Liz Wheeler
The College Fix ^ | 11/16/22 | Gigi de la Torre

‘This university has lost the understanding of what it means to be Catholic,’ student leader says

Gonzaga University, a Jesuit Catholic institution, refused to allow a pro-life event by the campus Zags for Life group.

Zags for Life wanted to host Catholic pro-life speaker Liz Wheeler with assistance from Young America’s Foundation, but the campus ministry office denied the request.

Grant Habersetzer, a student and board member of Gonzaga’s pro-life club Zags for Life, told The College Fix that he was notified the event was canceled by an email from Director of Mission and Ministry Luke Lavin. The ministry director said he was “unaware” that the group was working with YAF on the event, according to an email reviewed by The Fix.

Habersetzer already had received approval from the Center for Student Involvement, which typically oversees clubs on campus. However, the campus ministry office has claimed oversight of the pro-life group.

“I sent multiple e-mails with no response,” Habersetzer told The Fix. “I tried to visit [Lavin’s] office, but was not given a meeting. It got to the point that I was calling his office every hour to try to get a response, but with no answer.”

Lavin eventually told the group that he was canceling the event due to “some of the ambiguity around the requests around advisor change and club status.”

You know why I don’t feel sorry for these students?

Because at this point, if you haven’t caught on that any adult leadership in the Catholic Church is in reality never pro-life, then you haven’t been paying attention.

What the heck are they doing paying huge tuitions to Gonzaga for? It just feeds the evil that has been evident the past, say, 15 to 30 years.

Bergoglia, the nominal Pope, has by his actions and appointments signaled an approval of abortions as well as varioius perversions. If he lives long enough he will regularize these heresies into Doctrine. That’s what you get when you elevate Tolerance to a Sacrament.
