Saint Louis University’s service center encourages students to oppose common sense limits on pornographic, pro-homosexual books in libraries.
ST. LOUIS, Missouri (LifeSiteNews) — An office within Jesuit Catholic Saint Louis University (SLU) took a stance against a proposed state rule that would help protect students from pornographic LGBT propaganda.
The Center for Social Action at SLU is supposed to help connect students to volunteer opportunities – such as supporting kids who lost their parents or helping at a local zoo event. But it’s also decided to embrace the LGBT agenda and push back against limits on what kids can read in their local library.
Young America’s Foundation (YAF) reported:
Saint Louis University recently encouraged students to oppose a rule proposed by the Missouri Secretary of State’s office that, if passed, will increase measures to protect minors from encountering inappropriate materials in public libraries.
The state’s proposal, titled the “Library Certification Requirement for the Protection of Minors,” seeks to ensure that age-inappropriate materials are not displayed or distributed to children. The “age-inappropriate” designation would be made locally by each public library and would likely apply to titles that feature pornography or sexual messaging.

Jesuits aren’t Catholic.
Jesuits……..always Jesuits
They are Catholic.
Maybe not Roman Catholic, but Catholic. :)

I did some graduate studies there forty years ago and I had a positive experience. The place had a good spirit.
Ah, well.
Jesuits are Marxists. That the Roman Catholic Church doesn’t excommunicate these heretics is a big question.
It is painful to have to observe that — in the vast percentage of instances —- the word “Jesuit” in a report is usually a reliable signal for sone sort of immoral or anti-Biblical act or statement
Exactly!!
I thought Jesuits were the Society of Jesus, not Society of Homos.
Ditto!!!
It’s because we have a Pope who’s a Marxist!
I believe Klaus Schwab and Gyorgy Schwartz are pulling his strings.
You must me. a male. I went to Marquette decades ago and priests clearly hated me for being smart. THAT HORRIBLE GIRL.
Best way to change policy in this area is by changing library personnel. Statutory or referenda changes are easier targets for leftist judges.
I disagree with the refusing of books in a library as it hammers freedom of speech.
Years ago you could go into a video store and the adult section was separated and marked as such so it was available for use. But it was not denied. The same thing could be done with books identified as inconsistent with the theology of the using library and could be expanded to cover authors attacking the religious part of the facilities. Separate, but equal. It allows the library to protect itself.

I began investigating Jorge Bergoglio for his interest in S. American Marxist liberation theology as soon has he was elected to be Pope. The question had mixed results, then, as it does now. He may voice concerns about the poor and global Capitalism, but that was used to down-play the polarized atmosphere within the Jesuit order concerning liberation theology. I would say it is being hidden behind a smoke-screen, like Marxists tend to do.
These people aren’t Christians. They must be the Devils minions.
“This is about restricting access of porn to CHILDREN.”
The article indicates pushing back against pornography is being requested for Jesuit students. If they are going to ban books based upon their ideology of what’s right and wrong then that opens up the reverse. Would it be acceptable for a library to ban the Bible, the Bhagavad Gita, the Book Of Mormon, the Book Of Common Prayer, the Ramayana, the Torah, the Tripitaka, or the Kojiki?
We, in this country, live in a world of freedom of speech with regulations established to try to control that that shouldn’t get into some circles. But if you are not providing an outlet to the right circles, then you are not completing our citizen’s wishes. And since it is so readily available on the web, why does banning books help?
In a study done by BlockerX, 40 million individuals in the United States frequent pornographic websites on a regular basis. A woman accounts for one out of every three visitors to pornographic websites. Every day in the United States, 37 new pornographic videos are produced. Every second, around $3,000 is spent on pornographic material. Pornography accounts for 35% of all internet downloads.

And their worry is some books in a library that they can monitor and control if the material was situated? So ban it and the slope gets slippery and inconsistent with our Constitution. Control it, and it becomes very tiny considering the other options to get to it that are available. And if you want to get on to someone, where are the parents? They are leaving the raising of their kids to someone else. And in too many cases, the government that can’t possibly raise their own or act age appropriate.
No, I have not been in a monastery. I’ve been in the real world learning how to cope with problems rather than attack them while determining compromise. The group is not going to stop the viewing but they can control it in the little corral they are interested in while still allowing the providing of it to those that wish who aren’t children. So are they really accomplishing something? Not much if any.
