Marquette is the most conservative Jesuit college. I wonder how that is playing among the administrators.
Two men considering a religious vocation were having a conversation. "What is similar about the Jesuit and Dominican Orders? " the one asked. The second replied, "Well, they were both founded by Spaniards -- St. Dominic for the Dominicans, and St. Ignatius of Loyola for the Jesuits. They were also both founded to combat heresy -- the Dominicans to fight the Albigensians, and the Jesuits to fight the Protestants." "What is different about the Jesuit and Dominican Orders?" "Met any Albigensians lately?"

Conservative Jesuit college is an oxymoron.
Marquette has not been conservative for many years. It’s been liberalized and secularized.
MU has been militantly pro-gay for years. A perfect bookend to the rot that is affecting the Milwaukee archdiocese, which were involved in widespread coverups of priest molestation issues.

It does sound like an odd fit.
People fling this term “gay rights” around without regard to its multivalent nature. Every “gay” person has always had the right to marry someone of the opposite gender. The right to have the sad, empty souled, neurotic obsession of homophilia considered as equivalent to the noble love that is the peak of holy matrimony, stops where my brain starts.
