Villanova University has decided to pressure its faculty, staff, and students into complying with a view of gender identity out of step with its Catholic mission. The decision undermines both Villanova’s purpose as a university and its desire to create an inclusive community in which everyone is treated with respect.
In an email to faculty on August 11, the university administration announced a Gender Inclusive Practices Guide, which states that “gender inclusivity is fundamental to Villanova’s mission” and cites the school’s diversity statement. No mention is made of its Catholic and Augustinian identity.
The best-practices guide envisions a transformative impact on campus, recommending that faculty “normalize an inclusive approach to gender.” It suggests as an example that people not say “ladies and gentlemen.” Presumably, St. Paul’s “brothers and sisters” is out, too.
The guide also recommends adding a “gender inclusion statement” to syllabi and suggests that faculty “consider making gender inclusivity an explicit component of your department’s and your classes’ DEI work and mission.” It would seem that Pope Francis was right when he said that contemporary “gender theory” is a kind of “ideological colonization.”

No. Excluding globohomos is a duty, to help them and others. Exclusion is appropriate. Inclusion destroys the Faith. It is correct to shun the sinners and perverts.
