Holy Cross collaborated with Boston College, Boston College High School, and Boston College School of Theology and advocated three social justice issues: the closing of the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, the DREAM Act (a bill that would provide illegal alien students who graduate from U.S. high schools the opportunity to earn conditional permanent residency if they complete two years in the military or two years at a four-year institution of higher learning), and support for a climate change policy. Holy Cross students met with Senators John Kerry (pro-abortion) and Scott Brown (pro-abortion) and Representatives Mike Capuano (8th District), Barney Frank (pro-abortion) (4th District), and Jim McGovern (pro-abortion) 3rd District). The group met with staff members from Sen. Brown, Sen. Kerry, and Rep. Capuano’s office, and met personally met with Rep. McGovern and Frank.

This is nothing more than leftist professors indoctrinating students into the religion of leftism. All while pretending to be Catholic.
Fr. Drinan SJ left a wondeful legacy, didn't he? The gift that sadly keeps on giving...
Oh, welcome back Joseph!
I taught some classes at the “School of the Americas”at Ft. Benning and other bases.
I would argue that applying judgment to a complex situation does not lend itself to simple positions – positions such as “opposing” the “School of the Americas”.
I know that peace and social justice are theoretically possible. But, practically speaking, we are not at that point either as individuals or as a society. As a result, we are put in a position that does not allow us to take the same position that we would if we were in “heaven”. We must use judgment in the context where we currently exist, applying God’s values with consideration for the context.
Here, I do not actually imagine it may work.
