Noticed the Cardinal Newman Society's post today about the distribution of "G@y? Fine by me" t-shirts by Gonzaga University and wondered whether our local Xavier University would be doing the same. Not only did XU not disappoint, but they go one better -- devoting an entire week to ... well, read it for yourself

Yes. Then young, Jesuit scholastics will whine and say: but we are orthodox, obedient et cetera. Then we are asked to believe that the Society is pro-life.
