Love Is In The Air For Valentines

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. Rememeber this post next year when we are all asked to believe that the Society is pro-life... And, yes, abortion and homosexuality are inextricably linked to one another...

I have been involved in the taking of life.

If I make “life” the highest value, then I undermine other values that are more important. We have been told the most important commandment.

Does that help? Gonzaga and Xavier are Jesuit institutions. The souls of young people are at stake. The Society has a responsibility to these young people. Not only do they abdicate their responsibilitites as priest, but they lead others into sin. This is what I am talking about...
