The left heard what they wanted to hear...

Pope Francis has apparently made waves for something he didn't actually say.  The Pope said, "Who am I to judge?", and the left leaning media took that to be code words for, "Hey do whatever you want, and the Catholic Church won't say anything!"  They claim a new day is dawning!

No, no, no, no, NO!  He said the exact same thing that Pope Emeritus Joseph Ratzinger said, and Blessed Pope John Paul II before him.  Pope Francis just said it in a nicer way. Nothing has changed, people. The Church didn't say abortion, contraceptives, divorce, women priests, and a myriad of other social issues are now acceptable!  Openly gay priests will not be ushered to the lectern to give homilies saying that there is nothing wrong with homosexuality, or that the Church will start performing gay "marriages".  The Catholic Church is not known for bowing to the whims of secular society, nor should it. What good is a religion that changes its policies or doctrines based on what makes people feel good?  Since when is that a proper measurement of what is good for society?

The Pope in my humble opinion is correct when he says we must be brothers.  Just like those of us of the Catholic faith should not help someone procure an abortion, but pray for the parents and the unborn baby being aborted, we must, with love, tell the truth about the destruction of sexual deviances.

The left wants desperately for the Catholic Church to approve of their destructive ways of life.  Why? Why do they care what the Catholic Church says?  Why do so many phony politicians claim to be Catholic, but spit in the face of those of us who actually live the faith, á la Pelosi, Biden, and Sebelius? They do it because then they assume that when they stand before God, they can excuse their deceit and lies, and won't have to account for the multitude of souls they've led astray.

I will pray for our Pope, and pray that the moral decay in our society will eventually be destroyed, for the sake of our children!

John Banzhaf sues Catholic University on behalf of non-complaining Muslim students

This story makes me angry. A man, John Banzhaf, a George Washington University professor and Catholic University basher, is claiming to represent a group of Muslim students going to Catholic University. He complained that there are no rooms for them to pray in. Specifically a room devoid of crosses. Although at last report, no file has been claimed by any students. Just this ignorant, arrogant professor. He claims it is a case of Human Rights discrimination. This is after he filed a sex discrimination lawsuit against the same university when they announced that they would go back to same sex dorms. Did I miss something here? What part of Catholic does he not understand? He claims, “Denying Muslim students the opportunity for form a student group on campus could hardly be based upon any fundamental Catholic doctrine since Georgetown University not only has such a Muslim student group, but also provides its Muslim students with a separate prayer room and even a Muslim chaplain.” Since when does a Catholic university need to remove crosses or crucifixes from any of the rooms to accommodate anyone? Why do some people think they can change what a Catholic school is supposed to be? As someone who has lived in a Muslim country, I can attest to the fact that they make no accommodations for Christians in any type of setting. If he tried this type of lawsuit in Turkey on behalf of Christians, he'd be lucky not to be arrested. If you go to a Catholic school, expect to see crosses or crucifixes.

Oh wait a minute, I forgot. Georgetown covered up its cross to accommodate the President of the United States when he decided to grace them with his presence. The reason: They didn't want to offend anyone, and wanted to be "inclusive". Then why did he pick a "Catholic" institution to do his speech? Or how about Notre Dame's shameful honorary degree given to the same President, who came on T.V. and scolded America about not coming to a "common ground", when it pertains to abortion. I have heard others using these two examples of "Catholic" universities as being more flexible and reasonable when it comes to being inclusive of everyone.

Well I have news for them. True Catholic institutions, whether it be elementary, middle, high schools, or colleges, have to follow the Magesterium of the Church. Which simply says these halls of learning will follow and promote the official teachings of the Catholic Church.

There has been a constant attack against truly Catholic institutions of learning. I spoke with Adam Wilson who is with the Cardinal Newman Society, and he verified that The Newman Guide, which they thoroughly research for each year, lists the universities that follow the Magesterium. For the list Click Here. This is the most current list, and for me in particular will be very helpful while getting my high school freshman daughter ready for upcoming college searches.

Another site, Catholic Colleges Online, lists approximately 163 Catholic colleges, (this number includes those in The Newman Guide.) That's a difference of 140. One hundred fourty colleges that claim to be Catholic, but if you look closer, the only thing Catholic about them might be their mission statements. This site does not list all of the universities that claim to be Catholic. Another overlooked fact is that many of these colleges not on the Newman list are run by Jesuit priests, many of whom have long stopped effectively defending the faith of the Catholic Church.

I know some may be offended by that statement, but look at their "Top" universities. Georgetown: which allows Vagina Monolouges, Notre Dame: honoring President Obama with a degree, and Boston College: a students group handed out condoms within the dorms. Or how about Loyola University of Chicago: hosted its 2011 "Advocate Annual Drag Show". I could keep going, but I'd prefer to let people do their own research.

The Church is under attack from all sides, and this lawsuit is just another arrow in the quiver. If the left and "progressives" can destroy the Catholic youth, from school age through college, they feel the rest of the Church will fall.

It's time for Christian parents to get involved, be aware of where you send you child to school, and be active within your church to keep your children wholesome. Catholic parents need to be even more aware if sending your child to a Catholic school, and make sure they follow the Magesterium. If they don't, then you and you money should walk away.
