The following comes from a Jan. 29 posting on RenewLMU.
The Loyola Marymount political science department is promoting a student internship opportunity with the non-profit organization Feminist Majority Foundation, a pro-abortion organization. The internship opportunity is posted on the political science department website. Led by long-time abortion advocate Eleanor Smeal, the feminist group on its own website states, “Abortion is a necessity for millions of women worldwide, for their health, for their well-being, for their dreams of a better tomorrow.”
According to the internship posting, student interns working in the Los Angeles office of FMF will have the opportunity to work on the National Clinic Access Project, “the nation’s largest and oldest clinic defense team.” There Loyola students can “research and collect data on anti-abortion violence directed at health care workers and patients; monitor anti-abortion websites and literature.”
No student internship opportunities with non-profit organizations dedicated to the protection of the unborn child could be found on the LMU political science department website.
The political science department chair, John Parrish, is serving on Loyola’s presidential search committee at the request of Kathleen Aikenhead, chair of the LMU board of trustees.
The link to LMU’s student internship posting can be found here.
Do not assume that a University is “Catholic” just because they fraudulently advertise themselves as such.
If they do not use an approved “Catholic Bible” and the “Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition” as required approved texts – do not waste your money on tuition.
Well, LMU is like many modern Catholic universities: Catholic in name only. Actually, the connection to abortion and homosexual rights groups by Catholic colleges is strong, as their administrations, faculty, and staff, reflect popularly held beliefs. That is, among Catholics, a large number, certainly more than a majority based on a number of polls, believe in anything from abortion rights, sexual rights (including homosexual sexual rights and marriage), women clergy, all of that.
Why is this? Because now two generations of Catholics were not taught the Faith. Thanks to the hijackers of Vatican II, many “ambiguities” were placed in its documents, so-called “time bombs” that are now being used to inundate Catholic institutions with heresy and heretical administrators, faculty, and staff. Students, too, expect this abhorrent behavior.
Clear warning signs are shown by outrage shown by students and parents whenever Catholic educators and religious appear on campus and teach the True Faith. Such anger is mostly focused on two items: (1) homosexual rights and (2) abortion rights. A great distance has grown, and is continuing, between the Faith and Catholics on the street.
It is no wonder that as these Catholics become parents, clergy, and even the Pope, their views on the Faith will be radically different than prior centuries. When they fail to teach you much truth, then you know little truth, and make things up. With this understandings, the idiocy of things coming out of the Vatican begin to make more sense.
Archbishop Gomez is absent on this, as usual.
There are Mortal Sins of OMISSION as well as COMMISSION.
Notre Dame just appointed Fr. John Jenkins to his THIRD five-year term, as President! He notoriously persecuted pro-life Catholics, including priests, who protested his invitation to abortion and gay “marriage” promoter, President Obama, to speak at 2009 graduation ceremonies, and receive an honorary award! Many sincere, good, faithful Catholics, were severely persecuted by Jenkins, for praying the Rosary, when Obama came! “Father” Jenkins should have been EXCOMMUNICATED! He should NOT have been allowed, to continue serving as President of Notre Dame!! What a FARCE!! The Catholic Church really does the world tremendous harm, by failing to properly run her Church, for Jesus Christ! Instead– the Church is run at the pleasure of selfish Church leaders!!
He and most of the U.S. bishops are to busy being useful idiots for the Communists by promoting illegal immigration to be bothered with protecting Catholic young adults in these so called “Catholic” Universities. Plus the government money tied to these institutions of higher learning that keeps the bishops silent. Socialism/Marxism/lLiberationTheology is a cancer killing many sections in the Church even up to the highest places in the Church. “A church of the poor for the poor” and don’t think it doesn’t also includes approving all sorts of sexual perversions that cry out to heaven for vengeance, is nothing but Marxists slogans. It is a false gospel taught by the anti-christs and anti-church to deceived, even some of the Elect of God. But you need eyes to see and ears to hear. Beware we are heading into very dark times… The time of the diabolical disorientation.
When Jesus gave His Sermon on the Mount, he said: “Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of Heaven. Mt 5:3.
NOTE: ” Poor is spirit” does not mean poor in money or material things.
The poor in spirit are those who turn to God, not relying on their own merits, but realizing that they are sinners in need of God’s help.
They live temperate and austere lives, not because of their material circumstances, but because they wish to accept and live in a humble condition, freely and generously.
ILLEGAL immigration is forbidden by the Catholic Church.
Immigrants are GUESTS and must OBEY the laws of the host Country and contribute to ASSISTING in CARRYING CIVIC BURDENS.
Obey the laws does not exclude immigration laws. CCC 2241.
Have you ever wondered why many Bishops rarely encourage Catholics to read the Bible and the CCC at home ?
If you really want to know the truth of your Faith, read a Catholic Bible and the “Catechism of the Catholic Church, second edition”.
The Catholic Faith opposes socialism and communism (marxism) CCC 2245.
The Church teaches SUBSIDIARITY – CCC `883, 1885, 1894, 2209.
The Church teaches “COMMUTATIVE JUSTICE” “without which no other form of justice is possibile”. CCC 2411.
It is unfortunate that some Bishops and some Priests can not be trusted to teach the TRUTH – which means completely and with 100% accuracy.
Pat, thank you for your excellent post!
For Jesuits the ends justify the means.
CCC: ” 1759 “An evil action cannot be justified by reference to a good intention (cf. St. Thomas Aquinas, Dec. praec. 6). The end does not justify the means. “
By their silence, the bishops condone what goes on at Loyola Marymount, Notre Dame and other “Catholic” universities that have abandoned the Catholic faith. Maybe the bishops are too busy advocating gun control.
“John Feeney”: You are correct. One might also add to your list of bishops concerns: (1) immigration; (2) elevating the role of women; (3) finding ways to “welcome” homosexuals (but not to condemn their sexual expression); (4) increasing the minimum wage; (5) free education and health care and retirement for all; (7) increasing taxation for all but the bottom half of society; and (8) eliminating the death penalty.
The list is really endless but your point is exactly right. Bishops have no problem with whatever goes on at LMU, and other CA Catholic colleges, regarding attacks on the Faith, the formation (or not) of students, and sexual expression on campus. Time for a Catholic uprising.
It is true that the mainstream Catholic colleges in this country do not teach the Faith. But it is worse than that. What these colleges impose on the unsuspecting is a revamped faith and a false counterfeit of Catholicism. Concern for the poor and disenfranchised has been distorted into advocacy of a hodgepodge of left wing Marxist ideals promoting socialist government, open borders, illegal immigration, sexual disorientation, abortion rights, and on and on, under a vague umbrella of social justice as a purported cornerstone of Catholicism. The schools support a false tacit understanding of these thing as being consistent with a higher consciousness of the true nature of Catholicism. Students gradually over time are indoctrinated and conditioned into believing that they have attained some supercharged sophisticated understanding of the Faith and its proper application in the modern world. Students come to believe that they are smarter and wiser than the saints, popes and theologians of two millennia who at this point are to be relegated to extinction like the dinosaurs. Students haven’t been taught the Faith by their colleges, but tragically they think they have. The are transformed over four years by their schools into false counterfeit Catholics and non-thinking automatons, pawns in the global march to socialist world government and the future seat of power of the antichrist.
Pete Green Wow! So true!
