The following comes from a June 9 posting on the Christian Post.
A conservative professor who speaks openly about his opposition to gay marriage after having been raised by a lesbian couple has announced that he will be resigning his tenured position following a long battle with liberal activists.
Robert Oscar Lopez, former associate professor of English and classics at California State University at Northridge, recently resigned his position with the academic institution.
In an interview with The Christian Post, Lopez explained that the decision to move on came as a result of longstanding mounting pressure from activists on and off campus.
“Online trolls had been posting for years that they were able to get CSUN employees on the phone to share information with them, but for a while I tried to give the institution the benefit of the doubt.”
By last November, explained Lopez, he found evidence that off-campus activists and his colleagues were working with each other to try and oust him.
In response to Lopez saying he was unjustly targeted for his views, the university told CP: “CSUN takes very seriously its obligation to protect and uphold faculty academic freedom rights. While CSUN takes exception to many of the statements professor Lopez has made public, we are unable to comment further regarding the details given our obligation to protect the privacy of students and employees.
In an essay written for the conservative Witherspoon Institute in August 2012, Lopez argued that being raised by a same-sex couple was harmful for him.
Last year, a student accused Lopez of discrimination when he gave his students the option of attending a conference on family issues that the professor spoke at.
“In October [2015], the university informed Lopez that while there was insufficient evidence that he’d discriminated against students on the basis of sex, there was sufficient evidence that he had ‘attempted to intimidate and prevent’ students from disagreeing with him about the conference,” reported Inside Higher Ed.
“California State’s academic freedom policy protects controversial content in the classroom, but notes that a professor should be careful not to introduce controversial subject matter which has ‘no relation to his subject.'”
This one more victory for cultural Marxism. Lopez was a great advocate for sanity in Academia.
The Left is totalitarian, advocates for tolerance only until it can impose its will on those who disagree with them, then persecutes dissenters from Leftist thought in order to control speech. The Left is evil. The Left hates truth, hates goodness, hates liberty, hates free speech, hates God, hates true religion and is succeeding in corrupting America and Western Civilization. The Left is my enemy and should be considered yours too. This professor is a victim of the evil, Leftist, totalitarian mindset that is gaining more and more traction in American society. As California is more and more overrun with such Leftists, it will become inhospitable for authentic Catholics and other freedom and truth loving people.
The only discrimination taking place here is against Professor Lopez. What ever happened to academic freedom at universities across America and the western world. Brothers and sisters in Christ the persecution has begun and it is going to get even worse in the coming years. It is only a matter of time when the persecution will get physical across America and the western world. But remember this, Jesus Christ spoke to the Apostles about what was going to happen in the end times in which we are living. Don’t be afraid and keeping proclaiming the truth of the word of God. Jesus Christ is coming very soon and all those who are persecuting the just will face Christ’s just judgement. Pray, Pray, Pray!
Sawyer while you are right about the left being evil and with a totalitarian mindset this evil has infiltrated the Church and all political parties whether they be left or right of center. Only prayer and Jesus Christ King of Kings true God and True Man can put a stop to this evil that has spread like a wild fire across the western world. Professor Lopez is a hero for speaking the truth. Jesus Christ spoke of these times to the Apostles saying they will even think they are doing right when they kill the just. If the odds seem stacked against us right now don’t despair for those who are persecuting us now for proclaiming the word of God will be destroyed and punished by a just God. Soon Sawyer soon!
I agree, Sawyer, and John! America is trapped in the jaws of Satan! The leftist-liberals are all Satan’s minions! In the end, however, it is promised, that God will triumph, and GOOD will defeat Evil, forever! We need strong leadership from our Church, and from all the other churches, to defeat Satan and the leftist-liberals– and return to God and Christian morality!
Must be something more here. Lopez seems OK, but true conservatives have got to be warriors. Satan never sleeps and neither do his children, the violent Left in America. Need to be strong, tough, and fight back at each and every chance; relish the battle.
I wonder what his Moms’ side of the story is.
And I wonder what his father’s side of the story is. It took two to produce him, and they were NOT two women.
Pure Cane Sugar, Professor Lopez has only one mother, so your snarky use of the plural possessive (Moms’) is incorrect. If he was adopted, his mom might not have much of a perspective to offer.
Being raised in a disordered, unnatural home arrangement, rather than in a loving nuclear family, by two women who suffer from the psycho-sexual disorder of same-sex attraction must have been very difficult for a boy growing up: lacking a father at home and a model of being a husband, lacking a daily model of masculinity and manhood, being reared in a home by women who in all likelihood have unhealthy and skewed attitudes about males and marriage and who modeled an unnatural, immoral female relationship. Professor Lopez seems to have overcome…
Prof. Lopez’ mom didn’t care about her son– and lived a terribly immoral life! How SELFISH!! Poor boy, growing up in that FILTH! His mama slept with a lady lover! I am so sorry for that man, I could CRY!!
No surprise, the ‘moms’ would defend their chosen ‘lifestyle’. BUT it’s apparent that a lesbian lifestyle was not fulfilling the needs of the poor little boy child (stuck?) with his ‘moms’, even if they were trying there best in their ‘dysfunction’. His words were, ‘being raised by a same sex couple was HARMFUL TO HIM’. So he had problems that need to be acknowledged by a segment of society that may not want to hear about it. Anyway, the good professor, thru God’s grace, overcame the issues of his childhood. I suspect he will land on his feet in a better/blessed environment as he resigns from the ‘out to get him’ university, their loss. Good for him!
What is so sad, is that a child in such a terrible household, in today’s America– has NO LEGAL RIGHTS with which to defend himself/herself! The courts uphold only the rights of immature, immoral Americans, to do as they wish, with NO REGARD to issues of decency, safety, and morality! I prefer the older laws, in which all sex perversions are a crime, and in which adultery, prostitution, and fornication, as well as pornography, are likewise crimes. Sorry for anyone who disagrees– but it is all for the best! Especially for the young, the vulnerable, and the poor little children! No more immorality– even if you’re not Catholic, or not Christian, either!
I believe that all forms of sexual immorality should be illegal. However, I also believe it should be a crime, to harm anyone, based on such things as their race, gender, religious belief, or sex abnormality— such as the “LGBT” problem. I think everyone should be taught morals, manners, and the “Golden Rule.”
Americans need to learn to live by the WORK ETHIC, and SELF-CONTROL, and to serve God, their country, and their family, and community, as their grandparents did!
Leave it alone for crying out loud LM! 103 people were shot this morning, 103 LGBT and their friends and you offer not a single word of condolence, but want to make THEM illegal. Get real.
Sorry, YFC but I sympathize with the situation! Get real, YFC– the deaths of those poor people are being prayed for, and mourned, by all of us! YES, we DO need Christian morals, SELF-CONTROL, in all life’s situations, and the good ol’ American WORK ETHIC, and a GOOD MORAL CONSCIENCE!! That is what is MISSING in this situation! Years ago, people didn’t just grab a gun, and go on a crazy, wild shooting spree, when upset! You were taught RIGHT FROM WRONG, and Christian morals– TO KILL IS A SIN, and YOU WILL BE PUNISHED!! MIGHT GO TO HELL, TOO!!
Divine Justice is Impersonal, exact, and just. No exceptions! A Satanic killer cannot get out of facing his Creator, with his sins– simply by suicide! He is not “free,” no matter how much “blabber” about silly, unrealistic concepts of “hippie freedom,” he may have been told, by liberals, in school! Ridiculous! We all have to deal with responsibility, for the results of all of our thoughts, words, and actions– in this life, and beyond! God sees ALL, and knows ALL, and we all MUST PAY UP for our sins! This killer will get his JUSTICE, from God– like everyone else! “Crime does not pay!”
Dear YFC?,
Let real, thousand of innocent babies are killed regularly in our country every week of the year. Millions of children are abuse in public schools that teach them aberrant sexual behavior in good and normal, condemning them to unhealthy live-styles, that spread disease, and brings about premature death (according to the Center for Disease Control).
Yes, LGBT, people need our prayers and need professional and spiritual counselling to help them deal with their mental illness. Women that want to be men and men that think they are women are people that suffer very serious mental illness. PAX!
Just think “YFC” of the many souls that now go before God as active homosexual sexualists. Yes, pray for them, as God’s mercy is limitless. But, He is also Just, and abhors sin. The problem here is that the dead may have been misled by decades of Catholic Church clergy indifference to proclaiming the need for recognition of sin and repentance. Pagans, too, mourn their dead (and love them, etc.). That does not mean that all Pagans achieve salvation. Pray for their souls, though, absolutely.
Cruel people create the kind of environment that allows people to justify their hatred to the point of murderous rage in the name of God. Self-righteousness converts no sinners and brings no one to the Gospel.. Gloating in the face of such injustice is the sin that you should be worried about. At least think of the mothers who lost their sons and daughters, and remember that to comfort the mourning is a spiritual work of mercy.
You continue to willfully miss the point., “YFC.” No one here is gloating, or suggesting that right was done with these murders. At the same time, we are talking about souls, and sin, and judgment. No homosexual benefits by anyone saying that because homosexuals were murdered, we all need to be more supportive of homosexual sexual activity. In fact, this tragedy is precisely the right time to say, with Catholic charity, to homosexuals, “have you looked at what you are doing and its impact on your immortal soul?”
You are absolutely right Linda Maria, America is battling against satan and the wicked one known as the fourth beast of the apocalypse in the Holy Bible and their earthly minions. In other words America is fighting not against flesh but principalities of the spirit world. Only prayer especially the Holy Rosary if said by millions of people around the world will work in this titanic spiritual war. And remember we are taught in Holy Scripture that not even the gates of hell will prevail against the Church. Pray for the Church, Pray for the Holy Father and all the good Priests, Bishops and Cardinals for they desperately need our prayers. Pray, Pray, Pray!
At what college is Dr. Lopez going to be teaching next year? I want to send my college-age kids there.
So sad. I’m sorry for Prof Lopez.
Why be sorry? This situation has given him an opportunity to witness to truth. Lets all pray that a good institution will
offer him employment and the children there will receive a good eduation from him.

The leftists are using whatever means they can to silence those who speak up. Truth has become the new hate crime. You would think that there would be even more tolerance and compassion for Professor Lopez. Especially, when he, as an innocent child, through no fault of his own, was forced to live a lie that would punish his well being as a child. Leftist will now punish his freedom as an adult to express it.

ON THE DOCTRINE OF THE MODERNISTS
ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS X, SEPTEMBER 8, 1907
VENERABLE BRETHREN, HEALTH AND THE APOSTOLIC BLESSING:
“1. One of the primary obligations assigned by Christ to the office divinely committed to Us of feeding the Lord’s flock is that of guarding with the greatest vigilance the deposit of the faith delivered to the saints, rejecting the profane novelties of words and the gainsaying of knowledge falsely so called. There has never been a time when this watchfulness of the supreme pastor was not necessary to the Catholic body, for owing to the efforts of the enemy of the human race, there have never been lacking “men speaking perverse things,”1 “vain talkers and seducers,”2 “erring and driving into error.”

ENCYCLICAL OF POPE PIUS X, SEPTEMBER 8, 1907
– ON THE DOCTRINE OF THE MODERNISTS
“3. It must, however, be confessed that these latter days have witnessed a notable increase in the number of the enemies of the Cross of Christ, who, by arts entirely new and full of deceit, are striving to destroy the vital energy of the Church, and, as far as in them lies, utterly to subvert the very Kingdom of Christ. Wherefore We may no longer keep silence, lest We should seem to fail in Our most sacred duty, and lest the kindness that, in the hope of wiser counsels, We have hitherto shown them, should be set down to lack of diligence in the discharge of Our office.”
” At the start of this work entrusted to me by the Servant of God John Paul II, I wrote to Sister Lucia of Fatima through her Bishop as I couldn’t do so directly. Unexplainably however, since I didn’t expect an answer, seeing that I had only asked for prayers, I received a very long letter with her signature – now in the Institute’s archives. In it we find written: the final battle between the Lord and the reign of Satan will be about marriage and the family. Don’t be afraid, she added, because anyone who operates for the sanctity of marriage and the family will always be contended and opposed in every way, because this is the decisive issue. And then she concluded: however, Our Lady has already crushed its head.”
Indecent exposure: the ‘gender identity’ agenda

“War is Peace; Freedom is Slavery; Ignorance is Strength.
This was the slogan of George Orwell’s fictional English Socialist Party… timeless dystopian novel “1984.”
Orwell depicted a mind-control technique employed by INGSOC called “doublethink,” which “describes the act of simultaneously accepting two mutually contradictory beliefs as correct, often in distinct social contexts.”
If the malleable masses could be made to believe self-contradictory, patently absurd and empirically impossible concepts as true, went Orwell’s thesis, they could then be made to believe, or do, anything.
We have entered an age that George…
The greatest tragedy, for those who lost their life in Orlando, Florida, was to be caught off guard, immediately robbed of life, unprepared, and faced with an unprovided death. How cruel is the father of lies. The leftists, for years, have cleverly encouraged homosexuals to also cry out “Islamaphobia”. Eyes are opening in Phoenix, about persecuting truth, while inviting in your own demise. False charity has cost these murdered brothers and sisters in Christ, to never again have the opportunity to reflect on many truths including the truth that Professor Lopez was trying to communicate. The devil has always been an equal opportunity destroyer.
“Where do we belong? An ex-gay Catholic reflects on the Orlando massacre

We were not born “gay,” and we were not born damaged; we may have been hurt along the way, but, like the rest of humanity, we can recover and heal.
We do not belong to an identity, we do not belong to a movement, and we do belong to a group. So don’t talk to us as if we do. We belong to God.
Is there any one brave enough to show us the way?
Forty-nine precious lives were lost in one night, but since the HIV epidemic began, an estimated 311,087 “gay” men with an AIDS diagnosis have died, including an estimated 5,380 in 2012.
