In a very encouraging turn of events, the Jesuit run University of Scranton has announced it will no longer pay for abortion coverage for its employees.
The school’s President Father Kevin P. Quinn S.J. made his announcement in a statement issued on February 10th in which he said that “it [abortion] is inconsistent with the moral teachings of the Church. …. [Because] The University is self-insured we can, and therefore must, offer insurance plans that are free of all abortion coverage.”
Like clockwork, the numbingly predictable protests from Planned Parenthood and Concerned Clergy for Choice appeared to show their ardent love for the state sanctioned death of innocent children. They held up signs saying, “My Health, My Faith, My Life,” and “Relationships require planning.”
Without the slightest trace of self-consciousness, a witch representing Planned Parenthood had the temerity to say, “The University of Scranton’s decision displays a cruel indifference to the women who work there. When a woman enrolls in an insurance plan, goes to the hospital, or visits her doctor, she should be confident that she’ll get the best care possible. She shouldn’t have to worry that religious restrictions will be allowed to trump her health.”
Not to be outdone in death cult rhetoric a Rabbi Dennis Ross, director of Concerned Clergy for Choice Albany, said that the university should separate its religion from its insurance.
In response to this death cult blather Father Quinn responded, “As a university, we are at our best when we remain a united community that treasures and respects diversity in all its forms and especially in views and thoughts. At the same time, however, we are proudly Catholic and Jesuit. I continue to hold that it is necessary for the University as a Catholic institution to act consistently with the Church’s moral teaching on abortion.”
Those who have watched the steady decline of the once Catholic schools in America and felt the pain of seeing Catholic doctrine denied by the very people who have been charged with supporting and defending the Church have to be elated by Father Quinn’s announcement. I know I am.

The link you provide keeps coming with a “virus detection warning.” Is there another link?
It doesn't do that for me. You could try going to the main page, http://www.coachisright.com/, and navigating to the article from there.
:-D Jefferson and Franklin came up with that one.
“Concerned Clergy for Choice”? O - M - G...and the tragedy is, they don’t even get how offensive to Christian doctrine that combination of words is.
Scranton is where a granddaughter went. She is now a happy married mother. She and her husband loved the school.
>> Concerned Clergy for Choice <<
Nope. I don’t believe this group has a single member.

Of course. It does. But it’s not Catholic.
This is huge news. U of Scranton is a Jesuit school that has been terribly enmeshed in left-wing social issues. Any political incorrectness of any type is a huge breakthrough.

Scranton has a university? Even “just” a college?
