Thanks for posting this! A lot of good information here.

All should take note of the vindictiveness of the liberals who run the pseudo-Catholic institutions of higher education.

"What bothers us," says Monika K. Hellwig, a former professor of theology who is president of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities, "is that they think we're not properly Catholic."

And they're RIGHT! Most mainstream Catholic colleges have gotten so concerned about being accepted by 'academics' that they've forgotten that most of today's 'academics' are anti-Christian! In order to please them, the Catholic colleges have had to do things which are totally against what the Church teaches! They claim to be doing it in the 'spirit of free inquiry', but they don't have to have this stuff on their campuses. their students can get that crap anywhere! The Catholic campus is supposed to be a respite from that garbage!

Kudos to Ave Maria! I got the letter from Fr. Fessio two years ago talking about the new college and asking for contributions, and I signed up right away. It may not be much, but every little bit helps!

We had a small all-female Catholic college in our town that was dominated by feminist, attended by many lesbians, and actively undermined the teachings of the Church. The school finally failed financially last year but not before lightning struck the cross off the top of the main building on campus. Probably not a sign from God but at least it removed the cross from this wretched institution.

GREAT article! Good read. I may have to think about rejoining the ranks of college-goers...

"What bothers us," says Monika K. Hellwig, a former professor of theology who is president of the Association of Catholic Colleges and Universities, "is that they think we're not properly Catholic."

Because they are not "properly Catholic."

The Rev. Charles L. Currie, president of the Association of Jesuit Colleges and Universities, says the new institutions "tend to get very judgmental. There is much more authentically Catholic going on at Catholic universities than Joe Fessio would give us credit for."

Really? Like what? The Vagina Monologues? Is that "authentically Catholic?" I don't think so.
