Well, that last part is good.
BTW, Notre Dame University is in Lebanon and there's one in the Phillipines.
The one in South Bend is the University of Notre Dame.
I notice Fordham is not on the list. Why am I not surprised?
The Jebbies at Fordham had a huge "Lavendar Contingent."
"There are a lot of people who subscribe to Catholic values as they relate to academic work, but don't necessarily agree with how the Catholic Church carries out its work,"
Yes, they're called non-Catholics.
What did I tell you about Jesuits
Fortunately the Catholic Church, which is what we're talking about here, has made its position abundantly clear on those issues. The Church is more than just the bible, and that's why homosexuality is a big deal whereas eating lobster is not.
"Eat pork or shellfish?"
You are aware, of course, of Peter's dream detailed in Acts and Paul's letter regarding this same topic, right?
And no, I do no work on the Sabbath.
> Catholic colleges discuss making school a good place for gays
They can always tell them they can have a career in the priesthood..... :)
Thanks for the list. Some of the 'Catholic' colleges can't even be called CINO anymore. It's good to hear that some are still truly Catholic.

Most of the schools mentioned are Jesuit, so it's no surprise at all. But I always thought Emory was secular. What denomination controls?
What's your beef with Fordham?
I went there in the late 80's/early 90's, when FLAG was new on campus (Fordham Lesbians and Gays). There was a big debate back then if they should be granted full 'club' status on campus. I guess they settled that. I for one didn't think it should get university funding. What do I know though. It's still a great school that gave me 4 great years.
My point is that, as a lapsed Catholic, I had little respect for the Jesuits who did a worse job of teaching the faith than the senile CCD teachers of my youth. No wonder there was so much hooking up and screwing going on in the dorms.
On another note, nobody in the NYC area drinks as much as Fordham students. I practically had to call the ambulance four times every saturday night because some chick had a little too much Guiness.

I agree 100% with the way you sum up the student body, but I still had fun. If you were there a few years earlier, you likely would have had to call an ambulance for me one Saturday night! :)
I also agree that the Jesuits didn't 'teach the faith' that well. I was a philosophy major and graduated more confused about my faith than ever before. What was your major?

Please tell me that you never took a philosophy class with Kebley. That guy was awful. Grontkowski was da man!
I loved Grontkowski, though I hold him single-handedly responsible for ruining my penmanship. All those notes!!! I don't remember having Kebley, but I am so bad at names (especially that far back). I really did enjoy the philosphy dept, lots of brilliant minds working there. I just wish I paid more attention and retained more of what I read. What do you do now if I may ask?
I'm sure you're right. The bible and religions that adhere to it are huge hurdles to homosexuals who want total acceptance for their lifestyle. I am, however, amazed at how successful they've been in infiltrating the ranks.
That the RCC is being overrun with this is indeed shocking, as Rome makes no bones about homosexual conduct being evil.
