Rick Majerus standing by his beliefs

And we thought the Inquisition ended in the 15th century.

How stupid. Rick Majerus is a world-class creep and should not be drawing a pay-check from a Catholic university.

This is the equivalent of a holocaust denier working at Yeshiva. In such a case, does anyone really think the NY Post would be defending the cretin and comparing his opponents to the Sanhedrin?

[demsux]

Shut up and coach...your team stinks right now.

[Antoninus]

So because he gets a paycheck they own him? My employer doesn't tell me what I can or can't say here on FR or anywhere else.

Why are Catholics (and Christians in general) the only ones who have to put up with people who hate them working for their institutions?

[Tall_Texan]

Of course, if the media hates you, would they still characterize you as “standing by your beliefs?”

I think not.

[Northern Yankee]

Well said.

Majerus's comments, about the church needing to be inclusive, completely disregards the stance the church continues to take on the unborn, and stem cell research.

I guess Rick is completely comfortable with the killing of the unborn.

How civilized.

Burke is trying to save souls; Majerus is comfortable destroying them.

[Digger]

Shut up and coach, Rick! If you want to use your semi-celebrity status for a soapbox, get a job coaching at a public university. Maybe Colorado at Boulder, for example.

Right On! Also don't represet yourself as a Catholic. You're a CINO. We don't need your kind in the church.

Psalms 94 speaks about those who “condemn the innocent to death”.

The narcissistic baby-boomer controlled era of liberalism is coming to a close.

Roe v. Wade will be changed in 5-10 years, I believe.

the church needing to be inclusive
****

How can a church stand for something and simultaneously “be inclusive”?

[rhinohunter]

OK, correct me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t this guy supposed to have some gravitas in the world of college basketball? But, if that’s the case, then why is he working at a basketball -er- “powerhouse” like SLU? Which leads me to one of these conclusions:
A) I am wrong and he actually does NOT have gravitas in college basketball,
B) Knowing Burke’s reputation, he has actually picked this fight to give himself gravitas within the rat party for a future in politics
C) A and B

[Oshkalaboomboom]

Of course it's OK.He works for a Catholic university.

So because he gets a paycheck they own him? My employer doesn't tell me what I can or can't say here on FR or anywhere else.

Employees of the Coca Cola corporation have been disciplined for drinking Pepsi on their private lunch break. Dana Jacobsen of ESPN got a week off for a drunken anti-Christian rant at a nonwork event. What planet do you live on where you can embarrass your employer at will and expect them to keep employing you?

Freep-mail me to get on or off my pro-life and Catholic List:

Please ping me to note-worthy Pro-Life or Catholic threads, or other threads of interest.

Re: "Rick Majerus had no intention of creating such a firestorm when he made an appearance at a Hillary Clinton

Right. The guy has been an ignorant leftwing stooge his whole worthless life. Trying to play the innocent now is just rubbish.

[fetal heart beats by 21st day]

The Catholic Church, via his bishop, is his employer. The Catholic Church, via the Bishop, should exercise its duty to correct any representative within its employ. If the employee refuses to conform to his employer’s directives, the Catholic Church should express its free speech and employer rights and say: “You’re fired.”

[Lancey Howard]

Majerus, a highly intellectual person...

Who on earth makes THAT claim? Majerus is obviously a complete moron.

[narses]

You want to work for me, respect me and my views.

[Northern Yankee]

Yep... I think Majerus doesn’t quite understand what he is saying these days.

[Eagles6]

Good post.

Can we imagine, if a coach at a government school showed up at a Republican rally and stated that abortion and embryonic stem cell research are murder and that homosexual acts are intrinsically evil?

Does anyone think that he would have a job the next day?

The Jesuits have lost it years ago.  At St. Peter's College  (e-mail) in NJ, Jesuit priest,  Fr. Robert Kennedy, S.J., professor of theology,  became a zen-buddhist & roshi master while supposedly teaching impressionable young  adults Catholic theology courses.  To this day, the bishops have done nothing to stop this priest.   Parents are paying upwards of $40,000 per year for their children to get a Catholic education and this is what they get for their money?  It's no wonder that so many students who attend liberal Jesuit and other liberal Catholic universities leave the faith.

I can imagine that. At a government school, a coach will not have to agree to a set of beliefs. I think there would be an immediate push for the coach to be fired. I think the government school would have less grounds to stand on in the firing.
