Catholic college won’t defend student threatened with gay rape for defending marriage
LifeSite News ^ | March 19, 2018 | Claire Chretien

Catholic college students are threatening, harassing, and targeting a Resident Advisor (RA), including with a cartoon depicting him being anally raped, for posting a bulletin board affirming Catholic teaching on marriage.

“I couldn’t even go brush my teeth for several nights without facing a mob in my hallway,” the RA, Michael Smalanskas, told LifeSiteNews.

Providence College, where this is taking place, is run by the Dominican order’s Province of St. Joseph – well-known in most places for its orthodoxy. However, in response to repeated vandalism of the bulletin board and other student employees threateningly congregating outside the Catholic RA’s door – requiring campus security to move Smalanskas to a safe, undisclosed location – the college’s president, a Dominican priest, said “it belongs to a Catholic college to consider the views of those who disagree with the Church’s teaching.”

Another administrator, Vice President of Student Affairs Kristine Goodwin, sent an email to student leaders on March 14 encouraging them to attend a protest “against homophobia and transphobia,” quoting Pope Francis’ now-infamous claim that the Church should apologize to gays, and quoting Father Timothy Radcliffe, a Dominican priest who has suggested sodomy can be “eucharistic.”

THIS is the product of TOLERATING perversions in the FIRST place.

Yep. Affirming the 'legality' of their acts in Lawrence gave them a perceived license to flaunt it in everyone's faces.

We will never turn back this tide by merely establishing religious freedom for those who don't want to participate, or even reversing forced marriage redefinition. This will have to go back to REcriminalizing sodomy by throwing out Lawrence and letting states again determine illegal sexuality.

I fully understand the orders. We were talking colleges not high schools.

A homosexual threatening to rape someone that doesn’t think like them and do what they say? I’m SO SHOCKED.
