BG45 Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 http://www.thecollegefix.com/post/15142/ A Washington D.C.-based private Catholic university is slated to offer a class next semester that is expected to teach students how to promote and protect abortion coverage provided under the Affordable Care Act. The course, “Regulatory Advocacy: Women and the Affordable Care Act,†is set to be taught at Georgetown Law, and it has upset staunch Catholics, according to The Cardinal Newman Society, which first reported on the new academic offering. “We have long warned about Georgetown scandals that undermine the Church’s strong defense of innocent life,†Patrick Reilly, society president, told Catholic Education Daily. “But here students are being required to work for a pro-abortion lobby, making America’s oldest Catholic university an active agent of the culture of death.†The course will hone in on “regulatory advocacy as it pertains to the implementation of the Affordable Care Act and women’s health,†and calls on students to work with the National Women’s Law Center “to develop projects that will assist in the organization’s regulatory advocacy efforts.†The law center publicly supports Obamacare and its mandate requiring religious institutions provide insurance coverage for abortions and other birth control. The class will be taught by Professor Kelli Garcia, senior counsel at the National Women’s Law Center. She oversees its efforts to “address religious restrictions on women’s access to reproductive health services,†according to her online Georgetown profile. Catholic Education Daily, in reporting on this issue, points out Garcia has written a love poem in honor of Planned Parenthood, supports the abortion mandate, and has proclaimed that institutions that refuse to provide contraceptive coverage are simply using their religion to discriminate against women. It's Georgetown. Why am I unsurprised? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Just more evidence of the consequences of thumbing one's nose at traditional Catholic teachings, and embracing Modernism. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Just more evidence of the consequences of thumbing one's nose at traditional Catholic teachings, and embracing Modernism. Last I checked, the Church's anti-abortion stance is both her traditional teaching and her modern teaching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KnightofChrist Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Last I checked, the Church's anti-abortion stance is both her traditional teaching and her modern teaching. You and Nihil are both right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted October 28, 2013 Share Posted October 28, 2013 Last I checked, the Church's anti-abortion stance is both her traditional teaching and her modern teaching. Yes, but Modernism and modern teaching are not the same thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 Yes, but Modernism and modern teaching are not the same thing. Just to expand on this, since I just woke up from my nap and am feeling rather refreshed: Of course the Church's teachings today (i.e. 'modern teaching') is precisely the same as teachings from previous generations (i,e, traditional teachings) since the Church's doctrines do not and cannot change. Rather I am distinguishing between our traditional, perennial teachings, and the propaganda of Modernism which says that teachings can change. But of course, if a Church teaching changes and is in opposition with traditional beliefs, then we know that it is not a teaching of the Church at all.

dUSt Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 OK, I am just confused on why "modernism" was used in place of "heresy". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nihil Obstat Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 OK, I am just confused on why "modernism" was used in place of "heresy". For the sake of specificity. There are many heresies. I am guessing they are not Arian or Sabellian or Jansenist or what have you. Modernism is one of the common culprits these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4588686 Posted October 29, 2013 Share Posted October 29, 2013 This is clearly the fault of the Sabellians. Anybody who denies that is the true modernist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our poor Secretary of HHS, she's really getting it from all sides. I anticipate her use as a sacrifice to the calls for a head to roll. Especially now with 1.5 million Americans having had their insurance canceled for failure to meet Obamacare's minimum standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there were any serious chance of getting a new HHS nominee through the Senate without a Republican filibuster I'm pretty sure that Sebelius would have been fired. And she should be fired.

Nihil Obstat Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 And should be excommunicated. She certainly should be denied communion under Canon 915. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ice_nine Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 (edited) I'm not sure the process by which a university gets stripped of its Catholic affiliation but someone should get on that like yesterday.
