Maybe this was already posted? It's ludicrous of this professor to assert this, of course (and a lot of what he wrote makes my blood boil, particularly that "pro-lifers don't do anything to prevent miscarriages") but worth being aware of!

[NotreDame]

So by his logic we should discredit the anti death penalty crowd if they don't actively funding cancer research?

 

Let's not forget who we are dealing with at ND:

 

 

There are a lot of good Holy Cross priests, but few are running the school.  There are also a lot of fervently catholic undergrad students.  Hopefully the good kids keep coming and the school can find it's Catholic identity again.

Probably wants the abortions for all the women the football players rape.

Rape Culture U.

Can you rape a fake girlfriend?

Notre Dame professor wants Pope Francis to ABC

 

Gays want Pope Francis to DEF

 

Rolling Stone wants Pope Francis to GHI

 

Conservative Catholics want Pope Francis to JKL

 

Liberal Catholics want Pope Francis to MNO

 

Nuns on the Bus want Pope Francis to PQR

 

Vegetarians with arthritis want Pope Francis to STU

 

Left-handed libertarians over six feet tall with red hair and diabetes want Pope Francis to VWX plus Y and Z.

 

 

 

 

And people in hell want ice water!

 

 

 

 

 

The only question I have - and I doubt I'll ever get a direct answer to the question - is...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What does the Holy Spirit want Pope Francis to do?

 

 

[NotreDame]

And ND just got a sermon from the Pope:

Notre Dame, like most universities in America, is a liberal ideologue paradise governed and operated by liberal ideologues.

 

Leftism is a hallmark of the business school, let alone the college of arts and letters. The few non-science/math instructors I had that did not tacitly or vocally advocate central government control and a social justice emphasis for welfare and unemployment policies were in the ROTC building.

Leftist ideologues =/= good ole boy network

If its one thing Notre Dame clings to at its core is its philosophy of closing circles and protecting their own when confronted. A staple of Conservatism.

Hmm...  The business school's last dean was certainly touchy-feely, but the faculty was relatively conservative with the exception of the ethics professors. 

 

I think you will have more conservative catholic professors than many/most other schools and the faith is certainly accessible if you want it (masses are *very* frequent all over campus, as is confession in the basilica), but I can't deny that the center for peace studies makes me want to puke. 

 

It was certainly a conservative orthodox catholic school 50 years ago.  That is changing and it's a bit of a top-down change, but it's not gone fully left yet (trust me, having gone to lefty schools as well, it hasn't.) 

 

What bothered and still bothers me most is that they like to play the catholic card when it's convenient for them (fund-raising), but will drop it like a hot potato when it's inconvenient (obama.)

These statements are true but they aren't really saying anything. Yes, the business facultly is [i]relatively[/i] conservative, relative to humanities professors and professors at state or liberal arts colleges. Is that much of a statement? Meanwhile, you except the ethics professors without accounting for the fact that this department has been the College's unifying emphasis since at least 2009. I wrote an end-of-year essay on the value of profit and self-interest for their own sake, and got called in to the principal's office.

 

My point was to communicate that anyone who's shocked about the thread's subject, shouldn't be. Having been exposed to 720-odd issues of the school newspaper and four exhortations from John I. Jenkins, CSC to "seek a just peace" as a servicemember, the notion that a professor is publicly advocating abortion/gay marriage/contraception/gun control/recreational drug use/state control of the means of production is not a surprise in the slightest.

I wasn't disagreeing... I'm just saying from my point of view it's not yet as liberal as actual liberal schools, but that doesn't matter since just any amount of that from a Catholic source is many times more disappointing  then from a secular institution.

 

The ethics emphasis certainly predates 2009.  I remember one time Woo-woo made a speech where she gushed about how ethical and service focused they were and in almost the same breath bragged about how many undergrads got placed at Goldman Sachs.  Lol.  "Ethics"...  sure....

Sounds like an awful paper.
