dspen2005 Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 what school? is there an internet link?
Nicole8223 Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 Wow, that was really disheartening....I just dare them to do that at my school. It'll get ugly...even if I am the only one who makes a fuss!
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted September 29, 2005 Author Posted September 29, 2005 Elmhurst College... There is not an internet link to the article, but if you want to write a lovely letter to the editor, I can send it in for ya! The website for the paper hasn't been updated in about a year... check out the school's page: www.elmhurst.edu the paper's page: www.elmhurstleader.com I hate this school so much. So VERY much... It makes me want to cry... I cannot believe I am continuing my second year here.
MilesChristi Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 My college paper recently ran an article which advocated women's ordination. To the newspaper's credit, they also printed my op/ed column which refuted it.
Extra ecclesiam nulla salus Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 (edited) i hate it when people bash catholicism. call the catholic league. its so stupid they would never say it about jews or muslims or protestants. its such a double standard carp Edited September 29, 2005 by Extra ecclesiam nulla salus
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted September 29, 2005 Author Posted September 29, 2005 Anti-Catholicism is the only form of prejudice and biogtry that is socially acceptable. It disgusts me. I want to write something back, but my gosh, what do I say? I might end up calling him a freakin' idiot!!! (As nice as that would be for me, it would be quite uncharitable)

It is a United Church of Christ affiliated school (Which explains just about EVERYTHING wrong with the school) and it is also in a very progressve/liberal area, and I mean PROGRESSIVE/LIBERAL. There are VERY few that go to the school that are like me in this way... I want to transfer out of here lickety split. Better yet, enter the Cloister. End of story.
toledo_jesus Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 "in keeping in line..." what a doofus. someone should write a letter about his writing.

Dreamweaver Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 Well, after a while, you learn that colleges are notoriously liberal. My school's newspaper, [url="http://www.ndsuspectrum.com/"]The Spectrum[/url] is basically rubbish. Especially last year with all the political stuff... Every week they have a political issue and have a debate. They usually find a centrist to write the Republican view of things. This last issue, one of my friends wrote the republican view of stuff, since he was fed up with the carp that paper usually publishes. One good thing, a crappy paper means I waste less time reading it and more time reading better stuff, like the textbooks and assignments!
Piccoli Fiori JMJ Posted September 29, 2005 Author Posted September 29, 2005 Man o man... things keep getting worse and worse... [quote]To the entire Campus Community all Students, Faculty, Staff and Administrators, At the National Synod Assembly of the United Church of Christ (UCC) this past summer, that denomination voted to recognize marriage equity (Same Sex marriage) formally as a national church policy thus becoming the first denomination to allow for marriage as defined by the church for men and men and women and women. In light of this decision and as Elmhurst College is closely related to the UCC, I have invited regional staff representatives of the UCC and two voting delegates to join the Elmhurst College community to hear what was voted on and why. This informational gathering is to allow many in our campus community to listen and ask questions about what has occurred. Please join this one hour gathering on Wednesday Oct. 5 4pm to 5pm Founder's Lounge of the Frick Center If you have questions or concerns please contact my office and with God's rich blessings, I am faithfully yours, H. Scott Matheney + Chaplain 617-3025 hscottm@elmhrust.edu <mailto:hscottm@elmhrust.edu> [/quote] This was just an e-mail... there are posters all over about this too...
Didacus Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 I always up for good reading, but I must admit some things are better left unread. Might be best then that I can't read the trash in paper 'cause the lettering is too small for my aging eyes. We are the common target these days... why? Because of all groups in the industrialized world, we are the only noticeable one that actually stands strong before the truth! Keep up the good work people, love you all! Stand tall, be strong, be faithful!
Socrates Posted September 29, 2005 Posted September 29, 2005 "Asinine" does not begin to describe this carp. Seriously, why do you go attend this college? Your money might be better spent elsewhere.

zabbazooey Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 This is gross. And ignorant. He should be FIRED.

[right][snapback]741468[/snapback][/right] [/quote] But I could almost guarantee that if the article were [b]defending[/b] the Church's policy against homosexuals in the priesthood, the article would get censored for "hate speech" and the writer would be disciplined. Such is the Orwellian totalitarianism of campus left-wing political correctness.
Winchester Posted September 30, 2005 Posted September 30, 2005 Too bad our Bishops in their weak approach gave them the ammunition they needed. Many have been won over to positions like this thanks to our shuffling suspected and known predators from diocese to diocese. It doesn't matter that every other section of society does this, including our own government (through the ineffective "registered" sex offender program.) It matters that our leadership, like all other leaderships, failed to protect the helpless. Now morons like this can mix some real fact with their bigotry.
