Evil Feminist Ridicules Church at "Catholic" School

[Cardinal Newman Society] Abortion advocacy, support for euthanasia and applause for excommunicated and “ordained” women priests—such were the highlights of last week’s “dialogue” with radical feminists Gloria Steinem and Bell Hooks on the Catholic campus of St. Norbert College in De Pere, Wis.

The event was held in the College’s campus theater on April 21, despite initial exposure by the Cardinal Newman Society last October, public protest by Bishop David Ricken of the Diocese of Green Bay in January, and assurances from the College that Steinem was invited only to headline a “discussion of the history of the women’s movement, especially as it may be understood in the context of domestic violence.”

Bishop Ricken lamented that Steinem’s “whole career and life is a grand affirmation of the pro-abortion movement.” And the Newman Society called on the College to rescind Steinem’s invitation, stating that its refusal to do so “adds insult to injury by disregarding Bishop Ricken.”

Nevertheless the College went forward, and the activists’ dialogue, titled “Talking Together: A Legacy of Solidarity,” predictably highlighted contempt for “patriarchal religions” and pushed support for abortion rights and euthanasia. A video of their dialogue indicates that Steinem and Hooks barely touched on the subject of domestic violence but focused instead on “reproductive rights” and societal ills caused by the patriarchy.

This is horrific.

Again I bring to you and your reader's attention that St. John's University and the College of St. Benedict across the river in Minnesota also continue to lose their way. President Michael Hemmeseth has told me he has no interest whatsoever in aspiring to land CSB/SJU on the Newman Society list of great Catholic Colleges--none.

Time to pull the plug of so-called Catholic colleges.

If there were just faithful bishops and priests, this would never be allowed to go on, ad nauseam.

Bl. Cardinal Newman, pray for the conversion of the apostates in your eponymous 'society'.

Are you saying the Cardinal Newman Society is heretical?

Very costly indeed this "dialogue with the world" by the post-conciliar church.

This is the woman who boasts of having killed her children, and who encourages other mothers to kill theirs.
