  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

The following is a Catholic Action League of Massachusetts press statement…

Fordham University in the Bronx is one of America’s leading Jesuit institutions of higher learning.

In what must be a first for the Catholic Church in the United States, Fordham President Tania Tetlow is the daughter of a former Jesuit priest.

A supporter of same sex marriage, the ordination of women and the LGBT agenda, Tetlow has characterized the traditional understanding of gender as “fundamentalist.”

She is a friend and ally of homosexualist priest James Martin.

Now, Tetlow has expressed, publicly, her rejection of perennial Catholic teaching on the impermissibility of artificial birth control.

Earlier this month, in response to a student government proposal to allow the distribution of contraceptives on campus, Tetlow stated:

“I will tell you that, like the vast majority of American Catholics, I disagree with the Church on its policy on contraception, but it is the Church’s policy and, as a Catholic institution, we don’t violate that.”

On April 28th, reporter Matt Lamb of LifeSiteNew contacted the Catholic Action League of Massachusetts, seeking a comment.

League Executive Director C. J. Doyle issued the following statement:

“Jesuit higher education in America is in an advanced state of apostasy and has been for decades.

Sadly, I am not surprised. American "Catholic" universities have been the victims of creeping secularism for decades, and we all know the nose-dive the Jesuits took in the 1960s, when they turned into a sort of lightweight religious version of the Weathermen.

All I can do shake my head, and turn them over to God. I have my own personal issues that I must give my energy to, working out my salvation with fear and trembling.
