Some cite Catholicism as inspiration for ‘trans’ policies.

When a media storm hit last fall after word leaked that a prominent Catholic women’s college in Indiana planned to admit males who identify as women, the school’s president seemed puzzled.

“We are by no means the first Catholic women’s college to adopt a policy with this scope,” Saint Mary’s College President Katie Conboy wrote in an email message to students and staff.

Conboy was right: The policy — which conflicts with Catholic Church teaching and Pope Francis’ repeated condemnation of what he calls gender ideology — has quietly become the norm at Catholic women’s colleges in the United States.

Five of the eight Catholic women’s colleges in the country explicitly say so on their websites. Two others don’t have such a statement on their sites, but an organization that aims to create “more inclusive LGBT-friendly colleges and universities” says officials at those institutions have confirmed that they accept transgender applicants.

We'll see how this looks tomorrow when cardinal Fernandez releases his new missive that supposedly will touch on the same issue.

I'm not eager to read that document. So somebody tell me if it's so good it's a must read or so bad it's a must read. Otherwise I'd prefer to skip it.

I plan on looking into it but I’m sure the news will be swamped with it when it comes out.

NO MEN!!!

Women’s colleges are for women. Not men who pretend to be women. This is absurd.

I accidentally wrote 'tomorrow' but it's Monday. So about one day and six hours. Happily I will be on a job all day and will have a reprieve.
