Yesterday while marching I had a conversation with a gentleman, a Catholic from Baltimore, carrying a little boy on his shoulders. I commented on the number of young people at the march and the danger of them being perverted when they go to college. He agreed. Yes, sad to say, colleges today are hell holes where student dorms are more like brothels than homes and classrooms are indoctrination centers for liberalism and relativism. And they've been that way for a long time. I could tell some dicey stories from my oldest two's experience of dorm life at the University of VA! Even most Catholic colleges scandalize students and lead them down the "primrose path of dalliance."
One example: Next month The V-Monologues will be produced on many college campuses leading students to grunt and groan in simulated sex and fill their minds with filthy images under the masquerade of fighting violence against women. How a play that glorifies lesbian seduction can be seen as non-violent is beyond me. The play is about making young women animals in heat -- for each other. Psychological and spiritual violence can be more deadly than the physical kind. A soul alienated from God is a sad thing. (Read Dr. Faustus.)
The Cardinal Newman Society which addresses the problems on Catholic campuses solicits prayer warriors to support them in their battle to restore the faith on campuses darkened by the secular world's fascination with depravity. Go here to sign up and offer prayers and encouragement for their work. If you can make a donation all the better. Pray for our young people. Those who embrace the culture of death mostly don't have children; they want yours. Don't make it easy for them!
I live in Ave Maria, FL. The Ave Maria University has been ranked as the most Catholic University in America last year . . . and I went "whaaaaaat?!". I don't believe that there is such thing as a real "Catholic" university in America, but if they ranked the Ave Maria University as the most Catholic one when I don't often see the modesty in female students' dresses (which of course leads to the temptation for male students), I then have to really wonder what other Catholic universities are like.
ReplyDeleteWe should go back to the old school: boys' school and girls' school separate. Women goes to women's colleges. Oxford doesn't accept female students. Female students learn about modesty instead of that stupid "sex education".
May all students know God, and the leaders of universities fear Him!
Ave Maria has its own set of problems. There is something seriously wrong when the founder of Ave Maria, Tom Monaghan, names a building on campus after a big supporter of pro-abortionists and solicits a leading eugenics organizations (Jackson Labs) to locate in town. That deal seems to be dead, no thanks to Monaghan. For more info on the problems at Ave Maria see http://romancatholicworld.wordpress.com/
ReplyDeleteWhen I refer people to the best Catholic colleges, I do not recommend Ave Maria although there are some good things going on there.
I am sure that Indira Ghandi and Margaret Thatcher are astonished to learn that Oxford doesn't accept female students, since they graduated from that esteemed school.
