Gonzaga has a Catholic problem. Gonzaga has a Christ problem. They believe they know better than the Church. It is not Catholic in any significant way. And this is not an anomaly. I don’t know of one Jesuit college in the US that hasn’t turned its back on the Church’s teachings on life, sexuality, and gender.
It’s a tragedy.
Gonzaga denied me the ability to table because they claim I don’t “uphold the dignity of the human person.”

How ironic.
I’m the one fighting to STOP babies from being KILLED in the womb.
The real issue is Gonzaga has a pro-abortion problem.

Technically Pro-Life is deficient as only Anti-abortion upholds the dignity of the baby by calling for the execution of the murderous whore. But I doubt that’s what they meant. Even so Pro-Life BS would let Lindsay Clancy go free. Only anti-abortionists would give her the death penalty.
Judgmental much?
And only the pro-abortionist would give the unborn a death sentence rather than the rapist or male fathering a child through incest. There is no rhyme nor reason to a pro-abortionist. Kill a pre-born sea turtle? 100.000 fine and year in jail. Kill a pre-born bald eagle? 250,000 fine and two years in jail. Kill an unborn human child? No penalty. So stuff it until you start making sense.
I don’t think this has ever been about logic. It’s about a belief system and a culture that excludes God and refuses to suffer for life. Enemies are powers and principalities.
You can say it doesn’t make sense, and impose strict laws; the battle is a spiritual one. Laws won’t succeed without prayer and sacrifice on our part. We should work to change society; thus a creative minority report. Jesus called it the pinch of leaven in a mass of dough.
Like the new format, btw
I agree it is a spiritual battle, but we in the world have to fight on a temperal plane also such as instituting laws. Not all laws change the hearts of minds of people, but without laws in our civilization where would we be? Murder still occurs, should we get rid of laws against murder? No not at all, neither laws against theft, rape and so on. They may not stop all of these acts but laws DO stop many people who are more afraid of jail than God. No human law is perfect but that is the way of civilization. Abortion is a deliverate act that takes the life of an innocent human being. We need to enact laws to that end, and in the mean time, try to change the hearts and minds of people about what abortion really is. But in the mean time, laws are needed to stop this endless slaughter of the innocent. We’ve failed in that attempt and see where we’ve ended up. Mothers killing their own born infants and children.
So, your whole plan rests on squishy Republican lawmakers, Bob?
Of course not. I never ever put my trust in ‘princes’, Republican or not, but its what we’ve got to work with like it or not along side with prayer. I never said not to pray or fast in these times, but we are in the world, and our recourse is to work within our laws. We already have laws against murder, our work is to convince others that abortion is murder of the innocent. It makes me wonder sometimes how many people in this country pray for our nation, our president, lawmakers etc, so as to work to work for the common good of this nation and the world. For the ability that they are able to discern right from wrong, good from evil. Yeah Ben, we pray, we try to change our society, and the hearts and minds of people, but in the mean time we work within our laws to protect all citizens, especially the unborn. And thats not done by sitting at home on voting day.
Well said, Bob. Passivity and inaction are not the same as humility and fortitude.
We have to work spiritually as Ben emphasizes and corporally as you emphasize.
I seem to recall the Church has a list of both spiritual And corporal works of mercy.
It’s not always either/or, sometimes it’s both/neither.
This is exactly the kind of contradiction that drives faithful Catholics crazy about Jesuit institutions. If a school claims a Catholic identity, it cannot pick and choose which Church teachings to honor in practice. Hawkins had every right to be there, and Gonzaga’s explanation rings hollow.
