"CHARLOTTE, North Carolina (LifeSiteNews) — The bishop of Charlotte, who recently severely suppressed the Traditional Latin Mass (TLM), invited a popular heterodox influencer priest to “evangelize” his diocese.
Just before Bishop Michael Martin’s crackdown on the TLM, Catholic News Heraldshared that Father Casey Cole, OFM, along with two fellow Franciscans, would be moving to Charlotte to evangelize young adults “outside traditional Church settings.”
Cole, who has amassed a large social media following over the course of his decade-long online teaching ministry, is frequently praised by Catholics and non-Catholics alike for his skillful apologetics and has even been credited by a number of people for their conversion to Catholicism.
However, Cole has also drawn criticism from orthodox Catholics like apologist Trent Horn and author Kennedy Hall for at times portraying the faith in a misleading or confusing way, even giving the impression that certain moral teachings are not clear cut and often contradicting himself as he does so.
For example, he has defended divorce in certain circumstances, claiming in a video that “Catholics allow divorce in certain situations,” that it “is sometimes the advisable thing” and that “in certain cases the Catechism even says that it’s permissible.” Rather, the Catechism of the Catholic Churchstates that “a ratified and consummated marriage cannot be dissolved by any human power or for any reason other than death,” and that the separation of spouses – not divorce – is permitted “in certain cases provided for by canon law.”
Cole has downplayed the importance of sacramental confession, saying that it is not “technically” necessary. “Is it necessary to confess your sins to a priest? Technically, no.But you still probably should,” Cole said in a March video.
In April, he discouraged the practice of going to confession before Mass. While he acknowledged that this is necessary when one is in mortal sin, he called the practice of otherwise doing so “bad Eucharistic theology,” because it isn’t necessary when one has only venial sins. According to Cole, the practice of going to confession in order to purify oneself from venial sins before receiving our Lord makes the Eucharist a “prize for the perfect.”
“You don’t need to go to confession before Mass,” Cole wrote as a caption to his Instagram video post.
The Franciscan priest has also been seen as undermining Church teaching by claiming that Scripture “make(s) any definitive statement about homosexuality difficult to make,” and that, “According to the prophet Ezekiel, the reason Sodom was destroyed had nothing to do with sexual misconduct or faith but everything to do with greed and injustice.”
This declaration prompted Horn to respond with a rebuttal video explaining why Cole is “wrong about the Bible and homosexuality.” Horn pointed out that the Catholic Church has clearly and definitively prohibited homosexuality as gravely immoral, with several Scripture passages as support. For example, Horn noted that Ezekiel said of the men of Sodom, “They committed abomination before me.” The same word “abomination” is used to describe homosexual acts in Leviticus 20:13, Horn pointed out.
Cole has also claimed that one does not “have to be religious,” let alone Catholic, “to lead a good life,” while answering questions from atheists.
“Do you have to be religious to live a good life? No, not at all,” Cole said in a video posted last year on his YouTube channel, “Breaking in the Habit.”
“There’s something inherent in our world that tells us that murder is bad and generosity is good,” said the friar, stunningly giving no further context to point out that many grave sins are currently overwhelmingly practiced by non-Christians, including fornication, contraception, divorce and adultery, and pornography, to say nothing of other common sins like abortion and detraction.
The Franciscan priest has taken a stance on purity that could be dangerous for unmarried couples, claiming in a video that while certain things, like sex before marriage, are “always inappropriate, most things are a bit more relative.” As an example, he said that for some people, “sitting on the couch and falling asleep in each other’s arms while watching a movie could be entirely wholesome.”
Cole has additionally shared that he “almost never” prays the rosary, and in his now-deleted X account, he indicated he would never offer the Traditional Latin Mass, as traditional commentator John “the Son of Thunder” has documented in a YouTube video.
John pointed out that members of Cole’s religious order, the Franciscan Friars of the Holy Name, have offered “pride” Masses in honor of homosexuals.
A member of the diocese of Charlotte known to LifeSiteNews believes Bishop Martin’s welcoming of Cole to the diocese, just as he cracks down on the Traditional Latin Mass, helps to paint the “bigger picture” of the bishop’s agenda.
“The diocese is being reworked into the theological vision of the bishop,” the parishioner remarked."'

Another state is about to become a center for those morally and spiritually confused folks who want to kill themselves -- "legally"!
If I can take a guess, Demonrat Governor, Hochul, will sign this monstrous bill and allow more people to take their own lives and potentially end up in hell for all eternity.
New York state is about to join several other states (11 of them!!) that already enable people to kill themselves! In fact, Oregon has just enacted a "law" that invites citizens of other states to come into Oregon and take their own lives!! In other words, you don't even have to be a resident of the state to "take advantage" of self-inflicted death.
Of course, this is all about human rights, correct?
But what about the rights of God Almighty?
Those rights never seem to enter into any discussion, especially when it comes to matters of life and death...
As I said earlier, I think Hochul will sign this diabolical bill into "law," mainly because she has proven herself to be a master of the culture of death in New York, serving her real master, Satan, being a radical pro-abortion baby killer as well as fostering the sodomite agenda.
Please read this article from lifesitenews.com and written by Calvin
"ALBANY (LifeSiteNews) — The New York legislature has given final approval to a bill to make New York the latest state to allow assisted suicide, requiring only far-left Democrat Gov. Kathy Hochul’s signature to become law.
The so-called “Medical Aid in Dying Act” would allow patients given a prognosis of six months or fewer to live to be prescribed euthanasia drugs, upon affirmation by two doctors that they have “decision-making capacity.”
“I’m overjoyed that the Senate is now joining the Assembly in passing the Medical Aid in Dying Act — a truly historic and compassionate step forward for New York,” said Assembly sponsor Amy Paulin of the bill, which has the endorsement of the Medical Society of the State of New York, New York State Academy of Family Physicians, the New York State Psychiatric Association, the New York State Nurses Association, the New York State Bar Association, and Women’s Bar Association of the State of New York.
“After more than a decade of advocacy, we are finally on the brink of giving terminally ill New Yorkers the autonomy and dignity they deserve at life’s end,” Paulin, a staunchly pro-abortion Democrat, said.
Many have a considerably more negative view, with the New York Post editorial board urging Hochul to veto and warning that the bill contains “no real mechanism for tracking how many deaths it brings: Some commissioner is supposed to review a ‘sample’ of patient medical records and produce a yearly report to the Legislature on how it’s going; that’s it.”
“Beyond the details, this is fundamentally about a reinvention of the medical profession: Out goes ‘do no harm,’ in comes a ‘calculation’ as to whether a given life is still worth living,” it continues. “With the state, and insurance companies, having a clear financial interest in ending ‘marginal’ lives and those whose care costs ‘too much.’”
Last month, Bishop Joseph Strickland reminded New York that “[t]rue compassion does not eliminate suffering by eliminating the one who suffers. Rather, it means walking with the sick and dying and offering authentic palliative care, emotional support, and spiritual accompaniment. It is in these moments – when we are most vulnerable – that we must be reminded that our worth is not measured by our health, our productivity, or our independence, but by the fact that we are beloved children of God who are made in His image and likeness.”
Patients Rights Action Fund (PRAF) executive director Matt Vallière recently described how current euthanasia programs in the United States constitute discrimination against patients with life-threatening conditions in violation of the Americans with Disabilities Act, as when a state will “will pay for every instance of assisted suicide” but not palliative care, “I don’t call that autonomy, I call that eugenics.”
Live Action’s Bridget Sielicki further notes that “because a paralytic is involved, a person can look peaceful, while they actually drown to death in their own bodily secretions. Experimental assisted suicide drugs have led to the ‘burning of patients’ mouths and throats, causing some to scream in pain.’ Furthermore, a study in the medical journal Anaesthesia found that a third of patients took up to 30 hours to die after ingesting assisted suicide drugs, while four percent took seven days to die.”
With the addition of New York, 12 U.S. states plus the District of Columbia will allow assisted suicide, according to the Post. Another bill to legalize euthanasia recently failed in Maryland, however."

Even before the end of the unnecessary -- and demonic Second Vatican Council (October 1965), as a high school senior, I was beginning to get indoctrinated into the changes, not only in the liturgy, but also noticing that sodalities slowly but surely began to be relegated to the dust bin of history.
So, by the time I entered the Air Force in July of 1965, the time-bombs of the council were already beginning to explode and set in motion experiments of the sacred liturgy culminating in the protestantized "new mass" of 1969-70, concocted by a heretic Freemason, Bugnini, and foisted upon a shocked Catholic laity causing unparalleled trauma and despair!
The rest, as they say, is history...
The attacks on Tradition and the traditional Latin Mass in particular, have continued unabated to this very day.
Under the heavy-handed, Bergoglio, those modernist "bishops" found favor with the pope by either cancelling or severely restricting access of the faithful to the TLM.
Sad to say, those attacks still persist even under Leo XIV...
Some say to give him a chance -- a wait-and-see attitude.
Okay, I can go along with that, but so far, some of his appointments are distressing to say the least, if downright insane, e.g., putting females in charge of a dicastery over male religious and the formation of priests!
Will he intervene and stop or slow down these rogue "bishops" and allow the Mass of the ages and of the Saints and Martyrs to flourish again?
As of this writing, there may be some indication of that, but, as the following article illustrates, the ethos of the modernists continues in full swing!
Fr. Perricone pulls no punches! Read this very carefully...
"Any Catholic with a pulse recognizes that something strange is happening in the Diocese of Charlotte. It has taken a volte-face and decided to walk backward.
Strange, for nothing irks Synodal Catholics more than being accused of looking backward. To them, anything in the Catholic Church that preceded 1965 is anachronistic, in fact, a very offense against God. They kneel at the altar of novelty, embracing its controlling dogma of Progress with its central tenet: tomorrow’s ideas are always superior to yesterday’s. An excrescence of Hegel, you may say.
Perhaps. But you must look further back to the French Revolution. Those cretins sought a bloody do-over of history, daring even to create an entirely new calendar. Their remote inspiration was Jean-Jacques Rousseau who declared, with jagged irony, “sometimes you must force men to be free.” Robespierre and his fellow Jacobins followed that counsel with every thump of the guillotine.
Only one thing from the “past” do the Moderns cherish: repression, quick and thorough. Echoes of that contradiction can be seen in America today: law-fare, virtue signaling, free-speech repression, organized pillaging, and exacting conformity. Any trace of the Old Ways is met with swift retribution and social shunning. Anyone esteeming the Past earns Hawthorne’s scarlet letter—but with a cruel twist: not for disobeying God’s Law but for obeying it.
Invariably, this metaphysical vacuum eventually spawns dissenters—namely: Orwell, Huxley, Solzhenitsyn. Something in the soul of men eventually stirs. A brave few remember. And what they remember is our noble Past—that Past with its truth, its wisdom, its solidity, its beauty, and its conformity with the soothing truths of human nature. A few quickly turn into an army. No longer do they want to worship the advance of time. They crave the Timeless.
This return to the timeless is appearing in shocking numbers, to the chagrin of the aging gatekeepers of the Dead Past. One intellectual light is John Mac Ghlionn of The Catholic Herald, who recently gave this growing trend explosive expression:
We were told the future would be limitless, utterly empowering. We were told we would be happiest with fewer rules, fewer roles, fewer traditions. Just vibes.
But the experiment failed. We’re lonelier. Sicker. Spiritually starved. In place of meaning, we got algorithms. In place of transcendence, we got TikTok therapy. And beneath the saccharine haze of self-care, many young people feel the gnawing presence of something missing.
If ever there was a punch in the gut of the myth of the Modern, this is it.
Which brings us to the Diocese of Charlotte.
Its new successor to the apostles is one of few remaining devotees of a Dead Past—not the ever-new past of truth, beauty, and goodness but a warrior of a past beginning in 1965. He has drunk deeply at the springs of the Modern Project. For him, every single token of the Church’s Tradition, especially in the Sacred Liturgy, is a noose around the Catholic neck, something to be censured. He looks upon it as an obstacle to that ever-evolving Omega Point. Those in the know tell us that he has mastered transactional techniques so emblematic of the Modern Man. For him, all is process, dialogue, performance. With the Moderns, such leaders abhor finality in being. All must be open to perpetual revision lest the Process be frustrated.
This whole sterile and discredited enterprise is on full display in the bishop’s carefully organized assault on the traditions of the Sacred Liturgy. As with all devoted Moderns, his teeth were set on edge when he arrived in Charlotte a year ago (after the premature and mysterious exit of the esteemed Bishop Jugis) and beheld a diocese returning itself to theological, liturgical, and disciplinary sanity.
It is imperative to understand the world that shaped the bishop’s temperament and perspective: his Franciscan Order. While every religious Order in the Church sealed its compact with Modernity, none did it with as much gusto as the Franciscans (except, of course, the Jesuits). Franciscan formation was (and is) a thorough, unrelenting, and comprehensive program in the abhorrence of the Church’s past—theological, moral, liturgical, and artistic. After years of that steady indoctrination, a priest is launched with the zeal of invading paratroopers. As they mount their offensive, their battle plan is a simple one: take no prisoners.
As with all Moderns, these priests will embrace only one part of the pre-1965 Church: its disciplinary machinery. This works well especially with recalcitrant clergy firmly wedded to the timeless traditions of the Church. Esteeming obedience (to be frank, an unnuanced obedience), they instantly conform. Modern bishops depend upon this knee-jerk conformity.
It must be carefully noted that these Modern priests themselves (and bishops) adhere to a highly selective obedience. In the past twelve years, they shouted obedience to the Holy See, while they have routinely disobeyed the Holy See for all the decades preceding. Aside from this self-serving obedience, they would consider obedience to the Church’s doctrinal, moral, and liturgical tradition to be dangerously retrograde.
Many bishops adhere to this Modern mindset. But none match the ferocity of the new bishop of Charlotte. For a bishop who subscribes to the free-floating, give-and-take, non-committal Synodal Listening, he governs like a medieval bishop—with one glaring difference: medieval bishops wielded the sword against those who lapsed in their Catholic beliefs; the Modern bishops wield it against those who do not. Look at the granular intensity of his liturgical bans. It bespeaks an idée fixe which undermines his celebrated, indiscriminate openness to all things. Not him. My, even Mao ruled, “let a thousand flowers bloom.”
Tsk, tsk, Bishop Martin.
The bishop of Charlotte labors beneath the carapace of a hollow and spent theological past. He does not seem to notice that the young people today have rejected his fondness for a Woodstock hippy past, now embracing a Chartres pilgrimage future.
Let me return again to the rousing prose of Mr. Mac Ghlionn:
Catholicism offers what the modern world cannot: structure. Discipline. Mystery. It doesn’t whisper that you’re perfect just the way you are. It demands transformation. It demands submission—to something older, wiser, and greater than you. To be Catholic is to live inside a story. A two-thousand-year-old, blood-soaked, gold-threaded, world-shaping story. It has martyrs and miracles. Saints and scoundrels. Architecture that makes you weep. A God who became man. A carpenter who suffered for your sins. A virgin mother crowned in heaven. Try fitting that into a 15-second Instagram reel. …
You don’t walk into a traditional Catholic Mass and feel like you have stumbled into a self-help seminar with hymns. You feel the weight of two millennia settle on to your shoulders. There are no mood boards, no fog machines, no pastors in skinny jeans offering life hacks. There is only the priest, the altar, the sacrifice, and the silence. A silence that, for many, is more honest than any sermon. …
In a culture obsessed with identity, Catholicism offers identity through surrender. Not the curated, performative kind, but a cruciform kind—dying to self to live in Christ. It’s everything the modern self recoils at, which is precisely why it is so powerful.
My goodness! Move over Chesterton.
The bishop of Charlotte may have forced a turning point. His high-handed absurdities will alert even somnolent Catholics at how utterly passé his draconian pogroms truly are. They will look at his dreams of Modernity and recognize it has produced “bare ruined choirs,” politicized septuagenarians, shuttered churches, vacant seminaries, and whole continents that have drifted from the Faith.
On the other hand, normal Catholics—and even normal non-Catholics—will notice in the Diocese of Charlotte:
Crammed Traditional Masses overflowing with young people and families with armies of children.
A newly-built, multi-million-dollar seminary bursting at the seams with young men, all of whom are born North Carolinians (!).
Parishes and schools teaching the Catholic Faith in all its richness.
Any sane man will ask: Why does this need fixing?
At that moment, they will come face-to-face with the lunacy of the Modern Project. It runs against the grain of man’s very nature: a thirst for the rootedness of truth, beauty, and goodness. While many hold on to the Modern project for dear life, it is fading and will eventually die on the vine.
Alas, many more dioceses will continue to march backward. For us who will only march foreword, there are the spirited words of Msgr. Ronald Knox.
In the late 1950s, he was asked to speak at St. Edmund’s college in Ware, England. His summons to those students was typically restrained in the inimitable manner of Knox, but underneath there was an earthquake:
It is becoming a clear issue in our day, the Church or nothing.
So it is with the religion you are taught here: there is none other than but this. The doctrines which you are taught in apologetics or Christian doctrine class are not a sort of continuation of the gender rhymes; the practices of piety in which you are encouraged are not a tiresome regulation made for you by housemasters. They are the world’s last hope which is committed to your keeping.
They are the giant’s sword…If thou will take this, take it, for there is no other than this. We are a College of outlaws; those who have gone out from us were men who could set their face against the false standards of the world they lived in, who could stem the current of their times instead of being carried away with it.
…we must learn to hold and to wield our boyhood’s sword, the religion of the Catholic Church. If thou wilt take this, take it, for there is none other than this.
You must say: give it to me.
And we shall. Again and again, we shall.
Though Charlotte saddens us, we must not stare at it too long, lest what happened to Lot’s wife happens to our souls.
Remember, we are Catholics of the future.
We march forward, having on our lips the words of one great bishop: Our future is the past."

"Translation is a tricky thing, especially if you’re translating a word that has a seemingly direct equivalent in English. Sometimes the equivalent translation fits, sometimes it doesn’t. Often, it’s a mixed bag. That brings me to the Third Person of the Trinity.
I don’t know when and why the Latin phrase SanctusSpiritus switched from being translated as “Holy Ghost” to “Holy Spirit.” I can understand the translation of “spirit.” You can see it in the word spiritus, and it is sensible to modern ears whereas “ghost” seems almost Gothic. “Spirit” also covers another meaning of spiritus which is “breath,” and it has that elusive quality of wind, water, cloud, and fire, which are symbolic of the Third Person. I wonder, though, if we have lost something in abandoning the word “ghost.”
Those very reasons which make “spirit” an acceptable translation also make it a problematic one. For one, especially to modern minds, it has a connotation of emotion and feeling, almost whimsy. Is it a coincidence that the shift from “ghost” to “spirit” came at a time when our culture shifted our responses to situations from the head to the belly (or farther below) where the emotions hold sway?
A ghost, on the other hand, is definitely a person—someone who speaks to you, commands you. Ghosts are out of fashion now, but they were once part of our culture. I, for one, enjoy ghost stories of the old-fashioned kind. (And, as an aside, if you aren’t doing anything next October, before Halloween, read the ghost stories of Russell Kirk. They will show you what ghosts are really like.)
A ghost haunts, that is, inhabits a place, and the word “guest” is related to “ghost.” He annoys us, besets us, hounds us. His message may be consoling or convicting, but a person is telling you to do something and He won’t let you rest until it is done. Seek to evade him as we will, the Ghost is there. The Holy Ghost, as the guest of our soul, haunts us, as our conscience does—or should do if we haven’t deadened it with screens, entertainment, drugs, sex, and “news.” This is why we invoke the Holy Ghost when we examine our conscience.
A guest can make us uncomfortable. We must ask Him in, make room for Him, and talk to Him. We have to be on our best behavior. It’s a difficult thing to do for a culture bent on distraction and wanting to do its own thing. Perhaps the ghosts we are most familiar with are the three in Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. They came to remind Scrooge of his past, what was really happening in his present, and where he may end up in his future.
A ghost in old stories came to right wrongs, to reveal hidden things that needed correction, to see justice done. He won’t “let sleeping dogs lie,” as we want to do with our sins that “didn’t hurt anyone” or that are so far in our past that they “don’t matter anymore.” A ghost wants the truth revealed and accounted for, no matter who knows or how far in the past—those secrets we hide even from ourselves; those things we would like to forget or overlook; those “skeletons in the closet” (another sobering image) that are the very things we need to confess.
A ghost illuminates our minds to the truth of the present. Nothing is hidden from him; there are no secrets from him. Nothing is private. He sees all; knows all. He shows us the reality of a situation instead of the charade we often make it to be, as Banquo’s ghost did to Macbeth when he came to crash the dinner party.
A ghost, because he is from beyond the grave, reminds us of death—a morbid thought, perhaps, but a salutary one. He knows what is beyond the grave, which is why ghosts often seem to pop up in graveyards. He shows us, as he did Scrooge, what could happen when we die should our course not be altered. It brings to mind those portraits of the saints sitting with skulls on their desks showing us the fleetingness of this life. This is something good for an age that is frightened of death and avoids the inevitability of it either by relentlessly pretending to be young or trying to have it on its own terms. A ghost reminds us that death is never on our terms, for our life was never our own to begin with.
A ghost does not come, pace charismatics, amid fervent bouts of singing and Sister Act hand waving—but in silence. In those moments when we are alone, at the beginning or the end of the day. That soft whisper, that uneasy feeling that something, or someone, is there. He is numinous with that sense of awe you get during a thunderstorm, or when at the foot of the Rockies, or on the edge of the Grand Canyon, or when you stand on the beach and see the sun rise over the ocean. You are small. You are not in control. You don’t know everything.
A ghost, like an angel, reminds you that there is another world out there—a world that is larger and more real than the one on your iPhone, at work, or in your head. You must reckon with it, for it is the Truth.
If these reflections are too melancholy, remember that a ghost can also protect and bring comfort and security, as in the delightful story (and even more delightful movie) The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. Those little nudges we get—“don’t go there,” or “stay away from that person,” or “don’t click on that”—can be the Holy Ghost seeking to guard us. And ghosts don’t always reveal gloomy things, they often tell where hidden treasure is buried, as happens in The Ghost of Dibble Hollow. The Holy Ghost has many riches He wants to lead us to.
In the new liturgical calendar, we mark the weeks after Pentecost as “ordinary time” instead of weeks after Pentecost. Can there be such a thing as “ordinary time” after the Third Person of the Trinity has come to dwell in our souls? Time itself is a sacred thing. Each moment is haunted with fear and trembling, delight and wonder. We cannot waste a moment.
Our Lady is the spouse of the Third Person. A spouse, like a ghost, is a person. A spouse is the one you give your life to and are most intimate with. We imitate Our Lady when we give our lives to the Holy Ghost and become intimate with Him. Your spouse knows the truth about you—all your faults and foibles; your spouse inspires you and calls you to account. Feelings and emotions become subservient to the Truth because of love. When we are wedded to the Holy Ghost, He does the same.
So, while the Holy Spirit is a good translation, it may also be well to call upon Him as the Holy Ghost and allow Him to haunt us, to bring to mind all we have done or failed to do. We can ask Him to come into our lives as a guest and stir us up and tell us what to do now. Let Him disclose his wealth, which He will do if we are silent and listen. And, before it is too late, permit Him to remind us of our death and the accounting we must make of this sacred time we call life."
Another "Catholic" university dives headlong into the abyss of hell!
The following article is filled with the ongoing filth of a once-Catholic educational institution originally based on the great St. Vicent DePaul and is now a hotbed of disgusting anti-Natural Law sins, the same sins that caused Heaven to rain down fire and brimstone on Sodom and Gomorrah!
I have a question: why hasn't "Cardinal" Cupich condemned these modernist maniacs and threatened ex-communication for any Catholic taking part in or supporting these diabolical and scandalous events???
"CHICAGO (LifeSiteNews) — On Wednesday, “Catholic” DePaul University held a “BDSM Sex Ed” event in conjunction with a campus chapter of activists for abortion giant Planned Parenthood.
“Hello Planned Parenthood Generation Action community! Come join us for a fun and educational night discussing what healthy sexual relationships look like for those engaged in BDSM!!! We will be having lighthearted conversation, an open forum for questions, and fun activities for the people!” reads the official description for “PillowTalk: BDSM Sex Ed” on June 4.
Campus Reform notes that Planned Parenthood Generation Action touts as part of its mission bringing what it calls “comprehensive and inclusive reproductive resources for all at DePaul University,” including condoms and abortifacient Plan B pills, as well as information about so-called “pressing reproductive justice issues.” Notably, the group scandalously claims that its activism for abortion and sexual libertinism “aligns with DePaul’s Vincentian mission” (referring to “seventeenth-century France and the remarkable lives of Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac, as well as all those who have followed to serve in the global Vincentian family,” according to the university).
“Among the largest Catholic universities in the United States and the world, our mission proceeds from the heart of the Church and remains grounded in the values and life example of Jesus of Nazareth,” DePaul’s mission page claims, while touting a “diverse, multi-faith, and inclusive community.”
Abortion and BDSM are grave sins and radically contrary to the core teachings of Catholicism, but they are in keeping with DePaul’s recent history. Campus Reform adds that the university is also partaking in “Pride Week 2025,” complete with a “Queer Film Festival,” “Lavender Send-Off,” “Fruity Party,” “Skates Above State,” “Queer Sex Education,” “Spring Drag Show,” and “Queer Sex Education.”
Last year, DePaul hosted “Catholics for Choice” president Jamie Manson as one of several heterodox speakers on a panel convened by Planned Parenthood Generation Action against the school’s campus ban on contraception. In 2019, it offered a class called “Sexual Justice: Lesbians, Gays and the Law,” and back in 2016, the school prohibited College Republicans from erecting “Unborn Lives Matter” posters, claiming the spin on the Black Lives Matter slogan constituted “bigotry.”'
