‘ Unfortunately, many Catholic schools today are victims of radical beliefs and leftist politicians, just like their secular rivals,’ Newman Society says
The LGBT U.S. ambassador to the Vatican will be honored at a modest Catholic college in north Indiana.
This weekend’s graduation ceremony at Calumet College of St. Joseph will be presumably the keynote address by Ambassador Joe Donnelly. Donnelly formerly served as U. S. Senator from Indiana.
The university does no record Donnelly as a speech on its website, but the , Post- Tribune, a local newspaper, names him as the presenter. On Tuesday, The College Fix voicemailed a school standard to confirm that Donnelly is still the scheduled speaker.
While lawmaker, he occasionally voted pro- existence, including for a 20- month governmental limit on abortion. Despite being Catholic, the Democrat supported the LGBT plan and constantly voted to protect Planned Parenthood’s tax dollars.
” I support wedding justice because we are a stronger position and a stronger nation when we support addition, respect, and equality for all Americans”, Donnelly said in 2018 while running for re- election.
Republican Mike Braun won the election, but he lost.
He has recently voted against Planned Parenthood before supporting the pregnancy provider. He has also voted against it in several ways.
Since May 3, two contacted post calls have been sent to the Whiting Catholic College. The Fix inquired about Amb’s potential issues. Donnelly ‘s , political views and what interested the school in bringing him.
The Catholic Church teaches that a person and a person can marry, contrary to Catholic customs.
The Church has affirmed the spiritual perversion of every pregnancy that is performed since the first century. This training has not changed and remains unchangeable”, the Catechism of the Catholic Church states. ” Strong abortion, that is to say, abortion willed either as an end or a means, is gravely contrary to the spiritual law”.
The Catechism further states that the marriage contract, which a gentleman and a lady form with one another as an intimate communion of life and love, was established and given by the Creator as a particular law.
The chief of a Christian education team criticized the college’s selection.
” Not only has Joe Donnelly worked to improve national funding of abortion and embraced similar- sex marriage, which no Catholic college may help, but he’s a Catholic himself”, Patrick Reilly, president of the Cardinal Newman Society, told The Fix via email. ” In that sense, he and the College are’ animals of a beak,’ both claiming a controversial Catholic identity”.
” Unfortunately, many Catholic schools today are victims of radical ideas and leftist politicians, just like their secular rivals”, Reilly said. ” But a growing collection of devout Catholic schools, which we recognize in our Newman Guide, are forming learners in explanation, wisdom, and morality”.
Parents and students can find out which Catholic education institutions adhere to the Catholic teaching principles in The Newman Guide.
” When a college bears ​the label ‘ Catholic,’ it declares its commitment to basic truths”, Reilly said.
However, it violates its own mission when a Catholic college freely chooses to honor a dissident or opposing Catholic.
Donnelly was previously criticized by a Catholic leader.
Prior to Bill Donohue of the Catholic League’s criticism of Donnelly’s appointment as Vatican ambassador,
Donohue cited Donnelly’s record of voting in opposition to Catholic Church teaching.
” Donnelly is not only at odds with the Catholic Church on abortion, he is pro- gay marriage, against religious liberty, and against school choice”, Donohue stated in 2021.
He called him a “rogue Catholic”, who “ended his career in government as a foe of the Church’s moral teachings”.
