Nearly Half of Catholic Universities Host Pro-Gay Clubs

 

Out of 211 Catholic universities and colleges in the U.S., at least 96 have pro-homosexual clubs on campus. That's according to a study by The American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP).

Georgetown University, the nation’s oldest Catholic university, plans a new center for homosexual students; the university already has a pro-gay club.

Patrick Reilly, president of the Cardinal Newman Society, said there has been a significant increase in homosexual activism on Catholic campuses recently — even though many still maintain biblical standards.

“These groups tend to celebrate the homosexual lifestyle and promote a social environment that condones homosexual activity,” he told CitizenLink. “That is inconsistent with a Christian university’s responsibility to encourage chastity and students’ moral formation. It would be more appropriate to provide faithful pastoral care for students wrestling with their sexuality.”
