    Need a college minor in "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered and Queer Studies"? see this Catholic college.



    Been to a Catholic college lately????

    Students at the largest Roman Catholic university in the U.S. can now minor in study of homosexual culture, history and lifestyle. That is because DePaul University in Chicago, Illinois, has begun offering a "Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered and Queer Studies" program.

    Karl Maurer is the vice president of Catholic Citizens of Illinois and an alumnus of DePaul. He says the school's new "Queer Studies" program is indicative of a problem not just with that university but with "the American institutional Catholic Church."


    One would "have to be living under a rock for the last five years not to have noticed the homosexual scandals that are going on within the Church," Maurer asserts. "And it's not just in the seminaries: it's not just in the chanceries; it's in the universities as well, and it really calls into question whether or not the U.S. bishops are serious about rooting out homosexual abuse."

    The homosexual studies classes are in high demand on the campus, and some students say DePaul's "gay and lesbian" course offerings are the main reason they chose to attend the school.

    The main reason. Hmmm. Perhaps these students intend to better recognize and
    safeguard the Church from the "intrinsic evil of homosexual acts and the
    objective disorder of the homosexual inclination" and "faithfully convey
    the clear and constant teaching of the Catholic Church in this area."
