WHAT STUDENTS LEARN FROM CATHOLIC COLLEGES

Many American Catholic colleges refer students to Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers through their web sites, a lay Catholic group has discovered.

The Cardinal Newman Society, a Virginia-based group devoted to promoting Catholic identity at Catholic colleges and universities, found links to Planned Parenthood, referrals to abortion clinics, and internship offers with pro-abortion activist groups on the web sites of Catholic schools including Boston College, DePaul, Georgetown, Loyola of Chicago, and Seton Hall.

The Cardinal Newman Society (CNS), which has called attention to ties between Catholic colleges and abortion providers in the past, urged the president of the schools involved to remove the links and referrals from their web site. Patrick J. Reilly, the president of CNS, observed: "Faithful Catholics expect Catholic colleges and universities to embrace a culture of life and avoid scandal."


The article lists some of the colleges in question and details what they link, including Boston College, College of St. Catherine (St. Paul, Minn.), DePaul University, Dominican University of California, Georgetown University, Loyola University of Chicago, Loyola University of New Orleans, Our Lady of the Lake University, Santa Clara University, Seton Hall University, and University of Detroit Mercy.
