Time Text
The ease with which many religious people abandon core values of their religion in order to blend in with the greater society reconfirms a belief that I have had for quite a number of years that very few religious people take their religion seriously.
They think they do, but it doesn't shape their lives.
It shapes their emotions, it shapes their faith, but it doesn't shape their lives.
So here's a good example.
Another, because this is not by any means the first, Catholic Women's College will accept men who say they're women.
In Indiana.
And they're proud of themselves.
It's quite remarkable.
Do they have a scriptural or specifically Catholic basis to do this?
No.
But it doesn't matter.
They don't answer to God.
They don't answer to the Bible.
They answer to public opinion.
Public opinion.
In the education world is, there's no such thing as a man or a woman.
You are what you say you are.
There's no objective reality to male or female.
We are by no means the first Catholic women's college to adopt a policy with this scope.
What does that mean, with this scope?
This is what the president of the...
The president?
Yeah.
Right.
Katie Conboy.
In drafting the language for this update, I have relied on the guidance of the executive team and others to ensure that our message is not only in line with best practices for today's college students, but that it encompasses our commitment to operate as a Catholic women's college.
Really?
But that's, see, the first part of the message is really the message.
That what we're doing is in line with the best practices for today's college students.
Even in the second part of the statement, she doesn't say, is in line with Catholic teaching.
The announcement drew backlash from students, women, sports advocate Riley Gaines.
And others.
This is the same St. Mary's that wouldn't allow a student-led TPUSA chapter because their messaging on biological sex does not align with the college's mission.
Gaines wrote on X. If I were an alum, I wouldn't give this school another dime.
Riley Gaines is terrific.
Claire Bertag, A junior at St. Mary's told the Daily Signal she is concerned that women will be forced to share bathrooms and living quarters with men.
Well, of course that will happen.
It's already happened.
The narcissist at Penn, Leah Thomas, walked naked in the women's locker room at Penn.
Because he said he's a woman with his genitalia intact and in a saluting state.
St. Mary's College is no longer Catholic, Betag said.
That's correct.
It is no longer a women's institution.
That is correct.
This is fraudulent misrepresentation at best.
Every student should be entitled to a refund for fraudulent misrepresentation.
An attorney should file a class-action lawsuit against the college.
They have abandoned their faith and they've abandoned the women.
That's correct.
Earlier this year, two affiliated Catholic colleges in Minnesota, the College of St. Benedict for Women and St. John's University for Men, adopted a new policy allowing, quote, non-binary, gender-fluid, and gender-nonconforming individuals.
Yes, all three noted in Scripture.
Scripture is filled with references to the non-binary, gender fluid, and gender non-conforming.
