Catholic Education: C**ts & Communism

Posted on Comments

Would you believe that this was part of the curriculum of a radical feminist workshop sponsored by a Catholic University?

 

Marquette University in Wisconsin hosted this “FemSex” workshop last spring and, while the university has announced it will no longer sponsor “FemSex,” the fact that the administration at a Catholic university thought this course was acceptable tells you something about how far the advance of radical leftism has gone in our nation’s educational institutions. From the course syllabus:

FemSex provides a safe space for exploration, encourages honest dialogue, and facilitates collective learning. . . .
Evolving from the long-running, student-led courses at UC Berkeley and Brown University, FemSex seeks to bring the values of empowerment, diversity, and community to the university setting. . . .
Themes include pleasure, health, gender, consent, boundaries, privilege, power, body image, communication, race, class, orgasms, masturbation, sex, kink, and sexual identities. . . .

Week 12: Empowerment, Final Projects, and Wrap Up
4/29
What is power and who has it? What does it mean to be empowered? What are the various sources of our personal powers? We will consider each topic in our curriculum as it relates to women’s empowerment. We will discuss community building and support amongst people, self-esteem, and confidence building.
Each FemSexy will present phe’s final project, a chance to either reflect on personal experiences of FemSex or further explore a top discussed throughout the season. In the past, some of these projects have taken the form of visual art, video, poetry, exploring a new source/form of pleasure, engaging in a difficult conversation around sexuality, and much more — whatever is most helpful to you in processing and concluding your experience. It’s up to you!
As we say goodbye to a season of FemSex, we will discuss where we wish to go from here, within our own lives and communities.
Take-Home Exercises may include:
• Cunt Coloring: Color an anatomical picture from The Cunt Coloring Book.
• Affirmation Assignment: Affirm someone in a manner of your choosing.
• Birth/Adoption Assignment: Talk to your parent(s)/guardian(s) about the experience of your birth, adoption, or how they came to have you.
• Erotica: Crate an anonymous piece of erotica exploring fantasy and desire.
• Pleasure Point: Find a new pleasure point or pleasurable activity, and write about (or express in another medium) the experience
• Empowerment Object: Bring in something that you find empowering to share with the group.

What is this about? It is about campus “Women’s Studies”/”Gender Studies” as programs as a political weapon, as an ideological indoctrination in radical feminism, as a lesbian recruiting operation, and as a campus base for gay-rights advocacy. Feminist leaders have been quite explicit about their belief that lesbianism is the ultimate form of women’s “empowerment”:

[University of California-Santa Cruz Women’s Studies] Professor Bettina Aptheker is the daughter of a famous American Communist, the late Herbert Aptheker . . .
Professor Bettina Aptheker is by her own proud admission both a Communist and a self-described “lesbian activist.” . . . Aptheker’s course syllabus describes lesbianism as the “highest state of feminism” . . . In other words, change in sexual orientation is an inevitable final stage in the development of the socially conscious individual.

Feminism’s relentless demonization of males as unfairly benefiting from discrimination (“patriarchy”) and the celebration of perverse gynocentric fetishes (“a difficult conversation around sexuality,” hint hint) are all about teaching vulnerable women that heterosexuality is inferior, that men are the enemy and that lesbianism is therefore the only way to escape the oppression of “male dominance.” This is feminism as distaff Marxism, as a revolutionary ideology to destroy traditional culture. And this is not an accident:

Allison Jaggar is professor of philosophy and a former chair of the Women’s Studies Department at the University of Colorado, Boulder  . . . Integrating Marxism and feminist theory, Jaggar describes herself as a “socialist feminist” and “activist,” who seeks to combat “the male-dominant structure of everyday life.” . . .
“The political economy of socialist feminism,” writes Jaggar, “establishes that, in contemporary society, women suffer a special form of exploitation and expression. . . . The distinctive social experience of women generates insights that are incompatible with men’s interpretations of reality . . . The validity of these insights . . . must be tested in political struggle . . .”

To be true feminist, you must be a Marxist lesbian. It is difficult to say whether perversion or subversion is more essential to the radical project on America’s campuses, including Seattle University, a Catholic institution that has invited 1960s radical terrorist Angela Davis to speak to students there. Who is Angela Davis?

Angela Davis is the dangerous criminal who helped smuggle weapons into a courtroom, including the shotgun that was used to blow off the head of federal Judge Harold Haley. She is a lifelong Communist revolutionary who embraces America’s enemies and who — surprise! surprise! — is also an outspoken feminist:

An online campaign has been launched by a conservative Catholic group to oppose the upcoming scheduled appearance of Angela Davis at Seattle University, a Catholic institution.
“It would be difficult to find a speaker who contradicts the teaching of the Catholic Church on more levels than Angela Davis,” writes James Bascom for TFP Student Action. “Stalin maybe? She is a notorious feminist, Marxist, communist, socialist who engages in pro-abortion, pro-same-sex ‘marriage’ activism.”

Angela Davis advocates abortion as necessary to feminist revolution:

“Birth control — individual choice, safe contraceptive methods, as well as abortions when necessary — is a fundamental prerequisite for the emancipation of women,” wrote Davis in her book Women, Race and Class.

Angela Davis is anti-traditional marriage, but pro-gay marriage:

At San Jose State University, Davis stated: “Even those of us who are critical of the institution of marriage should be able to say if some people have the right to get marriage, then everybody should have the civil right to get married.”

Hey, Catholics: You have a problem here. Excuse me for observing that the problem goes to the very top of the clerical hierarchy.

There can be no compromise between Marxist radicalism and Christianity. Marxism is committed to the destruction of Christianity.

  2. A few thoughts.

    1. The Pope’s comments have been mischaracterized, yet again, by the MSM and others. Elizabeth Scalia, The Anchoress. As a priest once told me, millions of people hate the Church for what they think she teaches, but only a few hate her for what she actually teaches. http://www.patheos.com/blogs/theanchoress/2013/09/19/pope-francis-wide-ranging-interview/

    2. That being said, Catholic college education is an unmitigated disgrace, to the point where some folks are threatening suits to force them to disengage from the Church. An example of such a person is the author of The Exorcist.

    3. I marvel at this: “heterosexuality is inferior, that men are the enemy and that lesbianism
    is therefore the only way to escape the oppression of “male dominance.” Thus, the proliferation of tattooed dildo-wielding lesbians in Indian River County. Why is a dildo better than the real thing?

  4. When Pope Benedict requested that the world establish a new financial system with a one-world currency it told the tale of how far the church had drifted from Biblical teachings and prophecy. We live in the age of RFID chips that can track every transaction be it financial, medicinal, even if you drink a beer…..it knows and will send a report to the master computer that can be stationed anyplace on the planet, possibly even off-planet. A one-world currency would definitely be a giant step toward the implementation of the RFID system.

    So it comes as no surprise to me that the church would sink to any activity that would generate revenues. Today’s Popes are a far cry from any descendent of the Biblical Peter.

  5. I thought this was interesting, and gives some perspective on the past and current failings of the human beings who occupy the Seat of Peter: http://catholicstand.com/pope-francis-has-single-handedly-destroyed-catholicism/

    An excerpt:

    Pope Stephen VI (896–897), who had his predecessor Pope Formosus
    exhumed, tried, de-fingered, briefly reburied, and thrown in the Tiber.

    Pope John XII (955–964), who gave land to a mistress, murdered
    several people, and was killed by a man who caught him in bed with his
    wife.

    Pope Benedict IX (1032–1044, 1045, 1047–1048), who “sold” the Papacy

    Pope Boniface VIII (1294–1303), who is lampooned in Dante’s Divine Comedy

    Pope Urban VI (1378–1389), who complained that he did not hear
    enough screaming when Cardinals who had conspired against him were
    tortured.

    Pope Alexander VI (1492–1503), a Borgia, who was guilty of nepotism
    and whose unattended corpse swelled until it could barely fit in a
    coffin.

    Pope Leo X (1513–1521), a spendthrift member of the Medici family
    who once spent 1/7 of his predecessors’ reserves on a single ceremony

    Pope Clement VII (1523–1534), also a Medici, whose power-politicking with France, Spain, and Germany got Rome sacked.

  6. Well, the same education that teaches young women these things also disastrously fails to civilize young men. One can hardly blame young women for refusing to couple with the lowbrow thugs and insecure geeks who are the typical product of modern American public school education.

  7. Pope Francis is quite right. You do not win continually reacting to the issues framing of the progressive anti-religion. Christ’s teachings were hardly preoccupied with these issues, and the left seeks to make its own preoccupation with them ours as well. It is important to speak your positions on these issues forcefully and not to back down, but not at the expense of the Gospel, which is far richer and more encompassing. To let the left reduce Christianity to politics is to cede the battle.

  11. ” Marxism is committed to the destruction of Christianity.”

    This reminds me that at least two Communists I know of renounced their political views the moment they realized there was a God after all: (famously) Whitaker Chambers and (later) Marvin Olasky.

  12. Basing things on feelings make no sense, and that is what these people do. I don’t think many of their ‘students’ would stay with them if the understood what they were getting into.

  14. Nothing says cheap Catholic like Marquette!

    “Marquette is a Catholic and Jesuit university in Milwaukee, Wis., dedicated to serving God by serving our students and contributing to the advancement of knowledge.”

    And that’s why they have this disgusting coloring book.

    Along with a gay mafia in the faculty (LGBT and allied sexuality pigs):

    Ed de St. Aubin, Associate Professor of
    Psychology
    Jenn Fishman, Assistant Professor of English
    Stephen Franzoi, Professor of Psychology
    Angelique Harris, Assistant Professor of
    Sociology, Social and Cultural Sciences
    Corinna Lee, Assistant Professor of English
    Shaun Longstreet, Director, Center for Teaching
    and Learning
    Jodi Melamed, Associate Professor of English
    Dawne Moon, Assistant Professor of Sociology,
    Social and Cultural Sciences
    Anthony Peressini, Associate Professor of
    Philosophy
    Marques Redd, Assistant Professor of English
    Nancy E. Snow, Professor of Philosophy
    James South, Associate Professor of Philosophy
    John J. Su, Associate Professor of English
    Amelia Zurcher, Associate Professor of English
    and Director, Women’s and Gender Studies

    How sad to see these “Catholic” universities all go down the drain. Just like Georgetown.

  15. I learned a long time ago to actively distrust anything I heard about the Church from the mainstream media, because half of it was uninformed bullshit, and the rest was outright lies, or (to be as charitable as possible) wishful thinking.

  16. At Marquette – course:

    Studies in Moral Theology: Homosexuality-Christian Ethics
    What is the required book?

    God vs. Gay?: The Religious Case for Equality (Queer Action / Queer Ideas) by

    Jay Michaelson

    “Does the Bible prohibit homosexuality? No, says Bible scholar and activist Jay Michaelson.”

    Who ever saw that coming at Marquette? a Catholic and Jesuit university with a more rabid homosexuality agenda than GLAAD.

  17. Another required book for their Homosexuality course program at Marquette: “Radical Love: An Introduction to Queer Theology”

    Queer theology is more than LGBT people talking about God, according to Cheng, professor at Episcopal Divinity School and ordained minister in the Metropolitan Community Church. The real enterprise for queer theology is challenging binary distinctions and erasing boundaries. This erasure is made possible (indeed demanded) by the radical love espoused by Christianity. Through this love, all boundaries (gay/straight, male/female, life/death, divine/human) are dissolved.

    ……………….;

    See Catholicism! No boundaries, anything goes! Promoting sexual perversion is justified by Christian love! The porn gospel of queer theologists…

  18. I didnt convert to Catholicism (from libralism) because I think popes are good men, I converted because I am convinced that Jesus commissioned the Church to teach infallibly in His name until the end of time. Jesus said there would be sinners in the Church. He chose the obstinate sinner Judas Iscariot to be an apostle. If the Church is an imposture, how has She managed to survive all these years, as Jesus said She would? Of course, there are other ways to interpret the last two verses of Matthew, but that’s why it’s called faith. Without the Church, I would have nothing. I certainly wouldn’t be a conservative.

  19. This quote is attributed to former Israeli Prime Minister Menachem Begin;

    “Our race is the Master Race. We are
    divine gods on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races
    as they are from insects. In fact, compared to our race, other races are
    beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races are considered as human
    excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly
    kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will
    lick our feet and serve us as our slaves.”

    There is some speculation as to whether or not Begin’s actual words were properly translated from Hebrew. However, a corrected translation/proper translation has never been offered; leading me to believe that it is what it is. Thus I have taken a keen interest in the religion of the Freemasons and what it may mean to the future of humanity. I found this interesting;

  20. A comment on Amazon regarding one of these books for the homosexuality course at Marquette asks something I’ve been puzzled at for a long time: “How can you have a “Biblical and compassionate” response when the Bible’s approach to SSA is the very opposite of compassionate? How do you read compassion into Leviticus? ”

    All this talk about a compassionate and inclusive attitude to homosexuals in churches, which always, always comes with normalizing homosexuality and claiming it’s just a minor detail inside a person’s mind, it simply goes against the Bible. Period. No matter how much these “homosexual welcoming” people claim that they are just extending Christian love, they just don’t want to set clear and firm guidelines for healthy sexual attitudes and behaviors and demand everybody follow them.

  23. Something tells me there would have been a different response if the coloring book had been handed out by the Young Republicans.

  24. Anyone claiming to be a Bible Scholar and says that the Bible does not prohibit Homosexuality is a phony. Scripture is unstinting in its prohibition of all forms of adultery, including homosexuality. God order Israel to put such people to death. I’d say the prohibition can’t get any stronger than that.

  25. People like that haven’t the foggiest notion of what Christian Love is. Christian Love compels one to warn of the judgment to come, and the penalty for rejecting God’s provision for sin. God requires repentance which is requires three steps. First, that you acknowledge you have sinned. Second, that demonstrate godly sorrow that you offended against God, the lawgiver. Third, that you confess your sin to God and repudiate it – i.e. “go and sin no more.” Over all this is faith in the finished work of Christ on the cross which results in the new birth, and the fact that the Holy Spirit then indwells you, you are empowered to live a life righteous before God. That does not mean that life will be sin free. That is why the promise of 1 John 1:9 is there.

    1 John also says that no one that is of Christ can engage in habitual sin. For the homosexual to be what he/she is, sexual sin is ongoing and habitual. Such people have bought first class tickets on the long black train.

  30. Fuck God. If social conservatives are truly the one’s bringing us God’s message then God’s rule needs to be overthrown and allegiance given to Lucifer the Light Bringer.

  31. Oh! Go figure!!! Everyone’s favorite crackpot homophobe whose views are in line with Himmler’s is here to talk about “perversion”!
