Holy Cross College Hosts on-Campus Planned Parenthood Workshops, Awards Pro-Abortion Governor
Yet another Jesuit run college violating Catholic Church teaching
Jesuit-run Holy Cross, the oldest Catholic college in New England, is hosting the 2007 Teen Pregnancy Institute with Planned Parenthood promoting teenage contraception. The Massachusetts Alliance on Teen Pregnancy presents the conference every year, but by hosting the conference the Holy Cross Jesuits are sending the message that they have no qualms with its promotion of contraception and the presence of Planned Parenthood, which are intrinsically inimical to the pro-life teachings of the Catholic Church.
At this year's conference - scheduled October 24, from 8AM - 4 PM - "Messages that Matter: Strengthening Prevention and Supporting Young Families," Planned Parenthood is scheduled to give 3 "workshops"; one of which includes a seminar on how to "Learn the latest and greatest of protection methods." (see copy of brochure here)
Good Jesuit, Bad Jesuit has more:
In addition, pro-abortion Governor Deval L. Patrick will appear at the conference to receive a "Leadership Award" and speak to the conference attendees. Unfortunately Holy Cross has a history of tolerating vociferous promoters of abortion under its President, Rev. Michael C. McFarland, S.J. In 2003, McFarland defended not only Holy Cross' invitation of pro-abortion political commentator, Chris Matthews, the host of MSNBC's "Hardball," to speak at that year's commencement, but also bestowed on him an honorary degree despite his univocal statements on several occasions "I am pro-choice." McFarland falsely stated Matthews's views were "a matter of practical judgment" and "allowable in Catholic thought," because he felt abortion was immoral, but disagreed that the government should stop it.

My Comment: We, as Catholics, know that it is wrong to support artificial contraception and to accept the lies of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, the largest abortion provider in the country, running about 190 abortion facilities nationwide. Planned Parenthood perptuates the culture of death in our nation today. PPFA’s entire business relies upon sex education. By teaching kids a perverted philosophy of human sexuality, PPFA breaks down natural inhibitions, which then leads to greater promiscuity. They sell sexual perversity to our youth. As a result, PPFA then increases its customer base for artificial birth control, including abortion. A long-term effect of such education is that it tends to create citizens who will support Planned Parenthood’s agenda, promoting the contraception / abortion mindset and lifestyle. which are contradictory to the teachings of the Catholic Church.
For more information on Planned Parenthood, please read The Ryan Report. To view an example of some of the educational activities Planned Parenthood promotes for your children, go here.
The papal encylical Humane Vitae instructs us that artificial contraception is intrinsically opposed to the will of God. Also, as mandated by the United States Bishops (USCCB), Catholic universities are forbidden to give platform to pro-abortion and pro-contraception speakers. Let us all work together on this to promote the truth. Please join me in writing a letter in response to this to both the Jesuit Superior as well as the President of Holy Cross College.
