Catholic University of San Francisco Promotes Abortion, Same Sex Marriage and Contraception

From "Catholic University of San Francisco Promotes Abortion, Same Sex Marriage and Contraception" posted 3/20/07 at Lifesite.net

SAN FRANCISCO, March 20, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The University of San Francisco (USF), a Catholic college, features on the front page of its website a festival that includes at least two films that promote abortion and same sex marriage, and a report by four USF nursing students that includes recommendations for contraceptive use.

"As a Catholic institution, if the University of San Francisco will not support the Catholic position on issues, at the very least it has an obligation to not promote issues that directly contradict Catholic teachings on some of the most pressing moral issues of the day.

"The Church is very clear that abortion is intrinsically evil, that marriage can only be between one man and one woman, and that contraception use is a sin. It is a scandal that USF, an institution that is not shy about touting its Jesuit heritage in marketing materials, would actively work against these fundamental Catholic truths."
