Role Models

American society says we need role models for blacks, American Indians, homosexuals, girls who want to go into science and math, et al. But at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, Minn., we don’t need role models for young Catholics.

Their unholy relationship is “no secret,” says the story. They planned a trip to Australia with students.

The University officials are, as they say, “just keeping up appearances.” What a mockery!
