Critic Calls University of Notre Dame's 'Queer Holiness' Event a 'Revolt Against God'

 

Curated for you byCP Editors
Good afternoon! It's Thursday, March 16, and today's headlines include the University of Notre Dame holding a "Queer Holiness" event, Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis pushing back on Biden's claim that prohibiting children from obtaining body-mutilating sex change surgeries is "sinful," and author Johnnie Moore discussing religious freedom in the U.S. and abroad.
The University of Notre Dame plans to host an event on March 23 titled "Queer Holiness: An Experiential Christian Anthropology" even though Catholic Church teaching labels homosexuality as a sin. The event, which will feature Anglican priest and author the Rev. Charles Bell, is being promoted by the university's Gender Studies program. 

Bell wrote the 2022 book Queer Holiness: The Gift of LGBTQI People to the Church. "For millennia institutional churches have told LGBTQI people what God expects them to be and how to act. In parts of the church, LGBTQI people remain the subject of hostile questions, rather than being embraced as equal children of God," reads the event's description. "Charlie Bell faces these issues head on. His thesis is simple—to reject the overwhelming scientific and experiential knowledge about LGBTQI people is no longer valid."
John Ritchie, director of the conservative Catholic organization TFP Student Action, told The Christian Post that the event sounded like "an act of revolt against God, an insult to the Blessed Virgin Mary, and a mockery of 2,000 years of Catholic moral teaching." Ritchie further called the event "disgraceful," adding that "it favors sins of lust and impurity and thus insults the holy purity of the Mother of God. 

It's impossible to serve God faithfully, and at the same time wave the rainbow flag." He told CP that the university has a history of allowing "pro-homosexual activities and events that undermine its Catholic identity" while also having "stifled young Catholic voices." Ritchie said he "personally witnessed campus police shut down a display that promoted traditional marriage as the sacred union between one man and one woman" in 2014. Continue reading.
