Notre Dame’s Fr. Jenkins Promises “A Fresh Look” at LGBT Issues
In an interview with the student newspaper, the president of the University of Notre Dame, Father John Jenkins, spoke at length of the university’s decision to not add sexual discrimination to its nondiscrimination clause.
But he cryptically added that it’s time for the university to take “a fresh look” at issues relating to LGBT students.
The decision to not alter the university’s nondiscrimination clause was announced at the end of the last semester and sparked a number of protests including a student led vigil, a number of professors speaking out, and over 100 faculty on campus signing a public letter urging the administration to change its mind.
Fr. Jenkins told The Observer that Notre Dame doesn’t discriminate on the basis of sexual orientation but said that if Notre Dame were to alter its nondiscrimination clause it could “undermine our ability to live in accordance with the Catholic …More

"because we distinguish between orientation and action.”
That is the same rationale which gave us a generation of homosexual child molesting Priests and Alcoholic Bishops in ultra liberal Mainline Protestant Churches who divorced their wives (and children) to move in with their homosexual lovers.

Then you have stats as this,
After examining the official web sites of 244 Catholic universities and colleges in America, the TFP Student Action found that 107 – or 43% have pro-homosexual clubs. TFP Student Action Dec. 6. 2011; studentaction.org/get-involved/online-petitions/pro-homosexual-clubs-at-107-catholic-colleges/print.html
15 percent of the clergy polled listed themselves as “gay or on the homosexual side.” Among younger priests 23 percent did so. Los Angeles Times (extensive) nationwide survey (2002). www.bishop-accountability.org/…/LAT-Priest-Surv…
44 percent of the priests
said “definitely” a homosexual subculture’—defined as a 'definite group of persons that has its own friendships, social gatherings and vocabulary’—exists in their diocese or religious order. ^
