Second, catholic ES, MS and HS were open for in person school all year. There were no large outbreaks and no associated deaths.
Third, get vaccinated and you don’t have anything to worry about.

Thank you!!!! My very R employer however had multiple outbreaks during the pandemic. After they knew the risks. It’s astonishing how this is turning into a “Catholic” thing. We had 1 death and that occurred at the beginning last year when it first started and we were completely shut down everywhere.

Even more unfortunate that a self proclaimed Catholic would imply this.

I went to Catholic school my entire life, including college, and I know plenty of people who try to stay in the church by cherry-picking their beliefs as a way of making themselves feel better for the church's crappy track record against victims, women, and LGTB. You don't "ignore" the beliefs of the church. You make a conscious choice to uphold the status quo, shut your mouth, and swallow the hypocrisy.

Except you don't shut your mouth. You talk, you challenge, you do the work. You don't just shrug and turn your back or run away.

I agree. I fail to understand why many Catholics continue to support an institution whose values are contrary to theirs. There are plenty of other Christian denominations with more balanced views on these issues.

Catholicism is way of life that Catholics believe was established by God himself and passed down via the Apostles and their successors to the present day. Other “christian denominations with more balanced view” have their origin in purely human tradition and a departure from the Apostolic faith. The vast majority of persons who challenge Catholic teaching are utterly ignorant of the philosophical, theological and traditional foundations underlying those beliefs, and absolutely unequipped to challenge the millennia of thought and debate by brilliant people that led to those teachings. The Church is far more than an “institution;” indeed, the institutional aspect of things is only the framework for the teaching, governing and sanctifying of the body that is the people of God.

Catholics believe that regardless of the human flaws of the people in charge of Church administration, the Church itself cannot err in matters of Faith or morals. By contrast, the “values” that seem to contradict Church teaching most often find their basis an excess of sentimentality masquerading as the virtue of charity rather than a coherent moral analysis.

WASHINGTON, D.C.: American University, George Washington University, Georgetown University, Trinity Washington University

Marymount University is also requiring it. But they are in Arlington.

While I believe that all colleges should make the vaccine mandatory and that CU not doing so is annoying, it's also true that CU isn't exactly planning on going easy on the unvaccinated.

https://communications.catholic.edu/coronavirus/index.html

I suspect that in the end the large majority of CU students will get a vaccine.

Beyond that, the country's most prominent and highly respected Catholic universities, Georgetown and Notre Dame, both require the vaccine.

Using CU's decision to not require the vaccine as an excuse to bash the Catholic Church more generally is Catholic bashing, plain and simple -- a long tolerated activity on the DCUM website.

Because only Blacks get Covid.

No dummy because CU is located near black neighborhoods.

Actually, “black neighborhoods” (I didn’t know there was a residential race test) are located near CUA, which has been around much longer than most homes in the area and is in many cases the reason the homes were built in the first place.

"Right to life" is complete BS. All they are is pro-pregnancy. They don't care about the mom's life, they don't care about the kid's life after he's born. And heaven help ya if you want to talk about reducing the numbers of pregnancies (and thus also the number of abortions) in the first place through birth control. One of the most successful measures in the nation at reducing abortions was Colorado's program to make free birth control available. Worked FAR better than anything the so-called "pro lifers" ever came up with. They need to just shut up and step aside.

You might want to don little research before spouting off the accepted talking points.

White evangelicals are far more likely than white Catholics to follow QAnon.

X 1000000

Not to mention death penalty that many support (or at least do not speak out on/demand an end to) and various other programs to help people that are opposed by the "right to life" crowd. The whole thing is a sham.

100% agree. It's garbage. Hypocrites to the max.

So 2 out of 3 Catholic universities in DC require it.

2 out of 5 non Catholic schools do require it ([American and GW) and 3/5 (Gallaudet, Howard, UDC) don’t.

Seems pretty clear that you have an agenda and are twisting facts.
