Newman society exposes unfaithful "Catholic" colleges

MANASSAS, VA (April 28, 2004) - Cardinal Newman Society has issued a shocking new report on scandals at U.S. Catholic colleges and universities that is certain to reignite concerns about the colleges' religious character.

The 56-page report, "The Culture of Death on Catholic Campuses: A Five-Year Review," documents inroads made by advocates of abortion, contraception, premarital sexual activity, and physician-assisted suicide onto Catholic college campuses since 1999. It is the most extensive evidence of problems in Catholic higher education ever compiled in a single source-and yet it only scratches the surface, relying primarily on media reports and college websites.

The report is available at the website of the Cardinal Newman Society, an organization intent on restoring fidelity to the campuses of historically Catholic colleges and universities. (Thanks to Oswald Sobrino of Catholic Analysis.)
