Holy Cross Heresy

Later this month, on October 24th, Holy Cross College, a Catholic college in Massachusetts, will allow the Massachusetts Alliance on Teen Pregnancy to hold a seminar on their campus. This Alliance is completely at odds with teachings of the Catholic Church, but most importantly features Planned Parenthood and NARAL as part of their lineup. The Alliance advocates that yourth should receive “comprehensive pregnancy prevention services” which include access to contraception and comprehensive sex education. This will give Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice of Massachusetts a venue to educate other professionals on how to reaach teens with their pro-abortion message. One seminar presenter has even been know to include devices known as “sex toys” in her talks on college campuses!

You and I can ensure that Planned Parenthood and NARAL don’t get a platform to push their pro-abortion agenda. You and I can make sure that Holy Cross abides by the policies of the Bishops and kicks out Planned Parenthood and NARAL, and doesn’t condone their presence.

The President of the College, Fr. McFarland, has been asked by Bishop McManus, alumni, and students to cancel the event, but he is refusing to follow their request. Fr. McFarland sent out a rebuttal to Bishop McManus saying that he doesn’t see the same way, and that by his interpretation it’s alright to allow Planned Parenthood and NARAL to come to Holy Cross.
