Gays Seek Role on Catholic Campuses
From the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review:
When the Vatican announced it would start banning priestly candidates with "deep-seated" homosexual tendencies, Duquesne University student Jonathan Danial thought it was a big mistake.My Comments:
But he didn't worry that the Vatican's hard line would affect him and other gay students at Catholic universities -- a belief that was bolstered last week when Duquesne University announced it will allow a new Gay-Straight Alliance organization.
Matthew Pratter, who proposed forming the group, said Duquesne supports gay students, and he sees no sign that the Vatican's sentiments are trickling down to the campus.

"... no sign that the Vatican's sentiments are trickling down to the campus."
Indeed, I see no sign that Vatican "sentiments" on most matters are trickling down to the so-called "Catholic" colleges and universities in America.

After seeing the Benedict approved appointments in San Francisco and Reno, and ESPECIALLY at the Jesuit run Santa Clara University, I'm none too sure if we'll see any changes anytime in the soon.
In all sincerity, I hope to God I'm wrong
Hello there. Matthew Pratter, the Duquesne student here. I would like to let you know that in context my statement meant that it wasn't effecting gay students as the school's interpritation of the papal statement applied to clergy, and we are not clergy.
