Sister Jane Dominic gave a talk at a Catholic Highschool regarding the evil of homosexual acts, its causes and effects. Many students and parents were outraged that she was given a platform to speak. Aquinas College president Sister Mary Sarah, O.P., President of Aquinas College has released a statement pretty much putting down Sister Jane Dominic’s saying “Her deviation into realms of sociology and anthropology was beyond the scope of her expertise.”

Sister Dominic was BRAVE AND BOLD. Aquinas College obviously did not agree with her comments regarding homosexuality or at the very least her approach. The president of Aquinas College writes:

“There are no words that are able to reverse the harm that has been caused by these comments.”

“It is our sincere hope that the community of Charlotte Catholic High School will soon begin a process of healing and renewal, and that all who have been affected by this event will be drawn into profound reconciliation as we approach this great season that commemorates the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ.”

What did she say that was wrong? If the College is to criticize the good sister then I think they should cite SPECIFIC errors in her speech. After reading the College’s press release, I find it very hard to believe Aquinas College is on the Catholic side of the battle. They benched sister Jane Dominic in favor of not upsetting the homosexual agenda. They announced that her speaking engagements have been cancelled temporarily and that the sister has taken a leave of absence. I think Jesus Christ would be proud of Sister Jane because she dared to attack the evils of the homosexual agenda.

Phil Lawler from catholicculture.org writes “this much is clear: After one contentious presentation, an effective speaker has been sidelined. Sister Jane Dominic Laurel is now labeled, perhaps forever, as a “controversial” speaker. Whenever she does resume public speaking, some audiences will view her with suspicion, and her critics will be ready to pounce.”
