In the March 8, 1955 edition of Look magazine, Rev. Carl M. Chorowsky, minister of the first Unitarian Church of Fairfield, Connecticut, explained the basic tenets of Unitarian theology. Dr. Chorowsky said that, "In general, a Unitarian is a religious person whose ethic derives primarily from that of Jesus, who believed in One God, not the Trinity...Unitarians hold that the orthodox Christian world has forsaken the real, human Jesus of the Gospel, and has substituted a Christ of dogmatism, metaphysics and pagan philosophy. Because Unitarians refuse to acknowledge Jesus as their Lord and God, they are excluded from the National Council of the Churches of Christ."
Dr. Chorowsky further explained the Unitarian attitude toward Jesus Christ in this edition of Look magazine when he said that, "Unitarians repudiate the doctrine and dogma of the Virgin Birth...Unitarians do not believe that Jesus is the Messiah, either of Jewish hope or of Christian fantasy. They do not believe He is 'God Incarnate,' or the Second Person of the Trinity, as the final arbitrator at the end of time, who shall come to judge the quick and the dead."
What is this but the spirit of Antichrist? We are warned in 1 John 4: 1-3, "Beloved, do not trust every spirit but test the spirits to see whether they belong to God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. This is how you can know the Spirit of God: every spirit that acknowledges Jesus Christ come in the flesh belongs to God, and every spirit that does not acknowledge Jesus does not belong to God. This is the spirit of the Antichrist that, as you heard, is to come, but in fact is already in the world."
Unitarian Universalists have a radical and militant homosexual agenda and have ridiculed the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith and Catholic Teaching on homosexuality, referring to it as "archaic" while dismissing a statement from the CDF as representing "astonishing arrogance." See here. Does the Dean of Students at Clark University, Denise Darrigrand, share this view? When a reader of this Blog wrote Ms. Darrigrand an email asking, "Does Clark University approve of students organizations which engage in public ridicule of Catholics?", Ms. Darrigrand responded, "...I've been following this for about a week now. A lot of our students are upset about it but it doesn't seem like there's much we can do. We're just going to ride it out."
Would Dean Darrigrand take this attitude if African-Americans were the subject of public ridicule by students at Clark University? Homosexual persons? Jews? or any other group? We're just going to ride it out? This is the response to Catholic-bashing from the Dean of Students at Clark University? Could it be that Ms. Darrigrand has chosen to just look the other way because she identifies with the Unitarian Universalists and the radical homosexual agenda?
Dean Darrigrand's Facebook page (which I have copied should it happen to suddenly disappear or change), mentions that her interests include the Unitarian Universalist Church of Worcester and Lgbtqi Spirit of Central Massachusetts, a homosexual activism organization. Lgbtqi stands for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, questioning, and intersex.
Is this why it is "open season" on Catholics and Catholic opposition toward homosexuality and same-sex "marriage" at Clark University?
Should Clark University be permitted to receive federal funding when this sort of anti-Catholic animus is just shrugged off?

Harvard historian Arthur Schlesinger, Jr said that "anti-Catholicism is the deepest bias in the history of the American people."
Actually it was Arthur Schlesinger, Sr. David. But good point.

If students at Clark had put up a Facebook page ridiculing gays and lesbians, Darrigrand and other officials at Clark would have been up in arms. But since it is a Catholic and Christian teaching which were held up to ridicule, no big deal.
That's today's bigoted anti-Catholic campus for you. Tolerance is for everyone BUT Catholics. Anti-Catholic bigotry is condoned and often encouraged by university officials.

"We're just going to ride it out." You can bet that Clark University wouldn't just "ride it out" if homosexuals were being targeted there would be a HUGE uproar like you wouldn't believe and it would get media attention. It looks to me like Darrigrand is an anti-Catholic bigot.
"Would a major American newspaper accept a full-page ad viciously denigrating African Americans, Jews, or another minority? Of course not. But when the target is the Catholic Church, the rules change. Anti-Catholicism has been an integral part of American culture from the time the Pilgrims landed at Cape Cod. Even in today's supposedly tolerant climate, vicious stereotypes, falsified history, misrepresentation of religious beliefs, as well as ridicule and public attack of Catholics are commonplace. Anti-Catholicism has become the last refuge of acceptable bigotry. In Anti-Catholicism in American Culture, a series of essays that includes the Center for Media and Public Affairs' newest report on media coverage of the Catholic Church, discover first-hand: --The seven anti-Catholic assumptions common to the American experience.."
