Extravagant Affectations: Radical Feminist Theologian Wants Abortion

I am proud that I took my degrees at Loyola University of Chicago.  The courses were rigorous, unforgiving and complete.

Things seems to have changed at my Alma Mater - radically so.

Today, the Sun Times a secularist myna bird of a paper offered a silly screed from a professor of Theology from Loyola - Susan A. Ross.

Not only is Ms. Ross a professor, but also " a faculty scholar at Loyola University Chicago, where she previously served as department chair. She is past president of the Catholic Theological Society of America and a Public Voices Greenhouse Fellow through The OpEd Project."

The OpEd Project is a radical feminist project that collects "  the number of women thought leaders contributing to key commentary forums—which feed all other media, and drive thought leadership across all industries—to a tipping point.  We envision a world in which the best ideas—regardless of where or whom they come from—will have a chance to be heard and shape society and the world.  "

No guys.

Today's piece by Ms. Ross obfuscates Catholic tradition on abortion.

Like most Progressive abortion lovers, Ms. Ross employs the happy face of Pope Francis to mask the fact that abortion is evil, unjustifiable and sinful.

Pope Francis has challenged single-issue definitions of what it means to be Catholic. He has said that love of God and neighbor and, especially, mercy and compassion, are at the heart of what it means to be Christian and devoted an entire year to Mercy.
He has changed the rule that says abortion is such a serious sin that only a bishop could forgive it; now any priest has that power. He has chided church leaders for their focus on sexual issues and urged them to make the church more welcoming.
Perhaps the bishops are beginning to see that opposition to abortion is not the only thing that defines a “good” Catholic. With the possible repeal of the Affordable Care Act, they have also begun to make statements about the potentially disastrous impact of the loss of health insurance for millions of people.
And in the wake of Trump’s ban on immigrants from seven predominantly Muslim countries, some Catholic leaders have spoken out strongly on the devastating impact.
Perhaps over the next four years, pro-life Catholics will begin to consider the effects of defunding reproductive health services on poor women not only in the United States, but also across the globe. Or perhaps pro-life Catholics will consider marching for pre- and post-natal health care, maternity leave and child care. Perhaps pro-life Catholics will speak up for women’s voices and moral agency in a church whose leadership is made up of celibate men.

Yeah, them single issues can really enslave women. Pink knit hatted women howled against Trump. and some even mooned the guy's building near the river.   That is one enthralling single issue - hating Trump. Only thing missing form Ms. Ross's smoke job was " Keep your rosaries off my ovaries" and a nod to Virginia Slims and women's health.

I was a senior at Loyola, when Roe V. Wade was judicially legislated as the law of the land.  Loyola University was disgusted. The students were ashamed of the Ruling and America stopped being a great nation.

Today, Susan A. Ross is allowed to misrepresent Catholic traditions and teaching to smooth political opportunities for the school that I loved. Hell, why should De Paul get all the great land deals from the Chicago Banana Republic?

Professor Ross has a powerful audience of radical feminists and spineless males who are perfectly happy with abortion, Kermit Barron Gosnell and the lie about women's rights.

There are more women with brains and wonderful hearts.

Abortion should and will go the way of the Virginia Slim.

Hollywood Pretty Quiet About Obama's Scandal Troika

A couple of years ago Rupert Murdoch's News Corp. had Hollywood all a-giggle. In fact, Hollywood, the folks who churn out special effects and computer animations around such glib and witty dialog as this -

Dr. King Schultz: How do you like the bounty hunting business?

Django: Kill white people and get paid for it? What's not to like?

(Dang!  I wish I could have heard William Powell answer that one to George Sanders)

- tends to pepper the air waves with political commentary from its cavalcade of stars on everything from Fracking to Fluke-ers.

In the last nine months, the American atmosphere has swelled pregnant with misdirection, misdeeds, misspeechifying, mission failure and mismanagement on the part of the Bride of Hollywood - the Obama White House.  Benghazi, the IRS war on Grannies and Minutemen Re-enactors, and the Snoop-dogging of the AP and FOX reporters are crowning full-term and kicking and kindly Old Doc Gosnell is in the joint- full term.  There seems to be no aborting Obama's three headed baby all set to walk to the bus and drive over his players.

Naturally, contracted celebrity gasbags on HBO, MSNBC and Comedy Central are doing all that is possible to snip the chord on this roaring distraction, but where are Ben Affleck, Matt Damon, Ingmar Johanssen, Rob Reiner, Tom Hanks, Will and Jada Smith and the ace dowager Susan Sarandon? How about the B-list egos?  Perez Hilton, John Cusack, Cheryl Crow and the other goofs who pen unfiltered but un-original thoughts for Huffington Post?

Where's the Velvet Mafia?  The first Gay President is in the jackpot.

The Obama Scandal Troika is coming full term. Pretty gloomy with no George Clooney.

Interesting this silence. Moreso, Hollywood is treating its President like he did with those four folks in Benghazi last September.

Then, again.  Hollywood does not answer a phone call - it gets screened.

Scarlet Johansen!  Not Ingmar. 

Chicago Media Ignore the Butchery of Babies But Boost Burge Mythology

In the 1980's two Chicago Police Officers were tortured and murdered by the Wilson Brothers.  The Wilson Brothers were arrested, charged and convicted of the torture and murder of Officers Fahey and O'Brien.

Ten years earlier,Dr. Kermit Barron Gosnell, MD began charging impoverished women $1,600 a snip to murder their unborn children. This murderer is described by the Associated Press as 'serene and elegant' as he stands trial.  That AP story line is the only one carried here in Illinois.

The Peoples Law Office's G. Flint Taylor with a powerful assist from ex-con Northwestern Professor Bernadine Dohrn, Mother Jones writer Sasha Abramsky and later The Chicago Reader began crafting the Mythology of Jon Burge and His Midnight Crew. The Chicago Media lapped it up.

Meanwhile Dr. Kermit Barron Gosnell, MD of Philadelphia amassed  millions of dollars - dare I say millions of dollars?  Sure, I dare - butchering the unborn, partially born and alive children of mothers who were lured to his Lancaster Avenue abattoir. That is until 2010.



G. Flint Taylor had many opportunities and millions of dollars to this end - prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that Police Commander John Burge systemically tortured hundreds of black men.  G. Flint Taylor  failed to do that, but managed to create a compelling narrative that time, repetition and legal legerdemain managed to lay a perjury trap that sent Jon Burge to Federal Prison.

Dr. Kermit Gosnell, MD slaughtered thousands children; Burge might have 'tuned-up' a few thugs and possibly a couple of innocents as well.

Both Chicago newspapers keep the Burge fires burning, while Kermit Barron Gosnell* goes ignored.

You see Gosnell is on the right side of history and Burge looks like a guy who might give one a slap. Therefore, he must have tortured black men 24/7 with his systemically racist Midnight Crew in the House of Screams that no one seemed to hear.  After all, why else would John Conroy write so many compelling narratives for the Chicago Reader and go on to work for, a not a news agency, but that soul integrity and good humor Andy Shaw of BGA?  Judges, urban translators, commissions, blue ribbon panels, university faculties and every person with press pass in Chicago demands that Burge face the music. Ergo, a Burge Reminder appears every two weeks, or so.

However, nothing about the butchery of children gets any sweat equity from the Chicago Media Mavens.

Abortion is woman's health care wedded to Gay Marriage. Can't sully that.

Burge Beefing, and a mighty thin beef it be, undermines any and all confidence in law and law enforcement and that is a good thing.  You see the same folks involved in crafting the Burge narrative also helped destroy Chicago public education and that is a good thing - tragically bad schools, lousy public transporation, dangerous neighborhoods, bigger taxes, and soul-sucking repetition of nonsense will cause more people to flee Chicago, create greater real estate bonanzas for the Judson Miner, Allison Davis and Val Jarrett,


If you happen to be a Buzz-cut Bolshevik, or a Cadillac Commie with membership in an Ivy League, Northwestern, or University of Chicago Alumni Association, you have ears of Tom McNamee, Carol Marin and Bruce Dold and the other editorial and news ninnies. Exemplum Gratia!

After court, Locke Bowman, director of the Northwestern University's MacArthur Justice Center, called Biebel's decision sensible given the "abysmal" track record of the state's attorney's office on Burge-related cases.
"They've never acknowledged that Jon Burge injured anyone," he said. "They've never taken any steps to address any of the flawed prosecutions on which his actions turned, and as a result they are tainted." (emphases my own) 

They would be the States Attorneys Office and most juries before whom Flint and Locke laid on the mythopoeic rhetoric.  Once Bernardine Dorhn suggested an electric shock box in the Mother Jones article by Sasha Abramsky that mythical torture device became doctrine, but never made an appearance . . .with the exception of the one G. Flint Taylor parted with a few nickels to have built for him.


That is because not one of these later-day Clarence Darrows could prove that Jon Burge enjoyed boating, let alone tortured people 24/7.

There will be no end to Burge Myth, because that is the point.

We need to demand some time, certainly no equal time for the monstrous murdering medicine man in Philadelphia, because you can bet the same thing is happening here.

* Grand Jury XXII -

Section I: Overview
 This case is about a doctor who killed babies and endangered women. What we
mean is that he regularly and illegally delivered live, viable, babies in the third trimester
of pregnancy – and then murdered these newborns by severing their spinal cords with
scissors. The medical practice by which he carried out this business was a filthy fraud in
which he overdosed his patients with dangerous drugs, spread venereal disease among
them with infected instruments, perforated their wombs and bowels – and, on at least two
occasions, caused their deaths. Over the years, many people came to know that 
something was going on here. But no one put a stop to it.
 Let us say right up front that we realize this case will be used by those on both
sides of the abortion debate. We ourselves cover a spectrum of personal beliefs about the
morality of abortion. For us as a criminal grand jury, however, the case is not about that
controversy; it is about disregard of the law and disdain for the lives and health of
mothers and infants. We find common ground in exposing what happened here, and in
recommending measures to prevent anything like this from ever happening again.
The “Women’s Medical Society”
 That was the impressive-sounding name of the clinic operated in West
Philadelphia, at 38th and Lancaster, by Kermit B. Gosnell, M.D. Gosnell seemed
impressive as well. A child of the neighborhood, Gosnell spent almost four decades
running this clinic, giving back – so it appeared – to the community in which he
continued to live and work.
 But the truth was something very different, and evident to anyone who stepped . . .
