Being forced to go a modernist university
« on: September 13, 2019, 03:42:49 PM »
I'm an 18 year old young man who has recently returned to the Catholic faith by the grace of Almighty God. This happened about 2 years ago. It wasn't until around the beginning of 2019 that I started to discover tradition. However, it took me a while to adjust, and I had already applied by then. I had doubts about going to college in general before, but these concerns were less about the spiritual dangers, but rather the question of "do I really need to go?". I was shut down by my parents. My mother is in the Novus Ordo and my dad is a lapsed Greek Orthodox. As the end of this summer approached, I had to wake up and smell the coffee. 

I quickly realized that this school isn't Catholic. One of the presenters for our freshman orientation talked about the glories of "diversity", going so far as to mention the time he saw two sodomites "lovingly" hold hands!  :barf: 

Another promoted the use of some kind of new age mediation. In all of this, not a mention of Our Lord Jesus Christ! We had a convocation in which a priest called down God's intercession, which gave me some temporary relief. However, I ended up feeling scandalized by all of this and close to despair. I never stopped trusting in God. I go exclusively to the TLM. I say 15 decades of the rosary, which no doubt keeps my mind from absorbing the pollution of the place. There are other things I can mention too. Immodestly dressed women everywhere, a flyer for a sodomite club, etc. After about 3 weeks of this clown show, I decided to confront my parents. I told them about the dangers of this place, that it was driving me crazy. I told them I wanted to drop out. Did nothing. They said I had to be "more positive". Just yesterday, I had to read a short story in which degenerate sɛҳuąƖ behavior was being referenced. I think God's allowed all of this to show me that I need to get out. 

I have no job, no money. I'm being forced to go to this school by my parents. I don't live on campus. What can I do? Can I bring this up in my next confession? Prayers and advice would be greatly appreciated. I'll pray for all you too.

Count on being added to my prayers. No matter what, keep praying that 15+ decade rosary, keep it in your pocket at all times no matter what, wear the scapular and tell God, respectfully and with however much faith you can, to "get me out of here,  I will never make it to heaven living this way, put me where I need to be." You may need to do this daily for a bit.

Please, after however long, let us know how well this worked for you.

You sound very maturr to your age.

I hope you will find a job soon.

One question. What are you studying? Its a career that will give you a job or its something related to Social Sciences and you will be a future unemployed?

If its a career that will give you the oportunity to have better jobs to provide for your future family maybe you can sacrifice for some years.

"Maybe" because the only who knows if you can survive there without losing your soul is you. 

Inmodest women, lgbtxcgrr propaganda, etc, its everywhere if you are and adult. You will have to work with non christians, etc. Except you move to a rural area ...

What if you study a short career? Or learning a trade. 

Of course your parents will scream. But its your life and your soul...

This thread reminds me of a moral dilemma that I thought about. I was an English major but I graduated from school two years before my conversion. But what would happen if one was taking a course in college that one was required to pass to graduate. And in that class one had to read a book on the Index of Forbidden Books? What then? Of course that is probably one of the reasons Catholics used to be forbidden from going to non-Catholic schools. I know I read bad books in school and after I converted I threw many of them away.

OP here. I'm studying Secondary Education. Just to clarify for all, I'm studying at a "Catholic" university.
