Life site news gave a list of Universities and colleges that are sponsoring PP plays on stage of the V word.
Univ of Marquette, Bellarmine March-23rd and 24th, College of Holy Cross Feb.-25 and 26, Dominican Univer. Feb 14, Georgetown Univ Feb 21-24, Georgetown Univ Law Center Feb 21-24, Loyola Univ. Chicago March 15-16, St. Marys College of CA Feb. 15, Seattle Univ. Society March 1, 2, 3; Siena Heights Univ. MI April 19-20; University of Detroit MI Feb. 28, Xavier Univ. of OH April 2; St Louis Univ off campus March 7 and 8.

If you boycott, don't boycott the universities, but the dioceses. If your Bishops look the other way, then you know they are not Catholic, let a lone Pro-life. Same goes for the univ. This is such old news, but just FYI.

Whilst from time to time there are good articles on Life Site News itself doesn't seem to see the bigger picture. What I dislike about this 'pro-life movement' is it has become a brand and everything will be ok in society if you vote 'pro-life' every four or five years? A 'pro-life' 'victory' is not a victory at all in many cases and how much money/time is wasted to ensure the 'victory' when time and money could be put to many other things. Then the great 'pro-life' 'hero' betrays the voter which leads to anger and demoralisation.

To refer to my own Nation it is fair to say a few of the NO Bishops turned up at the recent 'Vigil for Life' in Dublin and were vocal in the media. A prayer vigil organised by Archbishop Diarmiud Martin that preceded the Vigil was packed. With these impending abortion there has been a renewed increase in activism and mobilisation.

Same for this 'March for Life in Washington DC.

With most schools being Catholic in name only I agree with a boycott but also we must rebuild.

People have to get to the root of the crisis in the Church and society in general.

A suggestion I would have is perhaps a League of Christ the King type group could be formed or mobilise on the campus.

Sometimes if you criticize Protestantism they will tell you about little crosses being put out in front of Protestant churches.

I really wonder sometimes, about all these young people at world youth day and at big pro-life events, how sincere it all is. It seems to me if the belief that if respect for life was as strong as it appears to be that church-going people would be more serious about opposition to feminism in all its forms.
