The Trouble With Jesuits, Part 38

While the U.S. bishops responded to last week’s marriage ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court by upholding the teachings of the Catholic Church, one Jesuit University chose to publicly celebrate the decision in direct conflict with its Catholic identity and mission.

Over the weekend, the University ofSan Francisco (USF), a Jesuit Catholic university, used Twitter and Facebook  to celebrate the San Francisco Pride Parade and the recent 5-4 decision in Obergefell v. Hodges, which legalized same-sex marriage in the United States.

“Supreme Court legalizes gay marriage nationwide in wake of #SFPride-@USF_LTMC #LoveWins,” read one of the messages from USF’s official Twitter account on Friday. The message was accompanied by a photo of the California State Capitol lit up in rainbow colors.
