Minneapolis Catholic College Requires Reading of Sexually Explicit Anti-Catholic Novel - A Handmaid's Tale

No surprise really. We previously reported that at St. Anselm College they use similar texts in English classes. Feminism has replaced the classics as required reading at Catholic Colleges and nothing seems to be done about it. Intellectual pursuit has been set aside in favor of feminization.

From Lifesitenews article:

"Atwood is known in Canada as a major figure in the ultra-feminist, anti-religious and largely state-funded literary establishment. When it was first published by McClelland and Stewart in 1985, the book was heavily criticized, largely outside Canada, as an anti-Christian screed relying for its appeal on the titillation provided by its frequent expletives and graphically depicted sex-acts, and a heavy-handed feminist ideology.

Despite this, the book remains at the top of charts in literary circles and has received and been nominated for numerous literary awards, including the prestigious Booker Prize. It is featured as part of the high school literature curricula in the UK, the US, Germany and Australia. It has been listed as No 37 on the "100 Most Frequently Challenged Books of 1990-2000" by the American Library Association, as parents continue to object to its anti-Christian and sexual content."
