Saint Anselm and Girls Inc. Win Carter Partnership Award

Saint Anselm College and Girls Inc. have won The Jimmy and Rosalynn Carter Partnership Award for Campus-Community Collaborations.

The award was presented by former First Lady Rosalynn Carter at a dinner Nov. 6 that marked the 10th anniversary of Campus Compact for New Hampshire.

Father Jonathan DeFelice, O.S.B., president of Saint Anselm and chairman of Campus Compact, accepted the award on behalf of the college, along with Patricia Barss, head of Girls Inc. It was the highest of the three awards presented to campus-community partnerships, and carries a $10,000 prize.

"The former president and first lady exemplify the true meaning of civic commitment and leadership. So we are deeply honored that they have recognized the partnership between Saint Anselm College and Girls Inc.," said Father Jonathan.

On their web page, Girls, Inc. lists policies in direct opposition to the Church's teaching on sexuality. Yet the supposed priest, Fr. Jonathan DeFelice seems oblivious.

From Girls, Inc.:

We recognize the right of all women to choose whether, when, and under what
circumstances to bear children. Reproductive freedom and responsibility are
essential to other rights and opportunities, including pursuit of education,
employment, financial security and a stable and fulfilling family life.
Restrictions of reproductive choice are especially burdensome for young women
and poor women. Girls Incorporated supports a woman’s freedom of choice, a
constitutional right established by the U.S. Supreme Court in 1973 in Roe vs.
Wade.

The Catholic teaching on abortion is quite different. We believe that abortion is murder of an innocent child and creates serious problems for the woman as well. In what other procedure do two otherwise healthy people go in and one is killed and the other left with an elevated risk of breast cancer, ovarian cancer, depression, internal bleeding and infertility? When will Catholics wake up and realize the evil that is being foisted on them when institutions like Girls, Inc. enter into Catholic colleges and schools?

When will a Church authority finally step in and reign in this heretical formerly Catholic college? Don't hold your breath. In the meantime, young people are being put at risk. And a fraud is being perpetrated against young people who think they are attending a "Catholic" college.
