Catholic investigates stripper at party, hazing

"If the evidence demonstrates that any of our current students willingly participated in these activities, appropriate disciplinary action will be taken,'' athletic director Michael Allen said in a statement."

I wonder if confession will be mentioned?
With all my anti-dumb jock comments on this blog, I think it should be pointed out I am against jocks acting dumb, not against jocks per se. I am watching Mike Sweeney from the Kansas City Royals on EWTN right now and he seems like a classic good guy jock. There are many women and men that are jocks, and good people. I just think there is something wrong with our culture where jocks are treated like royalty even if they are royal screw-ups. Hopefully, this attitude will change and I believe that sites like badjocks.com can help.

Catholic University Women's Lacrosse Team Initiation Party 2006

This site combines two of my favorite things to point out to people: Dumb Jocks and Fake Catholic Schools. From Badjocks.com, this site shows the initiation of dumb jocks at a supposedly Catholic University. These "women" hired a male stripper and acted like, well, dumb jocks with no brains, no taste, no dignity. In other words, typical dumb jocks and typical "Catholic" University students.

Operation Rescue founder Randall Terry has converted to Catholicism.

This reminds of a story Msgr. Lisante told during a homily one Sunday. He was a pro-life leader in the Diocese and was working an event with Terry. Randall asked Msgr. Lisante to lead the group of Christians in prayer, but requested it "not be too Catholic". Lisante said he began right away with "Hail Mary full of grace...."
