SAN FRANCISCO, December 5, 2002 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Jesuit Catholic University of San Francisco (USF) offers a website on pregnancy which contains three links to "resources", two of which are pro-abortion. The website, which offers students health information links to the local office of planned parenthood which in turn boasts of an online calculator which can be used to determine the cost of a 16-week abortion, among other things. Another link is to the "Women's Community Clinic" which offers the abortifacient morning after pill. The final link, listed last, although not alphabetically last, bills itself as a Christian counselling centre.
USF claims to be Catholic and to have "inherited the rich vision of St. Ignatius of Loyola who founded the Society of Jesus (also known as the Jesuits) in 1540." The USF website notes that "Jesuit education affirms the ultimate goodness of the world as created, loved, and redeemed by God; it seeks to find God in all things."
USF is no stranger to heterodox controversy. Last year the USF president, Father Stephen Privett, dismissed the director of the Ignatius Institute, in effect dismantling the orthodox Catholic program. The Ignatius Institute was initiated by Ignatius Press founder Fr. Joseph Fessio, who was instrumental in launching Campion College to provide local Catholic students an institute of higher learning that is more faithful to the teachings of the church.
