Catholic College Hosts Canada's Most Outspoken Abortion Advocate
By Thaddeus M. Baklinski
LONDON, ONTARIO, March 7, 2008 - Yesterday evening Brescia Women's College at The University of Western Ontario hosted notorious abortion and homosexual "marriage" advocate Michele Landsberg, who gave a talk entitled, "The F-Word: Fearless, Funny, Fast-Forward and Fabulous…Feminism."
The talk was given as part of Brescia's 'Women Making Change' conference in conjunction with International Women's Day.
Landsberg is an extremely outspoken critic of orthodox Christianity and a venomous opponent of the pro-life movement.
Landsberg wrote a column in The Toronto Star a number of years ago, saying, "Will no priest or minister publicly resolve to stop the indoctrination of youth to view abortion as murder? Is none ashamed of the blood-drenched holocaust vocabulary used so cynically (and anti-semitically) to whip up fervor for the crusade? Where are the outspoken cries of conscience by bishops and cardinals who should be appalled by the evidence of links between anti-abortion fanatics and far-right militias, neo Nazis, and white supremacists? Is there no religious leader who regrets his church's role in feeding this blind frenzy? Will none of them repent of their excesses, will none call a halt to their sickeningly manipulative campaigns of 'precious little feet,' their fake 'documentaries' about screaming fetuses? You'd think that the world had enough lessons in the dangers of hate speech."
Landsberg is married to Stephen Lewis, who has a long record of outspoken opposition to Catholic moral principles and has unequivocally placed himself on the side of the Culture of Death.
Kim Young Milani, director of The Circle Women's Centre at Brescia, which sponsored the lecture, said, "She's one of Canada's feminist icons. We're really excited to have her," in an interview with the London Free Press.
Loretta Dubrick, an alumna of Brescia, told LifeSiteNews.com she is saddened at the news. "It seems so far from the Catholic heritage of that College, and a total departure from the traditional Catholic spirituality on which it was founded," she said. "It shows a lack of discernment about their Catholic identity to encourage their students to accept dissenting ideologies. It's really disappointing and I do deeply wish they had reconsidered."
Brescia was established in 1919 by the Ursuline Sisters and has been affiliated with The University of Western Ontario since its founding.
Calls by LifeSiteNews.com to the administration of the college were not returned.
