1 I never said anything against gay people. I did not say that. Do not put words in my mouth. However, as an example, "Roe" from Row v Wade is now pro-life and says that There is a large pro-life and pro-marriage movement. the case was the biggest mistake of her life. Trump has said he is pro-life. For the record, I did not vote for Trump.

2 They were uncomfortable because I stated Catholic teaching without sugar-coating it. Only when my beliefs are relevant to the discussion. I am not disruptive. Other people have been more violent toward me than the other way around. This is the first I have ever heard about people finding me to be violent.

3 homophobic (adj.): having or showing a dislike of or prejudice against homosexual people. I have never been homophobic; in fact, I have expressed love and concern for persons with homosexual tendencies. My beliefs are in line with the teaching of the Catholic Church. This is loaded language and implies I have posted controversial messages before. See exhibit A for all prior posters I have hung up at Carroll. Apparently discussions concerning Catholic moral teaching are aggressive behavior.

4 Again, not a direct quote. This is the official teaching of the Catholic Church.

5 Of course I would be upset. You could not understand what I was explaining to you. You were implying I am a hateful bigoted person, on par with the KKK. The "altercation" would not have taken place if people were tolerant of Catholic teaching.

6 You are wilfully ignoring much of what Msgr. Swetland was saying. He even recommended secular public colleges over private religious schools, because there is little freedom of speech or religion on private campuses. The call discussed two seperate issues, and Msgr. overcame his shock and alarm. You are wilfully misinterpreting what he said and how he said it. Hostile environment: I never forced people to read or be angry about the posters. They chose to do that instead of accepting the fact that people have different beliefs on controversial issues. If my posters are objectively offensive, you are stating that the Catholic Church is objectively offensive. My posters quoted or paraphrased teachings of the Catholic Church. Did my posters make anyone want to quit their job at Carroll? If mere offensiveness is not enough, then even if my posters were offensive, they would not create a hostile environment.

I have yet to find a reasonable person in college administration. For example, Emily Weideman shows an obvious personal bias against me. See exhibit B.

7 I have yet to find a reasonable person in college administration. For example, Emily Weideman shows an obvious personal bias against me. See exhibit B. It's not about what I believe, it is about what the Church teaches. All posters are targeted to someone. A poster with the date and time of an event is targeted to people that would be willing It is not about the sexual orientation. All sex outside of marriage is wrong. and able to attend. Anyone would be frustrated when asked loaded questions by people that are obviously biased and accusatory. The posters clearly expressed the opposite message. I made it very clear that some activities are disordered, not the people. He does not say that they should not hear those things, he says it should not be the only message. My posters contained messages of respect, and gay persons listen to other people, not just me. They are not using my posters as the only source for feedback on their behaviors. It was not a reference, it was a direct quote. Lawful does not mean morally upright. False. False. False. You are cherry-picking and taking messages out of context. This entire paragraph is a blatant misrepresentation of Catholic teaching. Yet again you tell me that the teaching of the Catholic Church is disturbing and seriously offensive. The Jews killed Jesus for blasphemy, because they thought that He was disturbing and offensive. Again you are saying that the Catholic position is alarming. Most of the people I talked to while posting the messages, and after posting, approved of what I was doing.

8 You should watch that interview. He says the Catholic Church makes "radical demands" of the faithful and of the culture, and that it is wrong to "dial back" on teaching because people don't like it or find it difficult. He says that "the Church's job is to say no to what it percieves to be an inadequate, incomplete integration of the sexual act. So not just gay marriage, but go across the board and anything that falls short of that ideal, the Church would say no to... it is keeping its bar high and calling people always to that bar." "I do think it [gay "marriage"] does have a negative impact on the wider society. I do think it is in a certain way a compromising or undermining of an institution that's key to the health of the society." I have had discussions with priests about this issue. They agree with me.
