I did my undergrad at UT many years ago and I suppose that I am still very much negatively influenced by my experience with the Paulist Fathers serving the Catholic Center at that time. However, I certainly understand the penchant for misrepresentation of a paper like the Daily Texan. It has not changed much in 30 years. I did try to couch the post in a subjunctive mood but perhaps I should have been more ready to give Fr. Ed the benefit of the doubt. Please let me know if you would, how this proceeds. Equus -

I am a graduate student at UT, and I am (or strive to be) a devoutly orthodox catholic. Here is what I know about the new group which is being formed, and the people involved: 1. Its purpose is to be a support group whose focus is the promotion of chastity. I'm not sure if it will be modeled after Courage or not--but it's purpose seems to be similar. 2. The group has the support of our local bishop (His Excellency Gregory Aymond), who seems to be a very good pastor. 3. As for the referenced articles in the Texan. For the article they published, they did actually mention that this is a chastity support group, but only in the last paragraph (maybe actually the last sentence of the article). Also, I wouldn't trust them to have quoted Fr. Ed accurately--they certainly mis-represented him on the abortion issue (I had a discussion with him shortly afterward, and he was actually pretty angry at them for this). The Texan's unstated goal (more so this ear than before) is to complete the sexual revolution, so you have to approach them as a news source with a grain of salt. With all of this said, I would ask for your prayers, and the prayers of your readers that this new group fosters at atmosphere of charity and chastity.
