I smell a contradiction with official Church doctrine.

Catholic university DePaul adds ‘Queer Peers’ mentorship program

DePaul University in Chicago, the country’s largest Catholic school, is launching a new mentorship program for LGBT students called “Queer Peers.”

The program “connects current DePaul students with newly enrolled or newly out students,” meaning those who publicly identify as homosexual, according to the LGBTQA Student Services page. “The mentor relationship will last the duration of the 2014-15 academic year and will take the form of monthly meetings, peer support, and community engagement.”

The website provides little information on what that support, engagement, and meetings might actually entail.

Such programs are necessary because “there’s a lot of literature out there that says mentorship and direct support can help students in feeling acclimated to a university environment,” Katy Weseman, coordinator for LGBTQA Student Services, told The DePaulia. The program “will help students feel connected so that they are more likely to do well in school.”

Weseman did not respond to requests for comment from The College Fix, including whether the program is structured to avoid the charge of “advocacy” for a homosexual lifestyle in violation of Catholic teaching.

The Catholic University of America postponed a screening of the film Milk, a biopic of gay-rights activist Harvey Milk, two weeks ago because administrators said the event – intended to kick off LGBT Awareness Month – “had changed in nature from one of education to one of advocacy,” a spokesman told the Catholic news service Crux.

The LGBTQA office at DePaul already says it offers networking, advising, consulting and Safe Zone meetings, so it’s unclear what new benefit Queer Peers will provide.

DePaul also became the first Catholic university to offer a minor in LGBT studies in 2006. Students can take classes on “Gay Men’s Health Matters,” “LGQ French History” and “Sexual Justice,” according to a course catalog.

Given that the mentee application form for Queer Peers asks if applicants are interested in “On and off campus activism,” DePaul does not appear to have a problem with homosexual activism.
