De Paul University, one of the most important Catholic colleges in the US, has instituted a minor undergraduate programme in “lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgendered and queer (LGBTQ) studies.” The new minor programme offers students an overview of the “history of the queer movement” in legislation as well as the place of homosexuality in the US as a social movement.

LGBTQ studies at a Catholic college are an outrage, of course, but when did DePaul become "one of the most important Catholic colleges in the US"? Notre Dame? Boston College? Georgetown? Catholic University? Surely it's behind them. What makes it more important than Marquette and Gonzaga? Just asking, and, quite frankly, with the introduction of the LGBTQ, I'd just assume it not be considered a Catholic college at all, much less an "important" one.
