Teachers at the medical school of Notre Dame University have to commit to teach under a code of standards that bans contraception, ­describes abortion as “the ­deliberate killing of an innocent human life” and reserves the right to ­refuse IVF to gay couples. The school, which is based in Sydney and Fremantle and receives federal funding, lists as an “essential selection criteria” for teachers a “commitment to teaching in the context of the Code of Ethical Standards for Catholic Health and Aged Care Services in Australia’’.

A similar survey by TFP Student Action in 2008 found that 96 Catholic university websites contained information about pro-homosexual clubs. “A sort of dictatorship of tolerance is slowly squeezing out the truth, silencing Catholic teaching right on Catholic campuses,” said TFP Student Action Director John Ritchie. “More and more Catholic college students are confronted with visible, active and well-funded pro-homosexual clubs that openly contradict natural law and undermine moral values.” “To see this happening at Catholic institutions of higher learning is particularly disturbing,” Ritchie said, adding that many of the pro-homosexua...
