Chick-Fil-A's signature chicken sandwich (Photo credit: Wikipedia ) Jesuit-run  Fordham University  has buckled to protests led by an LGBTQ student group and will not allow Chick-fil-A to do business at a campus eatery due to past comments by the chicken fast-food company’s CEO supporting natural marriage. Even though representatives of the Christian-oriented Chick-fil-A reportedly went so far as to offer to partner with homosexual student group “Rainbow Alliance” to help them get established on the Catholic college campus, they were rejected. “Following pushback from clubs and independent students over LGBTQ issues and menu offerings, the university has opted to decline an Aramark proposal to install a Chick-fil-A in the Ram Café,” reported the  Fordham Observer .

The issue of religious freedom is at the top of the American bishops’...
