This religious personalism is manifested by the members of the DePaul community in a sensitivity to and care for the needs of each other and of those served, with a special concern for the deprived members of society.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Maybe someone needs to ask Fr. Holtschneider\u00a0what he, as a Catholic, considers a more \u201curgent human need\u201d than the right to preserve the life of every unborn child. Or maybe while trying to avoid stepping on racial landmines, Holtschneider could also enlighten us as to how openly expressing a true sentiment like\u00a0\u2018unborn life matters\u2019 fails to ennoble the \u201cGod-given dignity of each person.\u201d<\/p>\n<div class=\"ArticleAd2\">\n<p><!-- \/1011927\/LAN_300_BY_250_mid_article --><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1473179101244-0\" class=\"ArticleAd2a\"><script>\ngoogletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1473179101244-0'); });\n<\/script><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>Then, in keeping with his Vincentian values argument, after the soon-to-be-retired university president clarifies the first two points, he can then explain why the\u00a03,000 preborn babies robbed of the right to life daily &#8212; many of whom are black &#8212; are not considered\u00a0the most \u201cdeprived members of society.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the end, despite citing Catholic and Vincentian values, it appears that at DePaul University, conservative students are becoming the victims of politically correct restrictions imposed on them by university administrators who discriminate\u00a0against conservative values.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In May of 2016, Black Lives Matter protestors at the nation\u2019s largest Catholic university, Chicago\u2019s DePaul University, physically assaulted controversial conservative public speaker, Milo Yiannopoulos.
