Catholic College Under Fire for Listing ‘Homosexuality’ With ‘Murder, Rape, Robbery, Prostitution’ in Course Description

Sep. 12, 2012 9:36am Billy Hallowell

A Catholic university based in Ohio is under fire over an official course description that lists homosexuality as a “deviant behavior.” While this title, alone, will offend some who are more sensitive to the issue, the controversy doesn’t end there. The class at the Franciscan University of Steubenville allegedly teaches the issue alongside a number of truly-deviant criminal activities — drug abuse, prostitution, murder and rape.

Franciscan University Under Fire for Social Work Homosexuality Course Description

Screen shot from the university's web site

According to The Christian Post, the course, entitled, Social Work 314, was discovered by a former student who happens to be gay. The individual, a member of a Facebook group for gay Franciscan University alum, discovered the course description, then posted it on the social network. NPR has more about the individuals involved and details about what happened next:

“As a lesbian and as a psychological professional, I found a couple of things offensive,” says Elizabeth Vermilyea, who graduated from Franciscan University in 1991 with a psychology degree. Today she’s working on a doctorate and consults with mental health organizations. She objects to including both mental health and homosexuality in that list. [...]

“What if you’re a gay student at Franciscan University? How are you going to feel if you’re sitting in that class and they’re putting you in the same category as murderers?” asks Gregory Gronbacher, who graduated from Franciscan University in 1990.

Gronbacher and Vermilyea contacted school officials, trying to get the course description changed. The university’s attorney responded instead with an email warning them not to use the university’s name or logo in their activities.

Inevitably, the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), the accrediting agency for social work education, was contacted in an effort to spark an investigation into the issue.

“The fact that homosexuality was identified in the course description as a deviant behavior raises a flag,” explained CSWE director Stephen Holloway.

Being that SWK 314 is a social work class that focuses in on deviant behaviors in society, studying the aforementioned criminal acts is understandable. But, for some, speaking about homosexuality crosses a line and seems to equate illegal activities with a gay lifestyle.

The term “deviant” means, denotatively speaking, “a person or thing that deviates or departs markedly from the accepted norm.” By this definition, alone, some would argue that homosexuality fits the mold. However, it is the clumping of the other more problematic — and illegal — issues that piqued the alumnus’ interest. The official course description on the university’s web site details what students can expect to learn in the course.

“Deviant Behavior focuses on the sociological theories of deviant behavior such as strain theory, differential association theory, labeling theory, and phenomenological theory,” the description reads. “The behaviors that are primarily examined are murder, rape, robbery, prostitution, homosexuality, mental illness, and drug use. The course focuses on structural conditions in society that potentially play a role in influencing deviant behavior.”

While the university didn’t respond to the Post when the outlet sought comment, the college did release a statement about the incident, reiterating its beliefs in Catholic doctrine — particularly when it comes to same-sex attraction. Here’s a portion of the statement’s text (read the entire document here):

“Franciscan University bases its educational mission on the teaching of Christ as proclaimed in Sacred Scripture and Tradition and authoritatively interpreted by the Magisterium of the Catholic Church.

Accordingly, Franciscan University follows Catholic Church teaching in regard to homosexuality and treats homosexual persons with ‘respect, compassion, and sensitivity’ (Catechism of the Catholic Church, No. 2358) while holding homosexual acts as ‘intrinsically disordered’ (Catechism, No. 2357).

In the statement, the university also noted that the description for the course is derived from textbook headings. Rather than framing homosexuality in a negative light, the purpose of the book, Franciscan University argues, is to explore the notion of activities that differ from the norm. Now, the school is claiming that they are reviewing the course description to see if, indeed, it needs to be changed.

This isn’t the first time the educational facility has been in the news of late. The university has also recently found itself — though not directly — at the center of an atheist battle over its presence on the City of Steubenville’s logo.

You mean the fascist state that determines how much soda one can drink and wants to limit free enterprise by not allowing Chik Fil-A the right to operate a business among the many other overbearing and far over reaching policies of the little Nero you’ve appointed mayor? Yeah, you’re right. I wouldn’t last there nor should one want to. Unless of course you ascribe to those ideals and believe in the communist way of life.

If you see homosexuality as a sin you would necessarily to group it with murder, rape, and etc. This is a Catholic institution and some folks have a problem with it? I think America has too much free time as a result of technological advances. Fifty years ago people spent most of their time working and taking care of their family which probably included extended family members but did not include someone who decided they were attracted to the same sex. This is not an ‘Old Testament’ issue since both Jesus and Paul described what God ordained–notice it was not their opinion–It God’s

  Fifty years ago, people were not as open with homosexuality as they are now. Most did not come out of the closet, unless they were living with other homosexuals. People that lived with their families tended not to expose themselves to that kind of scrutiny.

According to the American Psychiatric Association, until 1974 homosexuality was a mental illness.
Freud had alluded to homosexuality numerous times in his writings, and had concluded that paranoia and homosexuality were inseparable. Other psychiatrists wrote copiously on the subject, and homosexuality was “treated” on a wide basis. There was little or no suggestion within the psychiatric community that homosexuality might be conceptualized as anything other than a mental illness that needed to be treated. And, of course, homosexuality was listed as a mental illness in DSM-II.

Then in 1970 gay activists protested against the APA convention in San Francisco. These scenes were repeated in 1971, and as people came out of the “closet” and felt empowered politically and socially, the APA directorate became increasingly uncomfortable with their stance. In 1973 the APA’s nomenclature task force recommended that homosexuality be declared normal. The trustees were not prepared to go that far, but they did vote to remove homosexuality from the list of mental illnesses by a vote of 13 to 0, with 2 abstentions. This decision was confirmed by a vote of the APA membership, and homosexuality was no longer listed in the seventh edition of DSM-II, which was issued in 1974.

That is not science, that is political correctness

  Not only did the 1970 activists protest at the convention, they followed them home and stalked them day and night, threatening them and their families, until they caved.
  Same as they are trying to do today.
  
  When they come into my Church and use these tactics to disrupt the services because we are preaching against the sin of homosexuality, my vote is to immediately introduce them to God and let him explain it to them.

  LAINPA..Dr Charles Socarides made it clear that homosexuality was removed from the APA’s list of psychological disorders, not because of clinical research but because social groups co-opted the APA and demanded it.
  “Heady stuff. Gays said they could “reinvent human nature, reinvent themselves.” To do this, these reinventors had to clear away one major obstacle. No, they didn’t go after the nation’s clergy. They targeted the members of a worldly priesthood, the psychiatric community, and neutralized them with a radical redefinition of homosexuality itself. In 1972 and 1973 they co-opted the leadership of the American Psychiatric Association and, through a series of political maneuvers, lies and outright flim-flams, they “cured” homosexuality overnight-by fiat. They got the A.P.A. to say that same-sex sex was “not a disorder.” It was merely “a condition”-as neutral as lefthandedness. “.
  
  In various ways, Theodore Reich, Alfred Kinsey, Fritz Perls, Norman O. Brown, Herbert Marcuse and Paul Goodman preached a new countercultural gospel: “If it feels good, do it.” (this meme is being repeated today by liberals and homosexual advocates with the “anything goes” line).
  
  “[...] gay-gene studies and the gay-brain studies do not stand up to critical analysis. (The author of one so-called “gay-gene theory” is under investigation by the National Institutes of Health for scientific fraud.) “

FloridaReader says – “[Homosexuality is] a genetic abnormality caused by different factors. But listing this condition along with murder, rape, robbery and prostitution is not right.”

Some human genome scientists say the same about criminal behavior; it’s not a stretch, therefore, to say pedophilia is probably the same – and with a recidivism rate in excess of 70% in many jurisdictions, it would give many food for thought on how to “classify” homosexuality.

Well enough to accept it for what it is – naturally speaking, unacceptable abnormal behavior, just like murder, rape, robbery and pedophilia; Biblically an abhorrent sin.

  So you think homosexuality is what? A genetic abnormality? Or a genetic disposition akin to that of being left handed? Also, where have you seen anything bigoted regarding the Catholic Church and it’s regard to homosexuality? You haven’t. Your own bigotry toward Christians has blinded your conclusions. The fact is Christians have said on here and everywhere else that homosexuality is wrong, the behavior is warped but we don’t hate the sinner, we hate the sin.

  the funny part about your statement, TROLL, is that of all the behaviors on the list homosexuality is LESS “normal” than drug use AND mental illness. Homosexuals comprise 2.5% of Americans while the rates for mental illness and drug use are MUCH higher, thus making homosexuality even MORE deviant than those behaviors also on the list…why aren’t you just as offended for drug users and the mentally ill?

It is “deviant behavior”. Because it is politically accepted these days doesn’t make it any less deviant. Many behaviors are deviant, many of those deviant behaviors are between consenting adults, and are none of my business as long as it isn’t flaunted in my face. Still doesn’t make it not deviant.

  Well said. I think the University needs to stick to it’s guns and reiterate that sexual deviancy, such as homosexuality, pedeophilia, necrophilia and beastiality are all part of the same perverse realm of sex outside of the design of the Creator. If people have a hard time dealing with that then they need to take their prissy opinions somewhere else.

  Everyone always points to stoning in the old testament. But that was only the punishment what was really talked about was not to let evil and abhorent behavior into your community and family as it would become common place and turn into normal behaviour.
  Is it not funny how 2000 years ago all of the psychology of mans behavior was already known along with the answers by a man who was just 33 years old, funny how most think that we just figured all this out recently.

  I really like how New Yorkers always seem to want people to think “You wouldn’t last a minute in the City”. Like it’s a badge of honor, I guess the same thing goes for prison, some people wouldn’t last a day in prision, it doesn’t make it a paradise, or even a place the majority of SANE people would want to visit or live. So I don’t see what the bragging is about, living in basically a prision, having to wallk around looking like the meanest SOB, and trying not to get killed and just survive to another day.

  I’m not aware of any studies on the number of gay priests, and would be interested in your sources.
  
  As for the number who are pedophiles, at least 4% of all US priests have been accused of sexual abuse against children (and 1.5% of all priests have been found guilty in court). The number is likely higher, at it comes from a voluntary survey of all Catholic churches in the US; you can realistically expect underreporting and that some priests haven’t been accused.

Its a Catholic College. If homosexual students are attending than they should expect the college to treat them with respect but their lifestyle choice won’t be encouraged or receive applause for that matter. That should be obvious. Its like those people saying PB&J sandwiches are offensive. I just wanna say “HELLO! You’re in the United States of America! WELCOME. Have a PB&J.”

Really, if you don’t like it, you don’t have to go to that school… it is a private university, after all.

What???? How dare they put down and lump abortion doctors in with rapists, murder is so different than rape, and takes a different skill set. Wait, that’s not what they are mad about, its the Gays that don’t like being associated with rapist. What if they are Gay Abortion doctors, that would put them at odds with all the groups.

Homosexuality is… “deviant behavior.” Homosexuality is a developmental disorder. Why is the truth always held hostage?

  homosexuality is not a developmental disorder. It’s a genetic abnormality caused by different factors. I am not making this up. Anybody can make their own search on the subject.
  A male instinctively will pursue a female and a female will pursue a male. It’s not something you choose to be.
  But listing this condition along with murder, rape, robbery and prostitution is not right.

  I’ve been searching for years, since it was okd as a normal by the American Psychological Assocoation. People have claimed that there is a gene that causes this. I’ve waited. The human genome was the project that would explain this. I’ve waited…and waited…
