First, I'd like to ask my readers to pray for the repose of the souls of (as well as the families of) pro-life activists Daniel T. Zanoza and Mary Jo Heiland. Both died recently of natural causes at the ages of 56 and 75, respectively. Requiescant in pace.
I almost hate to admit this, but it's gotten to the point where hearing about yet another scandal at a Catholic college or university simply causes my eyes to glaze over. Sadly, the majority of Catholic colleges and universities are, like their secular counterparts, cesspools of moral perversion, having lost their Catholic identity a long time ago.
Thankfully, there are still Catholics who care enough to hold these institutions' feet to the fire. Catholic activist Darla Meyers, of Hudson, Wis., is one such person.
Meyers sent the following e-mail (slightly edited) to Archbishop Jerome Listecki of Milwaukee, Father Robert Wild, S.J., president of Marquette University, and other officials:

I wish more Catholics were like Darla Meyers.
