At The Catholic Herald, Newman Guide programs director Kelly Salomon shows how some faithful Catholic colleges are taking positive steps to combat pornography: Pornography shouldn’t be part of a Catholic college experience.

Even as the bishops attending this month’s Youth Synod in Rome strive mightily to demonstrate that they hear the wishes and concerns of young people, I was surprised when a Catholic college student told me that he doesn’t much care if the Church listens to him. Isaac Cross first heard […]
Yesterday the Vatican convened its first session of the Synod on Young People, the Faith, and Vocational Discernment.

The working document guiding the Synod on Young People, the Faith, and Vocational Discernment focuses on encouraging adults to accompany youth as they face new experiences and challenges.

The news is filled these days with reports of sexual assaults against college students, even at some of the most committed and faithful Catholic colleges.
