Bravo to this student for reinforcing moral truth and Catholic teaching. THis guy has majore courage that this school leaders should emulate. And for those below who object to hearing about Catholic beliefs at a Catholic school, go to school somewhere elses. There are literally thousands of state and other schools. Don't go to a steak house, then get offended when they bring you a ribeye.

I can not think of a less appropriate topic for graduation, except maybe pornography. I mean really, do you really want to give that to grandparents, siblings, and children? Talking about how birth control is selfish? Ok, fine if you want to use the selfish metaphor to get your point across, but please choose a better example. I feel sorry for his parents, who had to listen to him give that.

@86interceptor actually, he was a seminarian at the moment, and he was graduating from the college seminary at UST, called Saint John Vianney College Seminary. He actually went on to major seminary where he then discerned out. He used nothing out of context and said what should have been said following a scandal that had happened earlier in the year. He should be praised, not condemned for his righteousness.

God Bless him.

Just because we go to a Catholic school doesn't mean we agree with all doctrine. We are modern students who like all the pleasures of the world and, yes, birth control is one. Most UST students are not zealous like this person, we live life as it comes

cool story hansel
The speech was completely hypocritical because while discussing selfishness, he selfishly held an entire audience hostage to voice his personal opinions. That's selfish. Which is why people walked out. That was a time to celebrate the end of college, not be lectured by a future priest on his views of what he thinks you should or should not be doing.

"I am a UST grad, and will never support this vile university. I will never hire any UST grad because of the reaction of the audience."
I disagree. Instead, I would recommend you treating each UST Graduate as an individual as opposed to discriminating against a graduate whom may or may not have been present at this speech. Cheers.
