Responding to the Hook-up Culture at the upcoming World Meeting of Families in Philadelphia. The author of Women, Sex and the Church: A Case for Catholic Teaching and a regular contributor to the Mirror of Justice blog has been described by papal biographer George Weigel as one of the intellectual leaders of the new Catholic feminism in the United States.

College students need to know that casual sex is not and does not have to be the norm during their time in college, explained Bachiochi.

The Catholic college I went to was actually a Jesuit institution, Spring Hill Society of the Jesuits, or Spring Hill College in Mobile, Alabama. Many of my professors were Jesuits.
I wouldn't trade the liberal arts education for anything, but sex and 'hookup culture' are the same at Loyola as they are at Ohio State. The speaker in the OP is delusional.
