I see. So treating old people in this way and leaving them in trouble after you squeeze them out is a part of those "Catholic values"?

Edit: I see a way to read your statement as saying that Duquesne has a twisted view of Catholic values. Which I could agree with. However there is another reading, not difficult to stumble into, where you are trying to make a general statement about Catholic values, which I could not agree with.
Where can one unsubscribe from ever hearing of how religion tells us how to do good and from ever facing any religion-based opinion?
Because I feel I still live in the medieval times when I do.
If you feel that hypocrisy gives you a free pass to avoid engaging with a very deep belief system with a philosophical head start on you of no less than centuries, and your capsule summary of the Roman Catholic church is "medieval" and "moralizing"...
I would say you actually need more exposure to Catholicism, not less.
Hypocrisy is a universal... so it is actually a horrible signal if you are trying to figure out what to believe. And Christianity at least has a history of facing this issue head on.
"Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean. In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness."
-- Jesus, in Matthew
Add mythology to the mix and the system becomes net harmful.
Regarding Jesus: I just don't see "common christian" variety sort of people care about Jesus. Yes they claim they "love" him, but they just aren't trying to understand who he was as a person and therefore gravitate to beliefs that would make him facepalm.
You better stay clear from everything claiming to have relations to God, if she aligned with some secular university she might not die in absolute poverty.
I now have something to stick into religious faces for the rest of my life, bookmarking.
Unless you think that a fairly large percentage of colleges are religious and have a religious exemption from letting their faculty unionise, this may not be what you're looking for. ^^;
I can see how working in a union might - but that's not necessarily the same thing.
