‘The Moors,’ directed by Jenna Sulecki from a script by Jen Silverman, begins with an exclamation point — a bird slamming into a window — though it could just as easily be a question mark. The characters remark that this is not the first time a bird has been killed by their windows, but as the audience bears witness, the death feels like an omen.
Last week, The Beacon posted an opinion submission about the relationship between the LGBTQ+ community and the Catholic Church. This opinion opened the floodgates of UP community voices speaking out against homophobia and transphobia within the Catholic Church. The opinions section has been livelier than it has been in a long time, garnering the perspectives of UP students, staff and faculty.
On Feb. 22 the United States Women’s soccer team resolved a lawsuit of unequal pay between male and female players on U.S. Soccer teams.
Whether you plan to travel to your home for spring break, or stay close to campus, we are all about to have some extra time on our hands.
Are you stuck in Portland for spring break? Maybe you’re limited by travel restrictions, you’re local or you’re just a last-minute type of person.
Two identities I hold, which I have always struggled with, are being queer and being Catholic. I came out to a handful of friends in high school but did not feel as though I could be fully out at my Catholic school. It was not until I came to the University of Portland that I felt like I could truly be myself. I have the inclusive and welcoming student body to thank for that. I am now a junior here at UP, and since my freshman year I have seen an incredible increase in students that are out and open about being queer.
This is in response to the opinion piece titled "We have come too far" by Br. Benedict Mary Bartsch.
When I was in eighth grade, I was the last of my friends to get a cell phone. All my friends had shiny new iPhones with touchscreens and various social media apps that I could scarcely dream of. But I didn’t get a new iPhone then. My parents gave me a Pantech Breeze III P2030 Flip Phone. At the time, I was just happy to have a phone at all. Many of my friends had had cell phones since fifth grade while I still had to call on the family land line. I was finally free to call and text at my leisure.
Mental health and mental disorders are a delicate topic that should be discussed with respect, dignity, nonjudgement and awareness. Discourse about mental health that does not involve these only furthers stigma and misinformation. While the psychology community can sometimes put the DSM on too high a pedestal, we can still learn from it a basic understanding of the typical behavior that is classified under a certain disorder.
In Pilot’s sports since Feb. 8, the women’s basketball team picked up a win at home and two losses on the road, finishing with a win on the road. The men’s basketball team picked up three wins at home in Chiles. The track and field teams competed at the UW Husky classic and back home for the Portland Indoor four. They also competed in the Mountain Pacific Sports Federation championships. Women’s tennis competed in Eugene, OR against Eastern Washington University and the University of Oregon. Men’s tennis beat cross-town rivals Portland State, and Men’s baseball opened up their season with a win against Creighton University.
In 2017, The Atlantic journalist Noah Berlatsky wrote an article about the rise of the alt-right after the Trump presidency titled, “The Case Against Free Speech for Fascists”. This article contained a quote that resonated with me about why views in support of discrimination and prejudice hold a different weight than a mere impolite expression of free speech.
As Holy Cross priests and brothers, we walk side by side with all on this beautiful UP campus. We live in residence halls, serve in campus ministry, share our classrooms as instructors and professors, and work within administration. As leaders on the bluff, we want to make it clear that we value the presence of the LGBTQ+ members of our community.
As has been said many times before, Br. Benedict Bartsch’s opinion piece does not reflect my views on the relationship between the LGBTQ+ community and Catholicism.

This is in response to “We Have Come Too Far” by Br. Benedict Mary Bartsch.
From the time Michael DeVaughn could walk, to his sophomore year of college, his family lived in an efficiency apartment in Washington D.C. with zero bedrooms. His mom, a high school graduate, and his dad, a maintenance man for a public school — and a high school dropout — slept on a pullout bed on one side of the apartment. On the other side there was a bunk bed for DeVaughn and his brother.
On Tuesday, The Beacon published an opinion piece from an alum titled “We have come too far” which argued that there was no intersectionality between the LGBTQ+ community and traditional Catholic teaching principles. The Beacon received backlash for publishing the article following accusations that the piece contained hate speech towards the LGBTQ+ community.
In a UK study, 2,000 women were polled and almost half of them said they felt negatively judged when working out. That problem is not isolated to just the UK, and women on UP’s campus are confronting this issue together.
If you’ve gone to the grocery store recently, you’ve probably noticed inflation hard at work. Grocery prices across the country have risen around 6% since 2020. As college students, buying groceries while trying to stick to a budget can be difficult, especially while trying to eat healthy and sustainably.
