Anti-Catholic Georgetown University

When Does a University Give up its Right to Call Itself Catholic?


When one looks at the entire body of recent press articles concerning Georgetown University, the question naturally arises whether it is scandalous to the church to still consider calling it "Catholic" at all.



The most recent news, the article below this one in the main page, concerns statements made by GU theologian Peter Phan that directly contradict Church doctrine concerning the character of the Church itself and the nature of Jesus Christ and his mission.


The previous posting concerning Georgetown revealed the influence selling going on to Saudi Prince Bin Alaweed. By accepting a large gift and establishing a Saudi-funded Islamic studies program, the school seems to diverge well of the path of "academic freedom" into the realm of propagandizing for a foreign country and religion at odds with its Catholic Mission.


Then there is the story about the establishment of a fully funded center for homosexuals on campus. Again, if you desire to retain the identity as a center of Catholic learning, this seems directly at odds with that. Anyone following trends in the news knows that the anti-discrimination angle used by LGBTQ organizations is simply a Trojan horse for normalizing sodomy.


Also, there is the story about grants being approved for abortion related law activities. Again, how does an ordained priest, the president of a Catholic institution, defend such heretical activity? By claiming "academic freedom" of course. Yet, as Catholics, we are taught that "the truth will set you free" and that Jesus Christ is the truth. So Georgetown is selling its students lies. They have turned their backs on the Church, they have apostatized.


At least they could be honest about it and declare themselves NOT CATHOLIC.
