How Catholic is Georgetown?
May 14, 2012
Well, according to the Archdiocese of Washington's editorial in its diocesan newspaper:
...Georgetown has undergone a secularization, due in no small part to the fact that much of its leadership and faculty find their inspiration in sources other than the Gospel and Catholic teaching. Many are quite clear that they reflect the values of the secular culture of our age. Thus the selection of Secretary Sebelius for special recognition, while disappointing, is not surprising.
Read their blog post about Georgetown's controversial invitation to Kathleen Sebelius to speak here.
Read the entire editorial in the Catholic Standard here.
Georgetown University was named after the city, which was named after the king...of England that is.
The Cardinal Newman Society has an online petition which you may sign to express your dissatisfaction with Georgetown's invitation to Secretary Sebelius.
