Outrage!! Catholic Georgetown Chooses Sebelius For Commencement

 
Friday, May 04, 2012 7:06 PM 

I can't believe it. I can, but I can't.

One of the leading ostensibly Catholic Universities, Georgetown, has invited the author of the virulently anti-Catholic HHS mandate, HHS Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, to be one of its commencement speakers.

There is no way to interpret this other than a direct slap and challenge to the USCCB.  Georgetown needs to lose its Catholic certification immediately.  The Cardinal Newman Society reports:

In what can only be interpreted as a direct challenge to America’s Catholic bishops, Georgetown University has announced that “pro-choice” Catholic Kathleen Sebelius, Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and lead architect of the Obama administration’s assault on religious freedom through the HHS contraception mandate, has been invited to speak at one of Georgetown’s several commencement ceremonies.

The Cardinal Newman Society has posted a petition to protest this outrage here: GeorgetownScandal.com.  It has also alerted Washington Cardinal Donald Wuerl and sent a letter to Georgetown President John DeGioia urging him to immediately withdraw the invitation.

We cannot allow this to happen or we cannot allow Georgetown to carry the name Catholic.

In the defining battle of our generation over religious libertyy and the rights of conscience, you are either with us or against us.  Georgetown has now affirmed, they are against us.

And the sucking sound you hear is another so-called “Catholic” so-called “university” swirling down the toilet.

Gluttons for punishment or sumfin? I know some Catholics are big on suffering but this is ridiculous!!!

I can believe it.

Signed the petition with a prayer that our voices will be heard.

What an outrage! My father got his Ph.D from Georgetown in 1963. Things were much different there then. He must be spinning in his grave!



Nos genuflectitur ad non princeps sed Princeps Pacem!

Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

I didn’t follow the Fluke thing, so I can’t answer your question. I do know that when Obama spoke there he made them cover up the symbol for Christ = IHS

Let’s hope a lot of other people sign it too. That’s why I posted it on the news forum.

She’s one of the Satanists, reincarnated from a murdering Bolshevik. It makes me physically nauseous to read this story.

“Georgetown needs to lose its Catholic certification immediately.”

Absolutely!

I will sign the petition.

Georgetown is neither Catholic nor in any other way Christian. Georgetown should just as well declare itself Episcopalian and invite Vicki Jean Robinson. Ichabod! The Glory has departed!

Georgetown began its downfall in the late 1960’s when the administration gave in (caved in) to the demands of a handful of psycho SDSers (See: House Internal Security Committee, Hearings on SDS, 1969-70).

They have hired pro-Islamic jihadism/fundamentalist faculty and their law school had several hardcore reds/sympathizers (Cole, Drinan) as teachers. Also the former head of the Communist Party of DC/VA, Maurice Jackson, is/was a professor of African-American studies there.

Then you had GTU nymphomaniac Sandra Fluke (as in Fluke Me) and her deliberate pro-Obama contraceptive hoax.

I’m sure that Dean Edmund Walsh just spun around in his grave.

Don't be idiots. Georgetown is no more a Catholic University than charnel house/abortion mill Notre Dame. Neither abortuary has any official connection to the Roman Catholic Church.

Thanks for those facts.

Another interesting thing that many may not be aware of is that Sibelius has been excommunicated by her Bishop back in Kansas.

She is no longer a Catholic, period!

Catholic universities are in the toilet.

My dad was a professor at Notre Dame in the early to mid

60’s.(Father Hesbergh, Dean)

ND was very conservative then.....not now.

I went to Boston College in the early 70’s, because it was

a conservative school....now the have Gay Pride Week

If Sinbelius put a free condom over her head, then she would be safe speaking anywhere.
