We cannot believe this wondrous event is almost here! How blessed Washington is to receive this theological giant of mercy, who truly is a light-bearer.
A reminder: Next Thursday, November 6, Walter Cardinal Kasper will receive a prestigious award from the Catholic University of America's theology school, delivering a lecture there on the "theological background of the ecclesiological and ecumenical vision of Pope Francis." About the award: For Excellence in Scholarship and Leadership in Religious Studies
Established in 1985 as the only academic award given by The Catholic University of America’s School of Theology and Religious Studies, the Quasten Medal is named after the Rev. Johannes Quasten, a professor of religious studies who taught at CUA for more than 30 years until his retirement in 1979.
According to the official flier, "All are Invited to Attend..."

My daughter is looking at Catholic colleges. We got Catholic University’s pamphlet which featured a cover photo and 3 inside photos of Muslim students. Thanks but no thanks.
Double-Shame On CUA - Dissident Cardinal Kasper To Receive Award From CUA
Two days ago the esteemed Cardinal Burke gave an interview to the Catholic World Report. In that interview he lamented that the SinNod was obviously orchestrated by certain elements (and Edward Pentin opines from the top - the Pope?) to advance progressive, dissident agendas. He also went so far as to say that Cardinal Kasper’s racist remarks were made to advance his dissident positions. It is obvious that indeed the remarks were a clumsy attempt to discredit Cardinal Napier. He might have gotten away with his lie had it not been for Edward Pentin’s recording.
Quite frankly, Cardinal Kasper has been shown to be a flaming dissident and a bald-faced liar.
Now comes the burning question Why, oh why, is the Catholic University of America going to bestow its Johannes Quasten Award on him on Nove 6th? See this Rorate Caeli post for the details. Apparently the attendees will also sit through his wind-bag exercise about the “Theological Background of the Ecclesiological and Ecumenical Vision of Pope Francis”. I don’t know about any of you, but I think the world has already had its face rubbed enough in that muddy mess of a “vision”. At the end of his closing remarks at the end of the SinNod, the pope said we now have “one year to mature”. “Mature” means to be brainwashed into accepting heresy. It’s odd how I’m just noticing now that “mature” and “manure” are different by only one letter - but in the context of the pope’s address I don’t think it’s that much of a difference. But with this address, the “manure-maturation” process will be underway! I am reminded of David Kupelian’s book The Marketing of Evil. He talks of the psychological process of jamming. Since the progressives in the Church are working for acceptance of the gay sin inside our Church, I can see him borrowing a tactic of gay activists.
But let’s get back to the Catholic University of America. What has gotten into them? As we saw yesterday, they are about to renege on their responsibilities as Catholic educators and let a gay rights activist be celebrated on campus. Now they’re going to bestow a prestigious award to a dissident cleric who has attempted to push through his warped agenda during last week’s SinNod. In prior posts I have lauded CUA for standing firm in Catholic matters, such as keeping their dorms unisex. Now with these two pieces of news that I share, I must wonder if they’ve been infected with that deadly disease known as “the Francis Effect”. Pray for CUA, for things don’t bode well for them spiritually.

Please note also that CUA President Garvey has invited Cardinal Muller to speak at Catholic University just three days before the Kasper talk.
Gay rights activist celebrated on CU campus?
Who?
Harvey Milk film.
One year during the 90s the zealous Cardinal Arinze gave the commencement address at Georgetown in Washington. As he specifically defended one by one the Church’s unpopular moral teachings, faculty members started leaving the stage and students started leaving the audience. But he kept going.
