Georgetown Says It Covered Over Name of Jesus to Comply With White House Request
CNS NEWS.com ^ | Wednesday, April 15, 2009 | By Edwin Mora

SNIPPET: "Georgetown University says it covered over the monogram “IHS”--symbolizing the name of Jesus Christ—because it was inscribed on a pediment on the stage where President Obama spoke at the university on Tuesday and the White House had asked Georgetown to cover up all signs and symbols there."

SNIPPET: "Roman Catholics traditionally use “IHS” as an abbreviation for Jesus’ name."

SNIPPET: "Although the monogram was removed from the wooden pediment on the Gaston Hall stage where it would have been directly above and behind President Obama as he spoke, the letters “IHS” are posted elsewhere around the hall approximately 26 times on shields representing different parts of the United States and the world."

My oldest daughter just made the same remark to me when I told her about this... Her first comment: “Isn’t that like what Peter did?”

When I have visited the Capitol, I am astounded at the paintings, engravings, the religious mottos and slogans that abound...he better get to work pasting over a lot of scripts and labels.

Great point! How many ways will catholics be insulted before they stop playing door mat to people who disrespect them by their mere presence?

Offended by IHS?

I would have put “POS” with an arrow underneath pointing downward.

Disgusting pandering to the closet Muslim.

I really think I would have been more offended had Obama stood under the pediment with the IHS inscription visable above his head. I think that would have been very inappropriate.

That said, I can't stand the man, I believe him to be evil, and I just wish he would have given his speech from the Oval Office. But he probably doesn't remember where that is since he is hardly in there anymore. Why did he have to go to Georgetown U anyway? Or, he could have just sent the Teleprompter.

Since mosques have no statues or images of man or beast, the only thing they would tend to have is words. Just words. I thought Obama said words matter. He is so much worse than I thought he would be. It’s almost as if he tries to upset normal Americans as often as possible.

THANK YOU for posting the scripture. I was going to post it but you have beaten me to it. Oh, the words of Jesus were never truer than now... for asking the Father to “forgive them for they know not what they do” seems to ringer louder and louder in my ears. They truly KNOW not. HIS sheep hear his voice and they KNOW not the voice of the Master; neither are they HIS sheep.

Mat 12:21 And in his name shall the Gentiles trust.

Jhn 1:12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, [even] to them that believe on his name:

Jhn 20:31 But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name.

Act 10:43 To him give all the prophets witness, that through his name whosoever believeth in him shall receive remission of sins.

1Jo 3:23 And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment.
