In an interview with EWTN's "The World Over's" Raymond Arroyo, The Exorcist author and 1950 graduate, William Blatty spoke about the reasons for the canon law petition on Georgetown University that has been submitted to the Archdiocese of Washington, D.C.'s Cardinal Donald Wuerl. The petition compiled by Blatty and The Cardinal Newman Society addresses numerous scandals at the University and whether it can continue to describe itself as Catholic. -

I saw the interview: very compelling. It’s time to strip rogue “Catholic” universities of their Catholic identity.

Georgetown is a Catholic University?

Could’a fooled me.

How about Gaytown University?

Or perhaps Secular University?

Or even WhateverYouWant U?

Excellent -- hope he is successful. My experiences with GU were most disappointing in the moral/spiritual arena.

Here's another relevant article from the same web site:

President Obama Criticizes Catholic Education

Has the Muslim-in-chief ever criticized the teachings of Allah? I didn’t think so.

Needs repeating.

From the article:
"Students tell us they get hooted at, ridiculed, and called stupid because of their faith.... It's a Potemkin village," added Blatty. "This is the oldest Catholic university in America. We want them to become better, honest, and more Catholic."

Hard to imagine, isn't it?

"It’s time to strip rogue “Catholic” universities of their Catholic identity."

Absolutely. It's amazing to me that it's not only the administration or the faculty, but the students as well who are making a mockery of the Catholic nature of the University. They've obviously corrupted the admissions process just as much as everything else.
