Catholic University Suspends Dean for Pro-Kavanaugh Tweet

William Rainford suspended for tweeting his doubts about Kavanaugh accuser Julie Swetnick

WASHINGTON (ChurchMilitant.com) - A dean at the Catholic University of America (CUA) has been suspended after tweeting in favor of U.S. Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh.

William Rainford, dean of the National Catholic School of Social Service (NCSSS), tweeted on Sept. 26 from his official university Twitter account:

Swetnick is 55 y/o, Kavanaugh is 52 y/o. Since when do senior girls hang with freshmen boys? If it happened when Kavanaugh was a senior, Swetnick was an adult drinking with&by her admission, having sex with underage boys. In another universe, he would be victim & she the perp!

The tweet caused a firestorm of backlash among CUA students, and Rainford deleted the tweet amid the blowback and went on to issue an apology. CUA officials suspended Rainford from the position of dean for the rest of the semester.

The NCSSS dean's tweet was referring to the salacious allegation of Julie Swetnick, who claims she was at parties where a teenaged Kavanaugh would "drink excessively and engage in highly inappropriate conduct, including being overly aggressive with girls and not taking 'No' for an answer."

The Marxist, Jesuit (but I repeat myself) magazine “America” came out against Brett today.

The farthest thing from the Catholic faith is a Catholic university.

The current Pope is a Jesuit. Need I explain the effect? (I’m not Catholic, but know about some of the elements. There are more than a few flavors.)

Leftism is pretty common in Central and South America. Cultural issues and Corrupt government are also involved.

I do support Kavanaugh. He and I probably differ on a lot of things, but he is a breath of fresh air from what I’ve learned about him.

Note: the past 20 years is the first time in the history of the US that there was not a Protestant member of the Supreme Court.

I believe this is because of the infiltration of the Fed Gov by the extreme left (along with the universities, federal and state officials and the media. Some of this goes back to since the 1960’s.)

Lavender Mafia risks the loss of their court-invented “rights” as soon as the SCOTUS actually adheres to the law. The more they expose themselves, the sooner they sink.

Ping.

He has a point. The word (from a sworn statement) on her is that she liked group... activities.

so, was she assaulted at one of her parties... or just luring underage boys into her twisted sexual fantasies?

Yes; Satan is ruler of this world, even, especially,”Catholic” institutions.

There are many.

Mount St. Mary in Emmitsburg MD is one.
