When President Obama gave his economics speech at Georgetown University on Tuesday, several folks noticed something was missing.
That "something" was an ancient monogram -- the letters IHS -- that symbolizes the name of Jesus. It was missing from a wooden archway above the dais in Gaston Hall where the president delivered his 45-minute speech.
The gold-lettered monogram appeared near a painting of three female figures -- symbolizing morality, faith and patriotism -- and decorative edging along the wall that spelled out the Jesuit motto "Ad majorem Dei gloriam"—"To the greater glory of God." Georgetown was founded by the Jesuits.
Some of them may have been turning in their graves in the cemetery across campus at the sight of the missing monogram which looked like a blacked-out space above a blue backdrop and a row of American flags flanking the nation's chief executive. Was Georgetown selling short its Catholic heritage, we wondered.
I contacted the university this morning to ask why the monogram -- in this post-Easter season -- was hidden as its absence had been noted by several bloggers, including Dawn Eden -- formerly of the New York Post -- on her dawn patrol blog.
Julie Bataille from the university's press office e-mailed me that the White House had asked that all university signage and symbols behind the stage in Gaston Hall be covered.
"The White House wanted a simple backdrop of flags and pipe and drape for the speech, consistent with what they've done for other policy speeches," she wrote. "Frankly, the pipe and drape wasn't high enough by itself to fully cover the IHS and cross above the GU seal and it seemed most respectful to have them covered so as not to be seen out of context."

What kind of a guest?
One who considers himself Jr god even though he’s just satan’s stooge.
Have to remember that . . .
BARAKULA
OTHUGA
BARFBOT

SHELL FROM HELL
STOOGE FROM SLUDGE
STALKING HORSE FOR THE AC
When we see the UN flags instead . . . we’ll know that the global oligarchy tyrannical government is virtually overtly in place.
I THOROUGHLY AGREE.
I read a recent quote by . . . let me see if I can find it . . .
Here:
Monsignor Corrado Balducci, a Vatican theologian, said: “Extraterrestrial contact is a real phenomenon. The Vatican is receiving much information about extraterrestrials and their contacts with humans from its embassies in various countries, such as Mexico, Chile and Venezuela.”
That and a list of other stuff such as the Georgetown incident with OThuga . . . leave me feeling far more uneasy about the Vatican’s . . . likely direction/allegiance vis a vis the looming global oligarchy.
I hope I’m wrong. It’s looking increasingly disturbing every time I turn around and hear some other news item about RC’s compromising on things that shouldn’t be compromised.
Thanks for replying to this older post Quix.
I neither believe, nor disbelieve as to E.T.’s, I am open minded. If God created our world, who can say he didn’t create others?
As to the Roman Catholics. I am old school, you cannot change the basic beliefs or commandments. Those who try to are not real Catholics.
There is merit in that aspect as long as it’s the truly BIBLICAL principles and truths that are involved.
I still see !!!!TRADITION!!!! for tradition’s sake in any Christian organization as
as deadly as it was in Christ’s earthly ministry time.
But dogged clinging to the Biblical truths and particularly to God is essential.
Don’t worry, they find a way to flower it up and try to pass it off through plausible deniability.
No doubt.
They are pretty good at covering their tracks.
However, God is better at uncovering them.
The last thing Obama wants is a glowing head shot with IHS centered above it. His leftist cabal would have an absolute meltdown.
I concur Quix. Well stated!
Thanks for your kind and perceptive affirmation.
BLESSED BE THE NAME AND WORD OF THE LORD.
Amen.
