The message is simple...we are under the wrath of God...Catholics are reaping what we have sowed. The Church is in retreat. Georgetown is run by the Society of Jesus, a Pontifical Right Religious Congregation. One comment seeks to criticize that local ordinary, but the ultimate ordinary in charge of the Jesuits is the Holy Father in Rome. I don't think you will hear a peep from the Vatican. Always the Bella Figura...things are fine. As for Catholic parents, they will still continue to send their children to Georgetown looking to live the American dream even if it costs them their souls.
Let's see....the cardinal has nothing to say, the USCCB has nothing to say and GU (and LMU, USF, BC, etc) does what it wants, when it wants - do the Jesuits really run things? It's clear that the hierarchy of the Church has ignored what goes on underneath their very noses for so long that they don't recognize the error and scandal that these pseudo-Catholic colleges promote. This also why young people leave the Church - they feel the Catholic Church is just like the Protestant one next door. These schools have failed to provide the moral foundation for generations of students, just as so many bishops have failed to teach the Magisterium.
I have always had a lot of respect for the Jesuits and their carism. However, the order's free reigning attitude in this affair is despicable. Their liberal attitude flies in the face of catholic doctrine. Their claim to this attitude is to find a "common ground" on the contraception, et als., issue, as they claim in their America magazine. However, it seems to me that their postion is contrary to Catholic doctrine as expounded by our Bishops. Between the Notre Dame fiasco and this one, anyone can see the Catholic church is certainly not catholic, at least not in teaching its doctrine.
Like the lawkeepers ,learned, the scribes & herods of Jesus times are these Professors, lawmakers, the Scribes & the Politicians of today through their presentations which is nothing but to Hypocrisy in the indulgences 'cause they fear not God, falling into the vile of the devil to a delusion which in religious terms are called Apostates who would even term the Biblical, lake of fire, to be an ocean of truth till such time they step in to find their truth., like in the days of Noe.
we no longer have a latin mass, divorced is dealt with differently, we eat meat on fridays, there is no high mass or low mass, womens heads do not need to be covered in church and the changes go on. we only pray to GOD not to saints as pagans pray to many gods. we all must live our lives and stand judgement some day and not be judges now as we have no judgement powers to pass, only God on judgement day will count.
The handling of this matter by the USCCB and Cardinal Wuerl will determine how seriously the laity take Cardinal Dolan's call to support the Church's campaign for protection of our freedom of religion. Will the bishops come down on Georgetown which still infers that it is a "Catholic university" when nothing could be farther from the truth? Is this just a PR campaign by the bishops, or will the Church take action to show that the issue is serious? Cardinals Wuerl and Dolan, we are eagerly awaiting your next move ...
Georgetown lost its status as a "Catholic" college long ago and continues to put dollars ahead of Catholic teachings. They give the religion a bad name and it is no wonder we have lost so many young Catholics to the worldly pleasures of society.
I HAVE 'ABSOLUTE' no use for Georgetown. ITS profs, ITS priests who allow the shinnagins and this fluke wmen to spread her stupidty...its all a charade and game...lets diss the FAITH and while we are at IT. GOD.
BTW the shriver/.swatznigger girls attend this prestigeus school FIGURES w.the rag lib MOM ....kennedy clan. SATANS pets.
What a shame! What a shame! I don't suppose there's much the local Bishop (or even the USCCB) can really do about this...? These Catholic Universities have a certain independence-- the details of which I don't know much about, but the mantra of this young woman for the "need" for contraceptive pills is sad, very sad. Of course, the President and his admirers must be beside themselves with adulation over this young, outspoken "Catholic" woman from a "Catholic" university. (Didn't she speak to Congress, lately, too?) As for Sandra: she is a "star!" What a shame, to say the least! May God have mercy on us, and on Sandra--and deliver us from the wiles of Satan "and all the evil spirits who go about the world seeking the ruin of souls!" Let us pray the Prayer to St. Michael be re-instated immediately after Mass, as it used to be--to remind us of the need for prayer in these days of huge "battles" with the "powers of this world," both invisible and visible!
It's amazing to how a so called Catholic college could alllow this to happen, I don't classify Georgetown being Catholic anymore it has caved in to the world veiws. They treat being pregnent as a sickness....truely soory time for our world.....guess satan is in control...
