| GU is very liberal and HC is moderate but leans left. BC is conservative and ND conservative with a stricter Catholic vibe. |
BC is not conservative |
| BC had 2 conservative Jesuit priests for last 50 years. |
| BC has gotten more conservative than it used to be but is still not there yet. |
Word salad. Probably just nonsense from the HC super booster. |
Yes, they don’t appeal to the type of people who’d vote for Trump because they follow the Jesuit ideals of social justice, diversity, and service to others. They are very Catholic, just not the RWNJ handmaiden version. |
There are some trolls who are desperate to insert ND even though it’s clearly off topic. |
Nah. I know it is noble on their part, but Campus ministry is top busy being everything to everyone with multiple faiths represented. Yes there is Catholic representation, but it is watered down like any other secular institution. The service opportunities are also watered down. ND and BC have extremely robust Campus ministries with great opportunities for students to serve right in their communities, elsewhere in the US, and abroad, while Georgetown is doing great service, but only in the immediate community (mimicking what most high school students do). Georgetown's president isn't even a priest. In a recent post about students finding faith on campus, Georgetown featured multiple faiths, including an atheist. The Catholic student talked about learning about other faiths...not so much about what it is to be Catholic. That says a lot. |
| Georgetown has accepted over $1b from Qatar in the last 20 years. No other Jesuit institution in this country (or any country? not sure about that) comes close. |
I wouldn't call them trolls. It's a thread about Jesuit schools, but people should have liberty to discuss other Catholic schools. And ND is the pinnacle of Catholic universities. |
They need the money with their pathetic endowment. |
Everything you’ve described is Jesuit. Not garden variety MAGA Catholic. |
Ha! Omg. Exactly. They opened on the premise they’d educate everyone—no matter religion, etc. My kids attended a Jesuit high school and learning about ALL religions is part of the Jesuit curriculum. You cannot be fully educated without diving deep into this. Its history, the cause of wars, understanding, etc. My kids visited mosques, synagogues, etc . They had 4 years required in world religions, systemic theology, ethics, social justice, etc. Part of our world’s problems stem from ignorance. |
LOL Georgetown is the only school taking it to this level, which you may consider Jesuit, but I consider turning its back on its Catholic identity. Let's remember that Jesuit is Catholic. |
Other Catholic schools study world religions. Georgetown isn’t alone here. Nice try trying to justify its turning its back on its Catholic roots. |
