Georgetown is more liberal than many secular universities. Catholic in name only!!

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.

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.

Everything you’ve described is Jesuit. Not garden variety MAGA Catholic.

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.

Well then, don't send your kids there. I am Catholic, made my First Communion at a Jesuit parish, am a member of a Jesuit parish now and see Georgetown as Jesuit AND Catholic.

I think the number is closer to 3 billion.

Considering you posted this in the "Jesuit" thread, you failed to mention even one Jesuit school here.

There are some trolls who are desperate to insert ND even though it’s clearly off topic.

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.

And by “them trolls” and “people” I mean me - I need to interject ND’s superiority into every single thread, regardless of relevance.

Are you referring to the Georgetown U campus in Qater?

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.

Yup. Jesuit schools promote diversity and critical thinking.

No wonder the MAGA Catholics hate it.

MAGAs trying to force their definition of “Catholic” on everyone else, including other Catholics. They do seem to struggle with the concept of consent.

Probably the same a-holes who hated Pope Francis, who was undeniably Catholic *and* Jesuit.

I attended a Diocesan high school ~ 40 years ago and they also taught world religions, ethics/philosophy and social justice. No different than my son’s Jesuit HS.
GU is a great school, but even many secular schools have a more vibrant Catholic community.

Georgetown and its Jesuits have openly rejected Catholicism.

This is a thread specifically about Catholic universities. Of course Catholics are going to point out the obvious about Georgetown and it no longer being a Catholic university.

Georgetown's website does not mention "catholic" on its first page.

You have to go to the drop down menu, under "Who We Are" then to the second tab to get a mention of Catholic.

On the "Our Catholic and Jesuit Heritage" tab, Catholic is barely mentioned, around halfway down the page.

When you click on the Campus Ministry page, the Catholic stuff is brushed aside with no prominence.


Georgetown seems to no longer considers itself Catholic.

Why would anyone be surprised that Catholics no longer consider Georgetown to be Catholic?

It's a great secular university. But no one looking for a Catholic university is putting Georgetown on their list, not when there are so many wonderful Catholic universities like ND, Villanova, BC, CU, HC, etc.

Other Catholic schools study world religions. Georgetown isn’t alone here. Nice try trying to justify its turning its back on its Catholic roots.

I have a strong feeling you know very little about Jesuit roots. Or most things about actual Catholicism for that matter.

There is an excellent girls’ Catholic high school right down the road from Georgetown and a ton of them not only put Georgetown on their list but end up going there. I get that part of being MAGA Catholics is thinking you speak for everyone but please don’t.

Wrong again. VISI is only sending 2 out of over 100 girls there this year while they are sending many to ND and BC because they are actual Catholic universities.

This year it is 2. Other years it has been as many as 6. Please stop being so weird. You make Catholics look bad.

Georgetown is by far the oldest Catholic school followed by Notre Dame and Holy Cross. The rest are former commuter schools. Anyone who knows a bit about Catholic Higher Education knows that and while GU may not wear Catholicism on it’s sleeves it is definitely Catholic.
