[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Liberal to conservative scale. Georgetown, Holy Cross, BC, and ND. Currently Georgetown and Holy Cross have non Jesuits - lay people
as their relatively new college Presidents.

Georgetown is more liberal than many secular universities. Catholic in name only!![/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.  [b]But no one looking for a Catholic university is putting Georgetown on their list[/b], not when there are so many wonderful Catholic universities like ND, Villanova,  BC, CU, HC, etc.[/quote]

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.[/quote]

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.[/quote]
