[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's hard for me to believe it won't have an impact.  I went to a coed Jesuit high school (not metro DC area), and I have to say it's affected my support of the school.  I've been getting calls about attending an upcoming fundraising event, and right now I just can't bring myself to financially support a Jesuit, Catholic institution.  I suspect this is not an uncommon feeling, as based on the frequency of the calls I think attendance and support must be down overall.[/quote]

You my friend are a loser. You are going to withhold your support from your Alma Mater because a man at another school may, MAY, have committed a crime 36 years ago? Let me say it again, you are a loser. Not because of the priests, not because Georgetown University owned slaves, not because of the criminals that have been ACCUSED, let alone convicted that actually went to your school but this is your reason?[/quote]

I think it’s safe to say that those of us who went to a catholic schools have had a lot of conflicted emotions and issues to work through over the last few years.  I’m not that PP but I imagine this is just yet another  blow to lead to even more discomfort about supporting these institutions.[/quote]
