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.


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.


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

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.

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.
