Georgetown, Revisited

Apparently, opposing abortion and those who support it are not as au courant and cool for the academic pooh-bahs at Georgetown as opposing a rising Republican congressman who is pro-life. From the National Catholic Register:

Patrick Deneen, the founding director of the Tocqueville Forum on the Roots of American Democracy at Georgetown University, and several other faculty members drafted a letter to Georgetown's president, John DeGioia, asking him to rescind the Georgetown Public Policy Institute’s invitation to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius. Deneen supplied a copy of the letter to the Register and said that his group invited a “large number of faculty to join, including all faculty in Catholic studies and all signers of the letter to Congressman [Paul] Ryan, along with faculty whom we believed might be inclined to sign. A total of nine faculty elected to sign this letter.” ...

Only one of Ryan letter signatories agreed to sign the letter to DeGioia, he told the Register.

Don't tell me that secular liberalism isn't the driving ideological force at nearly all of the nation's "respected" Catholic universities.
