While I know this point has probably been discussed many a time, the fact that Georgetown is showing on the opening page of www.georgetown.edu a picture and caption regarding Fr. Drinian is disconcerting. While he has made great "strides" in the legal community, his consistent blatant defiance of Catholic teaching while in Congress is appalling. It's awful that Catholic university would embrace such false teaching. explore.georgetown.edu/news/?ID=1770www.cathfam.org/polrec/Fr.Drinan1.html |

A lot of our professors have controversial views. Should the University not feature Jeanne Kirkpatrick or Secretary Albright because they supported and even implemented military strategies condemned by the Vatican? It would be one thing if the Fr. Drinan were performing University-sanctioned masses that violated Catholic teaching in some way. Short of that, the fact that he is also a priest shouldn't mean that the University needs to distance itself from his career or scholarship -- which is largely in the best traditions of the Catholic Church's support for human rights.

Disconcerting, appalling, AND awful? Wow, someone ate their wheaties today.
Here's his quote from the Georgetown site:
"It goes back to the fact that you're a Christian and a Jesuit. ... It means you have to love each other and that you can't persecute people. You have to be compassionate to everyone in the world."
A true revolutionary. Certainly not the stuff we want Georgetown associated with.
Good points from Hilltopper. The University would be just as dumb to begin imposing ideological (religious or otherwise) tests on its professors as it would on its students.
