Officials at Georgetown University, a Catholic Jesuit institution, have directed Protestant campus ministers to be “welcoming” to the university’s newly established LGBTQ (Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgendered and Questioning) Resource Center by holding at least one joint activity, according to The Washington Times religion editor Julia Duin.Duin’s report is posted at http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2009/
jan/08/college-decrees-welcome-for-gays/.
“Four evangelical Protestant chaplains, all of whom are from ministries that believe homosexual activity is sinful, confirmed they got this mandate from the Rev. Constance C. Wheeler, the lead Protestant chaplain, who was passing along instructions from the president of Georgetown University, John J. DeGioia,” Duin reports.
Patrick J. Reilly, President of The Cardinal Newman Society, lamented yet another blow to Georgetown’s Catholic identity. “If Georgetown officials would once and for all stand up for the Catholic identity with which they are entrusted, rather than bowing to every politically correct mantra, they would be more concerned about The Vagina Monologues and pro-abortion activity on campus than bullying Protestant ministers.”
