Rendering Unto CaesarPosted 04/17/2009
At the request of the White House, Georgetown University covered up all the symbols in Gaston Hall, before the Great Man spoke, including IHS, the millennia-old monogram for the name of Jesus Christ.
Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, had adopted the monogram in his seal and it became an emblem of the Jesuit order.
When it comes to rendering unto Caesar, Georgetown is not going to be outshone by Notre Dame, which stole a march by offering the nation's avatar of abortion a doctorate of laws degree, honoris causa.
Actually, it is regrettable the IHS in Gaston Hall was not covered up in shame the first week of Lent. For that week Georgetown's feminist and h*m*s*xual clubs, such as GU Pr*de, put on a G*morrah festival about alternative lifestyles called "S*x Positive Week."
Link (here) to frank confrontation of the issues that are faced in higher education by the Jesuit educated Pat Buchanan.
