Georgetown University's first openly gay student president was sworn in
with his hand not on the Bible but "opens the door to a new ethical understanding and acceptance
of homosexual relationships as morally good, and gay love as a deeper
sharing in divine love."

Tisa told The Hoya he chose the book because it redefines Catholicism in a way that affirms LGBTQ Catholics and other groups.
“I thought it had special significance at Georgetown, where our Catholic
and Jesuit identity is a strong and crucial part of our heritage that
can promote, rather than conflict with, our values of diversity,
inclusion and the dignity of all members of our community,” Tisa
reportedly said. Tisa said one of his main goals is gender-neutral housing on the Jesuit campus.

I suppose we can take some consolation that at least he was not profaning the Bible. I long for the day when the Archdiocese of Washington can find its own way to strip Georgetown of its "Catholic" designation - a title they forfeited long ago.
