Walsh had been at Georgetown for many decades before JFK arrived at Georgetown. <br />I also note that Senator McCarthy did not campaign for Henry Cabot Lodge (thus against JFK) in the Senate election of 1952, when McCarthy was at the height of his popularity, and, due to health reasons, JFK was not present in the Senate to vote for or against the censure of McCarthy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44918019052750220.post-78512794048854144642011-10-04T23:19:43.005-04:002011-10-04T23:19:43.005-04:00Awesome insight!Awesome insight!Joseph Frommhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16759274486679530625noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-44918019052750220.post-14322370070615821052011-10-04T21:59:59.929-04:002011-10-04T21:59:59.929-04:00Likely the Jesuit with whom JFK had a "misund...Likely the Jesuit with whom JFK had a "misunderstanding", given that JFK lived in Georgetown, close to the University, was Fr. Edmund Walsh, S.J., the Founding Dean of the School of Foreign Service. Fr. Walsh was a close friend of Senator Joseph McCarthy, with whom JFK served in the Congress. I would not be shocked if Fr. Walsh tried to steer JFK to many of the same view of Senator Joseph McCarthy at the time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
