Georgetown Scandal - Take Action!

Back

Wednesday, May 9, 2012 - By American Life League

Catholic universities have an obligation to uphold and revere the teachings of Christ and His Church—and to instruct others how to do the same. When a high-ranking member of the government—who claims to be Catholic but does not follow the teachings of the Church—is thrust upon students, there must be an outcry.

Georgetown University has invited none other than the pro-abortion "Catholic" secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), Kathleen Sebelius, to be the speaker at the diploma ceremony for Georgetown University’s Public Policy Institute on Friday, May 18.

Please e-mail Cardinal Wuerl, , and politely request that he publicly advise Georgetown University’s Public Policy Institute to withdraw Secretary Sebelius as speaker at the diploma ceremony.

Please also sign the petition at the Cardinal Newman Society’s website: http://www.georgetownscandal.com/

Please do not allow Sec. of Dept. of Health & Human Serves. to not be speaker at diploma ceremony for Georgetown University Public Policy Institute, as she is against the teachings of the Catholic Church by her public policies! Sincerely, Patricia Harlor

Your Eminence. I find your total silence in the matter of Georgetown University and Kathleen Sebelius to be scandalous. What exactly are your pastoral duties regarding the Catholic faith and the Catholic faithful? I'm sorry but your inaction is breaking my heart Wayne Klenotic

Please avoid the scandal by cancelling the appearance of pro-abort Kathleen Sebelius.

Excellency, My son attended Georgetown because we believed the Jesuits to be leading educators and the Catholic faith to be respected and honored by them. How can you permit an avowed enemy of the Catholic Church and its First Admendment rights even set foot on that revered campus? Please do the right thing and end this scandal. Thank you, Ronald Joseph Wildman Claremont, California

A Gosnell Lesson

by Judie Brown

May

While we were all horrified by the actions of Kermit Gosnell, we should likewise be horrified by the millions of babies killed since abortion was decriminalized, and by the number of lives lost because of contraception. A baby is a baby from the moment he is created, but most people either choose to ignore that fact or remain uneducated. We must learn from the horrors we have seen and vow to do whatever we can to ensure that life, in all stages, is respected and protected.

The Pope, a Cardinal, and Courageous Deeds

by Judie Brown

Throughout history, during scandals and difficult times, men have stood up for what is right and for what should happen according to God’s will and the natural law. Today is no different, though we do not see this heroism as often as we should. Yet, in recent days, we have seen wonderful examples of this. Read today’s commentary for some inspirational stories.

Motherhood Has Become a Cultural Anomaly!

by Judie Brown

May

Mother’s Day is Sunday. Traditionally, it is a day to honor and respect all that mothers do and sacrifice for the sake of their children. And while this day is important, special, and necessary, we can’t help but wonder what our country would be like if we celebrated mothers every day. If mothers and babies were held in the highest regard, as they should be, each and every day of the year, think about the lives that could be spared. Think about the heartache that would not come about because a mother chose to abort her child. That would truly be a celebration.

Plan B Contributes to Twisted Diversity

by Judie Brown

May

When a society teaches its children to value things above people and to value personal pleasure above all else, what is the result? A society of people who no longer care about their own health, well-being, or future, or about the well-being of others. This misguided notion of what is important leads them into a dangerous lifestyle, and this is where a seemingly innocuous little pill enters. Yet if you delve into this pill—not only what it does, but what it represents—you will find a horror story to rival some of the best. Except that this is reality.

Are Gosnell's Coldblooded Acts a Logical Result?

by Judie Brown

May

We all know how easy it is to become sensitized to something—whether it be violence on TV, song lyrics on the radio, or something else entirely. But what kind of nation do we live in when we find the majority of people sensitized to the killing of innocent babies? For 40 years now, it has been legal for a mother to have her tiny child killed. For 40 years, too few tears have been shed for these babies. And now we discover a man like Kermit Gosnell, who devalues life so much that he stabs it out of a baby with a pair of scissors. This is what the last 40 years has brought us. What will happen in the next 40?
