Sad when a Cardinal can't talk about Catholic values at a Catholic University ...

[rovenstinez]

Sounds like he might command a little respect. I wonder if people didn't like some of the words Jesus spoke....uhmmmmm..

[RobbyS]

Praise God! He gave it to them right between the eyes. No American cardinal would have the guts. What a mockery the Jebbie colleges have become.

After four years of a liberal education what'd you'd expect from the students...The Cardinal speaks the truth! I only wish he would have addressed the child molestation by priests!

[Pan_Yans Wife]

I don't think particularly singled out homosexuals, but used a great list of evils in the culture that threaten the family. The Advocate is only singling out homosexuality. Saying that the family is mocked by homosexuality, is a true statement, isn't it?

Assumption that Georgetown is Catholic is a natural one. For so many years it had been a Catholic Seat of higher learning but that fact has faded from the scene many years ago.
Georgetown, and unfortunately they are not alone, is a result of poor Jesuits with poor judgement, poor faith in their Church, and a bent toward socialism running the schools formerly run by decent men of faith. Pray for the Jesuits, and there are many, who are good and faithful and have to put up with the likes of those at Georgetown.
Slowly the tide will turn. This deviancy in all walks of life will have to end before there is complete turnaround. Let's hope and pray so!

And why in hell does a "specialist in diaperhead studies" hold a ranking position at my alma mater, a formerly Jesuit school? I now believe I got in on the last of the good times [College,'69] at a great Jesuit school which, by the late 70's, was destroyed by the PC aids virus. Bung pirates, dope heads, dictatorial diversity uber alles, Klinton treated like a rock star, and don't even think about prayers before every class or a crucifix in every classroom. Georgetown is all gone. BTW, the arkie white trash sinkmaster did not graduate from the College. He "attended" the school of foreign service, which was [and presumably remains] a profit center funded by the parents of lower wattage grubs who had no chance of being admitted to the College. In those days the College entering classes had the nation's highest SAT verbal scores and the second highest SAT math scores, behind the geeks at MIT. Naturally, the Sinkmaster's transcripts have been expunged.

Was the angry letter written on pink letterhead?

[Malesherbes]

The same thing happened in a conclave of Anglican bishops in London a year ago. The African bishops in attendance denounced homosexuality - which drove the British and American attendees into a fury.

[narses]

Not sad, he did. He spoke the Truth. Thank God!

Seems to be rampant this year...i.e., St Joseph's last Sunday and the treatment of Sen. Santorum!

The Cardinal sounds as though he believes what a Pope is supposed to believe. The people who left just don't like to hear the truth.

[Frank_2001]

He would make an excellent Pope IMO.

[Clemenza]

Cardinal Francis Arinze of Nigeria

I had the opportunity to meet the Cardinal five years ago in Chicago. A wonderful man who would indeed make an excellent Pope.

[Clint N. Suhks]

mocked by homosexuality

Exactly!

Got that right. When my wife graduated from there several years ago the speaker was Ellenor Holmes Norton, what a breath of fresh air the Cardinal would have been.

[Zetman]

While the others were walking out, I would have been standing up and giving him a standing ovation!! Go Cardinal!!

[thegreatbeast]

The next pope will be challenged like no other pope. Let's get a bit more information about this Arinze before elevating him to follow Peter. Does he possess everything that will be needed to oversee and manage the rebirth of the Church?

[PennsylvaniaMom]

Amen to the good Cardinal...what is really sad is that those those have apparently devoted their lives to the faith don't believe in its very teachings...how could anyone ordained to the priesthood object to the statements made by the Cardinal.

[KC Burke]

What is interesting is that he took the topic of inter-faith relations and, in essence, said look to your own conduct and values.

If he had went into values equal in the various religions or other coequal type remarks, today's nominalists would have stood up and cheered. But, when asked to consider our own values, they take it as an insult to their "situational ethics."
