WASHINGTON, May 14, 2012 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The Archdiocese of Washington has weighed in on Georgetown University’s invitation of U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius as a commencement speaker in clear terms, saying that the school has unmoored itself from Catholic identity and chosen a stance against the country’s Catholic bishops.

Secretary Sebelius is the primary figure behind the HHS mandate forcing religious groups to provide free sterilizations, abortifacient drugs, and other forms of birth control to employees under the new health care law. She is also known for her extreme pro-abortion record, most notably her close ties with late-term abortionist George Tiller during her time as governor of Kansas. She is listed as a commencement speaker at Georgetown’s Public Policy Institute.

“With all of the people struggling so hard to preserve freedom of religion, and with all that the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has said in defense of this important value, Georgetown’s choice of the architect of the radical challenge of such freedom for special recognition can only be seen as a statement of where the university stands – certainly not with the Catholic bishops,” states an unsigned editorial in the Archdiocesan newspaper. Msgr. Charles Pope of the Archdiocese’s official blog notes that the newspaper is “a recognized voice of the Archdiocese” and the editorial would have been reviewed by Cardinal Donald Wuerl’s senior staff.

Bad Catholic Kathleen Sebelius showing what a bad example she can be, and a Catholic University aiding her bad example.

Thank God the Archdiocese of Washington, DC is complaining...

[Elvina]

Yes, I am glad to see that there is an outcry against this outrage.

Are they going to cover the statue of Justice like they did before?

This witch attend Catholic schools all the way up: private catholic day school in Cincinnati (prep school) then Sisters of Notre Dame college (Trinity Washington University) in D.C. What hath “G-d” wrought? Or is this Rosemary’s “Baby”? [Spoiled brat of failed Ohio Governor John Gilligan]

Hey, Pittsburgh Donnie Wuerl....grow a pair and sign your name to it already!

[Jacquerie]

Despots require ruthless counselors to implement their horrors. Sebelius is Hussein’s Reinhard Heydrich.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Her bishop back in Kansas said she's not to receive the Sacrament of Holy Communion without repentance, and Abp Wuerl said he'd respect her "home" bishop's ruling.

It's not really wholehearted compliance with

But it helps.
