Disgrace at Georgetown

1. This is absolutely disgraceful -- Georgetown University covered up the IHS symbol in the room where the President was delivering an economics address, at the request of the White House. Yes, a Catholic university covered over the name of our Lord at the request of Caesar. Remember Mark 8:38? It's even in Bibles in the Jesuit tradition. I was so irate I blogged on this today.

2. Kathryn Jean Lopez reflects on Georgetown, NDU, Archbishop Dolan, and Jesus. See also her blog post here. Man, how does she do it? This is her third dead-on perfect column in a week. If only the Yankees could be on that kind of hot streak.

3. 33 Bishops. 306,000+ petition signatures. The first ever March for Life on their campus, supported strongly by the diocesan bishop. Is anybody in the University administration paying attention?

4. Prof. Matthew Franck thoroughly demolishes Prof. Doug Kmiec's latest apologia for the 100% anti-life President. It really is getting to the "shooting fish in the barrel" stage. (Although perhaps I shouldn't use such a metaphor, since Homeland Security is watching what I'm thinking and probably putting me in a watch list).

5. Kansas Gov. and maybe HHS Secretary Gov. Kathleen Sebelius' difficulties with the Eighth Commandment continue.

6. Meanwhile, Sen. Sam Brownback is certainly one of the good guys, but his explanation of why he supports Gov. Sebelius's nomination is lame in the extreme. Here's the winner for the Nonsensical Statement of the Week: "If you're going to have a pro-choice person in that position, it's better to have a Kansan". What, like the Governor's pal, George Tiller?

7. For those who want to know what our tax dollars will now be supporting, thanks to the 100% anti-life President, here's a snapshot of the Chinese population control policies, and the demographic and social havoc they have wrought.

8. If you're wondering why the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith is conducting a doctrinal inquiry into the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, this is all you really need to know: here and here. I'd be willing to bet any amount of money that if you were to ask a Sister of Life about her vocation, the name of Jesus would come up in the first sentence, and in almost every one thereafter.

9. Here's a look at what post-Christian Christianity looks like, courtesy of the Vicar of Putney of the Church of England. The Cross is still "a stumbling block to Jews, and folly to Greeks" (1 Cor. 1:23)

10. Here's what our new Archbishop said yesterday on Sirius Radio: "My first pastoral letter's gonna be a condemnation of light beer and instant mashed potatoes -- I hate those two things." Amen.

11. Blogged yesterday about the Installation Mass. I'm going to blog tomorrow about intrinsic evil. I don't mean to imply a connection between the two.
