Georgetown Celebrates Pride, Undermining Catholic Doctrine

By

Georgetown University, celebrates PRIDE June 2024 online, marking the 2008 establishment of an LGBTQA+ Resource Center. This milestone not only underscores the university’s commitment to inclusivity but also its unique position as the first Catholic, Jesuit higher education institution to take such a step. 

Georgetown uses education and inclusion as a mask to obscure its promotion of the LGBTQIA+ lifestyle and to push a broader agenda that falsely aligns the Catholic Church with the endorsement of the LGBTQIA+ lifestyle.    

Catholic doctrine emphasizes the traditional understanding of marriage between a man and a woman. By actively supporting LGBTQIA+ issues, Georgetown deviates from this teaching and challenges the authority of the Church in interpreting and upholding its doctrines.

Catholic moral teachings include principles related to human sexuality and the nature of sexual relationships. By promoting LGBTQIA+ issues, Georgetown endorses behaviors that are considered contrary to these moral teachings, thereby challenging the authority of the Church in guiding moral conduct.

The Catholic Church has a hierarchical structure with the Pope as the highest authority. When a Catholic university openly aligns itself with LGBTQIA+ issues, it disregards and challenges the directives and guidance of Church leadership, thereby questioning the authority and decisions made by the Church.

Georgetown, as a Catholic Jesuit University, may argue that its actions are aligned with the Jesuit values of promoting the common good and fostering a diverse and inclusive community.

It is important to recognize that Catholic universities have varying degrees of autonomy in their relationship with the Church. However, it is essential to note that promoting LGBTQIA + activities and advocating for LGBTQIA + rights conflicts with Catholic doctrine and teachings. Catholic doctrine emphasizes the traditional understanding of marriage as being between a man and a woman and homosexual acts as contrary to natural law.
