Georgetown University needs an exorcism

            Remember the 1971 fiction book and the movie, The Exorcist, that was  about Jesuit priests from Georgetown University conducting an exorcism on a girl who lived nearby the university and was possessed by demons?   The author of that book, William Peter Blatty, graduated from Georgetown in 1950, and he now thinks Georgetown is possessed by demons and needs a good exorcism.  

Like many graduates of that Catholic university, Blatty is fed up with the scandals there which include:

* removing crucifixes from the classrooms

* allowing the vile play, The Vagina Monologues, to be performed on campus

* covering up religious statues when President Obama spoke there

* hosting pro-abortion and Catholics-in-name only such as Nancy Pelosi, Joe Biden, and  Kathleen Sibelius

* Georgetown faculty’s support of Obamacare and its provisions that attack religious liberty

* Georgetown faculty’s protesting a speech by Vice Presidential candidate and devout Catholic Paul Ryan

He is also embarrassed by Georgetown law student Sandra Fluke demanding free contraceptives to be paid for by fellow Catholics and all other tax payers.  

He is especially aggrieved that the Jesuits who run the university have failed to comply with the directive of the late Pope John Paul II for Catholic Universities to comply with

Catholic doctrine which Georgetown has ignored for many years in an effort to be more “secular” and appeal to non-Catholics.

            So, Blatty plans to petition the papal nuncio (ambassador) of the USA to ask for a “visitation” from Vatican authorities to investigate and decide if Georgetown should remain as a Catholic institution (as was recently done for a group of far-left American nuns and for a radical leftist Catholic university in Latin America).  Blatty is looking for others to sign the petition and has formed a society to help with this effort to reform Georgetown.   So, he formed The Father King Society which is named for a Jesuit priest who fought for reforms at Georgetown many years ago when it also strayed from its charter to provide an education in keeping with Catholic teaching and tradition.
