'A Potemkin Village'

'Ignoring the magnitude of what is at stake in losing a major university like Georgetown to the well-organized efforts that are fundamentally anti-Catholic, some well-meaning friends or earnest Jesuit might want to point to the liturgies, the chaplains, the Knights of Columbus chapter, and so on. Georgetown administrators wish to assure us that they speak to the Archbishop and visit Rome regularly. We know the litany all too well. It describes a Potemkin village.'
William Peter Blatty
Georgetown University alum

FROM: letter to Cardinal Donald Wuerl wondering if it might become necessary to remove the label 'Catholic' and 'Jesuit' from the school based on its embrace of secularism.
