By writing to the Georgetown president
who publicly honored a rabid pro-abortion US senator and also by praying for him, I desire to perform a spiritual work of mercy. I encourage everyone to be bold, be prayerful, and to love
much—both God and neighbor—as you shine your Catholic light before all.

Dear. President DeGioia,
“From
everyone to whom much has been given, much will be required; and from the one
to whom much has been entrusted, even more will be demanded” (Luke 12:48).

You have been given
much, President DeGioia. The unborn have nothing except immortal souls and
those who should be looking out for them.

Georgetown is often
made fun of as the least Catholic of all Catholic colleges and even
anti-Catholic as it would seem to be the case by your honoring Senator Dick
Durbin. He has voted to expand research to more embryonic stem cell lines, voted
against making it a crime to harm an unborn child during a crime, voted against
banning the grisly procedure known as partial birth abortions and against
banning human cloning. He is banned by his own Bishop Thomas Paprocki from
receiving Communion for voting against the Pain-Capable Unborn Child Protection
Act which prohibited abortion at 20 weeks.

Yet, you presented Durbin with
the Timothy S. Healy, S.J. Award for devoting “his life to the core Jesuit
value of service to others.” I strive to live a life of service was once a
Jesuit volunteer and served on the Flathead Indian Reservation in Montana in
1984-85. To claim a life of service to God while ignoring the slaughter of innocents is a mockery. And then to honor
and elevate a man at the helm of this slaughter is unconscionable.

By leading other
Catholics astray it would be better to have a millstone around your neck. You
are in a position of leadership and influence but have chosen badly. I pray
that you have a change of heart and seek ye first the Kingdom of God, of which the
unborn are a part.
