Patrick Deneen on Georgetown U

Just in case you have an acquaintance who is a Georgetown grad and proud of it....

...Deneen — who had grown more interested in Catholic intellectual traditions during his time in Washington — expressed his disappointment with Georgetown’s faltering commitment to its Catholic roots. “Georgetown increasingly and inevitably remakes itself in the image of its secular peers, ones that have no internal standard of what a university is for other than the aspiration of prestige for the sake of prestige, its ranking rather than its commitment to Truth,” he wrote....

The death of Fr. James Schall, SJ., was very significant, indeed.

Now the question:  how long will it take Deneen to figure out that Notre Dame ain't much different?
