This is not really a shock if one has kept up with events over the last 30 years.
The incoming president of Georgetown University has said he repudiates the Catholic Church’s teachings on homosexuality. He also appeared to criticize the Supreme Court’s reversal of Roe v. Wade.
The nominally Catholic, Jesuit university in Washington, D.C., recently announced its selection of Eduardo Peñalver as its new president, to start next year. Peñalver is currently the president of Seattle University, another Jesuit university....
...Peñalver has previously said he thinks the Catholic Church erred in its teachings on homosexuality.
“I reject the Church’s teachings on homosexuality, so I would favor an even easier way out by treating committed gay relationships as morally valuable,” Peñalver wrote in 2014 in Commonweal. He was responding to criticism of the Archdiocese of Seattle for removing a Catholic high school’s male vice-principal who “married” another man. “I take inspiration in my own marriage from the committed gay couples I have known,” he said.
As the dean of Cornell University’s law school, the new Georgetown president also advocated for keeping gender-confused men and women in the military. He said Trump’s proposed ban in 2017 on “transgender” troops was an “unprecedented step backwards in the progress towards greater tolerance and inclusion in our nation’s military.”...
The last actually-Catholic prof at Georgetown, Fr. Jim Schall, died a few years ago. That was about 25 years after Georgetown became ANTI-Catholic. Fr. Schall was a tough cookie!

I will let Saint Paul reply
Romans 1
21**Because that, when they knew God, they have not glorified him as God, or given thanks; but became vain in their thoughts, and their foolish heart was darkened. **22**For professing themselves to be wise, they became fools. **23**And they changed the glory of the incorruptible God into the likeness of the image of a corruptible man, and of birds, and of fourfooted beasts, and of creeping things.
**24**Wherefore God gave them up to the desires of their heart, unto uncleanness, to dishonour their own bodies among themselves. **25**Who changed the truth of God into a lie; and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed for ever. Amen.
**26**For this cause God delivered them up to shameful affections. For their women have changed the natural use into that use which is against nature. **27**And, in like manner, the men also, leaving the natural use of the women, have burned in their lusts one towards another, men with men working that which is filthy, and receiving in themselves the recompense which was due to their error.
**28**And as they liked not to have God in their knowledge, God delivered them up to a reprobate sense, to do those things which are not convenient; **29**Being filled with all iniquity, malice, fornication, avarice, wickedness, full of envy, murder, contention, deceit, malignity, whisperers, **30**Detractors, hateful to God, contumelious, proud, haughty, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, **31**Foolish, dissolute, without affection, without fidelity, without mercy. **32**Who, having known the justice of God, did not understand that they who do such things, are worthy of death; and not only they that do them, but they also that consent to them that do them.
