A Georgetown Suggestion

I found this on GetRe­li­gion and was so tick­led I thought I’d pass it along here:

what would hap­pen if lead­ers of the kicked-off-cam­pus George­town Uni­ver­si­ty chap­ter of Inter­Var­si­ty Chris­t­ian Fel­low­ship applied to the lead­er­ship of the Jesuit school for per­mis­sion to hold a pub­lic forum this week in which stu­dents and fac­ul­ty would be asked to read and then peace­ful­ly dis­cuss the text of Pope Bene­dict XVI’s actu­al speech text on faith, rea­son and jihad?

Per­haps the event could be held at the well-endowed Prince Alwaleed Bin Talal Cen­ter for Mus­lim-Chris­t­ian Under­stand­ing on the cam­pus?

Just think­ing out loud, you know. I am sure the cam­pus admin­is­tra­tion would wel­come such a request by the oust­ed Protes­tant groups to orga­nize an ecu­meni­cal and even inter­faith event focus­ing on the intel­lec­tu­al thought of a man that George­town must real­ize is in the main­stream of Catholic intel­lec­tu­al life.

I don’t think it’s going to hap­pen, but it’s fun to fan­ta­size about.
