O my Jesus



Rendering Unto Caesar
by Patrick J. Buchanan




HUMAN EVENTS



At the request of the White House, Georgetown University covered up all the symbols in Gaston Hall, before the Great Man spoke, including IHS, the millennia-old monogram for the name of Jesus Christ.
Ignatius of Loyola, founder of the Society of Jesus, had adopted the monogram in his seal and it became an emblem of the Jesuit order.
When it comes to rendering unto Caesar, Georgetown is not going to be outshone by Notre Dame, which stole a march by offering the nation's avatar of abortion a doctorate of laws degree, honoris causa.
Actually, it is regrettable the IHS in Gaston Hall was not covered up in shame the first week of Lent. For that week Georgetown's feminist and homosexual clubs, such as GU Pride, put on a Gomorrah festival about alternative lifestyles called "Sex Positive Week."

SACERDOS




“They have abandoned the Fort, thosewho should have defended it.” (St. John Fisher)




Who held the Fort


Till the Calvary came


Fighting for all


In His Holy Name?




Who fed the sheep


As the pastures burned dry


A few Good Shepherds


Heeding their cry?




Who led the charge


‘Gainst heresy’s Huns


Defending the degreed


To His lowliest ones?




Who battened down


The hatch of the barque


To warm cold souls


From shivering-seas dark?




“Who?” mocks Satan


Delighting in doubt


Fills you with questions,


Never lets you find out.




“Hoc est enum


Corpus meum..."
and for many who kept


The dead words Te Deum!
