Pope Addresses Catholic Educators - Georgetown College

Pope Benedict XVI called on U.S. Catholic university presidents and educators to “recognize that the profound responsibility to lead the young to truth is nothing less than an act of love” during a private gathering on April 17.

This is “intellectual charity,” Benedict said as he reiterated the importance of Catholic schools and expressed gratitude for educators.

These words have rippled across Georgetown administrators and provided strong encouragement for the work the university undertakes, according to senior university leaders.
