Leftist Catholics Wary of Koch $1M Donation to Catholic University

 

On Friday, a group of left-wing Catholic academics bashed the Tea Party in a letter to John Garvey, President of Catholic University. They objected to the schools recent acceptance of a $1 million donation from the Charles Koch Foundation to help fund a new school of business.

 

In the December 13 letter, the 49 signators, including Reverend Stephen A. Privett, the Jesuit President of the University of San Francisco, as well as several faculty members at Catholic University, Boston College, Notre Dame, and Holy Cross, complained that Kochs Tea Party ideology conflicted with Pope Franciss November 24 apostolic exhortation, Evangelii Gaudium.
