"Fr. Norm" - 80-Year-Old Priest Arrsted, Jailed at Notre Dame
YouTube ^ | May 16, 2009 | Pass the Salt

Posted on 05/16/2009 6:57:23 AM PDT by Mrs. Don-o

Here is the video of Fr. Norm Weslin's arrest by University of Notre Dame police. He was carrying a cross and singing a hymn in honor of the mother of Jesus Christ ---"Our Lady" -- "Notre Dame."

What evil deed did they think he was going to do if they didn't arrest him: launch a devastatng, full-scale Rosary barrage?

As of posting time, the number of views on this video is 307. That is pathetic. It needs to be 307,000.

Action Assignment: every Catholic diocese, almost every parish, and most churches of other denominations have websites, and on these websites are e-mail addresses --- usually a number of them --- which you can "harvest" to make yourself a Church Contact List.

Do it. Get the e-mail address of every official and the head of every department in your diocese, parish, church, fellowship, or ministry,and then send every one of them a link to this video.

Not only that, but --- this is not an entertainment, it is a participatory obligation --- please use every means you know of, to make this video go viral.

Liberalism works its magic on Notre Dame.

This is meant to be an AD-HOC action list to (selectively) report and urge specific actions to stop Obama and win the Battle of Notre Dame. This is not just for Catholics. It's for anybody who wants to "put down the mighty from their thrones" (baby-killers in high places) and to "lift up the humble" (tiny infants and their valiant defenders).

Unless told otherwise, I will cheerfully keep you on my list.

If you want me to delete your name, I will just as cheerfully remove you if you will send me a "Private Message".

I'm asking for "Private Message" for deletions only, to ensure that I see your request.

It might be a small point, but Notre Dame is not a Catholic university, it is a Jesuit university that most people identify as Catholic. From my experience, if you ask a Jesuit, “Are you a Jesuit first, or a Catholic first?”, there would be a pause, regardless of what the verbal response would be.

There must be more than one youtube version out there. When I watched earlier this moring, there were more than 18000 views on the one I saw.

It was hard for me to make it to the end of the video. I could not believe what I was seeing.

It must have been exceedingly hard for the policeman to do what they had been told to do. Most of them didn't seem to have their hearts in it.

Minor problem - Notre Dame is not Jesuit. Never has been. It's Fathers of the Holy Cross. Completely different French order.

Notre Dame is run by the Congregation of the Holy Cross, not the Jesuits.

Your small point is incorrect: Notre Dame was founded, and is still led by, Holy Cross fathers (CSC).

It gets complicated.

It is not under direct Church institutional control --- that is, is incorporated separately, and it does not "belong" to a diocese nor even to the Holy Cross order, but is run by its Board of Trustees.

Nevertheless, its designation as a "Catholic" university is ultimately controlled by the Bishop of Ft. Wayne-South Bend, who has the power it rescind its right to call itself Catholic. It is still, at present, listed in the Kenedy Directory, the official directory of Catholic Institutions in the USA.

If I were a police officer assigned to arrest FR Norm.. I would have refused and maybe lost my job.. but I wouldn’t have lost my soul.

Correct. If it was Jesuit you’d have Obama be given a chair in his honor instead of a degree.

Pope Benedict should excommunicate every Catholic, from ND’s President on down to the arresting cops, for this sorry incident on that campus. It’s pathetic!
