"Send that suggestion to Mary Ann Glendon and the other signers of that statement. Let’s see if they can force the rest of the faculty to put up or shut up."

Thanks for doing that. Mary Ann Glendon, one of the signers, distinguished herself with an act of great nobility two years ago: Mary Ann Glendon, the former United States ambassador to the Vatican who was set to receive the University of Notre Dame’s Laetare Medal at the school’s commencement on May 17, has written to University president Fr. John Jenkins saying that she will not attend the ceremony or accept the award after all. Glendon says her refusal stems from the University’s persistence in choosing to honor Obama with an honorary degree, despite U.S. Bishops Conference policy that forbids honoring pro-abortion politicians.
