Didn’t Notre Dame give him an honorary doctorate?

Since when is Notre Dame a Catholic College.

A very wealthy friend of mine cut off all big donations to ND because they invited the illegal alien pro-death muslim to the college in 2009. They ain’t seen a dime since from him.

For them to show any kind of outrage at this POS’s administration is the height of hypocrisy.

Wow...
Let’s talk about hypocrisy, shall we.

Did they think the Scorpion wouldn’t sting them when they carried it across the river in 2008?

Georgetown can get away with poking Catholicism in the eye. Notre Dame can’t. They still have some real Catholic students there, a few good priests, and a lot of alumni who don’t appreciate things like giving a radical abortionist like Obama an honorary Doctor of Law degree—when he hasn’t even done anything to earn it. Not a single scholarly law article, even though he headed the Harvard Law Review and worked as a law professor (read untenured visiting adjunct with annual contracts) in Chicago.

Fr. Jenkins is hoping to get some creds with his angry alumni. I still say, find a new President, someone who is a real Catholic.

Notre Dame: the same college that invited Obama to speak right after he became President?

Notre Dame: the Catholic school on one side of the country while the CATHOLIC Georgetown is inviting the HHS secretary to speak on the other side of the country?

I can’t even laugh at this anymore. :(:(:(:(:(

Yesterday, in Austin , I attended 0730 Mass and there were several cars with Obama 2012 bumper stickers.

These folks will close their eyes to Catholic teachings on abortion,traditional marriage and government mandates on the Church, just so they can continue collecting their government goodies.

In the same breath ND should renounce The One’s honorary degree. I also wonder if the 90+ faculty members that attacked Biship Jenky’s homily are on-board with this lawsuit.

We should only express delight and encouragement when Father Jenkins locates his backbone and does the right thing.

If you took a snapshot of him 3 years ago, the pic could have accurately been captioned Judas Jenkins. But you know what? He isn't a snapshot. Like every person who ain't dead yet, he's a live-streaming video.

He's clearly being pushed, either by his pro-life alumni, or the "Catholic wing" of his faculty, or his CSC superiors, or his awakening conscience, or the Holy Spirit. Or all of the above. He's long been prayed for by Fr. Norm Weslin, who is, I have no doubt, still praying for him now, as Fr. Norm is sturdily positioned before the throne of the True and Rightful King.

Anyway, Jenkins is still in motion --- and when he does the right thing, he should be cheered by every man of good will.

Yes, the Judas betrayed us. But Simon Bar-Jonah denied the Lord 3 times --- totally wimped out in the face of a gabby servant girl!! --- and Saul tried to kill every Christian he could get his hands on. That was before Simon learned to live up to his name ("Rock") and Saul became Paul.

A man can change. Let's stop snarking and pray hard.

Obama would love this thread.

Jenkins receives the criticism while Obama skates.

Good first step if too long delayed.

Next step should be to place that biatch Sibelius under interdict.

An interesting book to read shedding light on some of Notre Dame's recent problems is    "What Happened To Notre Dame?"  -  By Charles E. Rice, Professor Emeritus of Law at the Notre Dame Law School.

One hopes that more than just the reduction of the inflow of money influenced Father Jenkins own version of "evolving perspective", (like, maybe his conscience?)

Regardless of the recent liberal politics of many Catholics, this should earn Catholics our support and appreciation on this effort. Paraphrasing that other famous/infamous Catholic, JFK, “Ich bin Katholisch” regards the Church’s efforts against 0bama.

I wonder if Barry Soetoro knows that abortion is generally forbidden by Islam after the first 4 months of gestation.

Of course the supreme ruler knows better than all the religions of the world.

Was this the very same school/U that invited the One several years ago and then when IT demanded, they removed the cross from the background or am I getting old and senile and imagining things? - (Don’t you dare answer that one if that’s the case!)
