I hope the Holy Father has a talk with them.

If he does speak at Notre Dame the real Catholic should turn their back when he speaks to them, or not show up at all.

This does leave a bad taste. I hope some people can form a sizable protest there.

Every day B. Hussein, takes us farther into the abyss. I'm amazed at Notre Dame, I'm from Indiana originally, and I could never imagine this happening.

I think of all the aborted souls and I often wonder if, in societies laziness and selfishness, if we haven't aborted the soul or souls to have saved us, lead us righteously.

Such a waste and those attending this graduation should voice their opinion, the time has come to stop being quiet.
