President Trump May Not Get an Invite to Notre Dame Graduation
Sojourners ^ | 12/06/2016 | David Gibson

If President Obama’s appearance at the Notre Dame commencement in 2009 sparked an unprecedented uproar among American Catholics, imagine what inviting President Trump to graduation might provoke That concern is making Notre Dame’s president, the Rev. John Jenkins, think twice about making a pitch for the incoming U.S. president to receive an honorary degree...spoke to the student newspaper December 2, 2016.

From the comments section by otrotierra • a day ago: It is not surprising that Notre Dame wants nothing to do with xenophobia, bigotry, racism, sexism, incitement of political violence, compulsive lies, and predatory behavior.

I’m sure President Trump is heartbroken over this, just as Melania is devastated that Michelle Obama’s fashion designer is refusing to work with her.

Why would he want to go? Who wants to go to a graduation unless it’s for their own child? (Even then, you don’t “want” to go, you just have to.)

Why?

Because he would demand they drape covers over the crucifix?

Oh wait. That was Obama.

Well at least they wouldn’t have to cover up any Christian religious symbols if 0bama would have shown.

It is incomprehensible to compare president Trump with Obama. What is ND thinking of?

Good...then he won't have to bother turning it down. Notre Shame is a blight on the land. That damned place is responsible for more heresy than anywhere else in the country. It's not a Catholic or a Christian university.

Good. Perhaps now we can conclude the miserable experiment in handing out participation trophies in place of merit awards.

Øbongo will go to his grave oblivious to his reputation as a fraud and a phony because of the “awards” he accepted but did not earn.

So what/ ND is a nest of offensive little minded mutts masquerading as a Catholic school. They brag that “55% of our faculty is Catholic!’ Really wow now who would believe a ‘Catholic’ school would have 45% non Catholics - wonder of wonders. They make me sick. Jenkins is a Democrat stooge.

They should stop using “Fighting Irish” as a member of the same family as Michael O’Coileain it offends me.

Is Notre Dame even relevant anymore. . .are any of the so called major universities relevant. I vote for common sense education that features God at the Head of the class and also includes home ec, ag, basic math, English First and patriotism as headliners in the public schools. . .even for universities. There is an over abundance of students who, after being taught under socialist conditions, have lost their ability to reason at the age of 18.

This proves that Notre Dame has joined the ranks of the CINO (Catholic in Name Only) colleges and universities at this point - Trump’s pro life platform ought to cause Notre Dame’s administration to welcome Trump with open arms.

Trump’s campaign manager Kelly Ann Conway is a practicing pro life Catholic and the fact that Trump hired her is proof that Trump’s actions are backing up his positions.

Oh well, it is Notre Dame’s loss - and a sad commentary on Catholic higher ed in this country, with a very few exceptions.

Unlike Cuomo, Obama, and so many others, Trump is not fit to speak at Notre Dame. He hasn’t killed even one million babies, let alone sixty million.
