I can’t believe that Notre Dame is having President Obama as their speaker...What on Earth??? I know a friend of mine who is graduating there this year...I will ask him what he thinks...lol. He predicted that John McCain would get the nomination way before others were thinking that...yes we are still friends...lol.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Man your battle stations: Here's were you can go to fightt his thing. OBAMA WILL NOT SPEAK AT NOTRE DAME if we do our jobs.

To protest (and surely, to prevent) this travesty, go HERE, and HERE.

We're already on the march. Our excellent ally, the Cardinal Newman Society, has already launched a well-organized campaign to stop this rubbish from ever happening. HERE ARE YOUR MARCHING ORDERS. Get on task, my friends.

[Mrs. Don-o]

See the above.

[don-o]

Very good - if a bit long. imo, about half the length would have greater impact in this click fast and move on world :). Or maybe that’s just me.

A defining moment looms before the AmChurch and the Bishops.

[EternalVigilance]

I’m getting your links around everywhere I can. Thanks.

[don-o]

I see you are on task w/o pinging from me! Carry on!

[EternalVigilance]

Yes it does.

Someone has to get to the alum donor’s. Get the list. Get them where it hurts. They are Catholic. Against Abortion. This will hurt them if they hear from the money crowd.

The rot at Notre Dame has been progressing for years. It will be interesting to see what the Catholic bishops will do--I'd keep my eye on Bishop D'Arcy, who is a relatively good bishop. Also, this could turn into a real show-down between the admin and the bishops. The bishops have spoken more concertedly than ever in recent months about the evils of abortion. I'll be curious to know what pressure they'll put on ND.

I must say, I'm not optimistic. Zero will probably speak there. There are many, many Pelosi-style Catholics out there, and they have a lot of power at ND. We need supernatural intervention. Our Lady, pray for us!!

[livius]

Alan Keyes is absolutely right. I have already written to Bishop D’Arcy. I don’t know to what extent the bishop can control a university run by a religious order in his diocese, but I believe that a bishop can refuse to let a religious order operate in his diocese. At least, that’s the rationale used by our bishop for refusing conservative religious orders in his diocese.

Notre Dame always invites whoever is President at that time to give the address. However, never has there been a president who is so anti-life. This should not be happening.

[Cicero]

Keyes is absolutely right on this. As a Catholic, I can’t disagree with a word he says.

[Mrs. Don-o]

Here's a letter I just e-mailed to the President of Notre Dame and the other Big Bugs: --- oh, and Brother K, can you call out the Armies of the Orthodox?

To: president@nd.edu, pmccartan@jonesday.com, mfox@archchicago.org, catholiceducation@usccb.org, ndalumni@nd.edu

Brothers in Christ:

You are not among those who are unlettered, oblivious and unaware.

You know that Barack Obama voted three times --- once on the floor of the Illinois legislature, and twice in committee ----to deny medical assistance and even compassionate palliative care to living, struggling infants unfortunate enough to be born subsequent to an attempted abortion.

You know that Obama's HHS has just rescinded federal regulatory protection of conscience rights for individual and institutional healthcare providers.

You know that Barack Obama is by far the most radical advocate of abortion AND infanticide ever elected to political office in the USA --- both actions condemned by the Second Vatican Council as "abominable crimes."

And this infamous man has now been invited to receive an Honorary Degree in Law from Notre Dame University?

Holy Mother of God!

In a statement adopted in 2004, the USCCB declared, "The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles."

"They should not be given rewards, honors, or platforms."

You would be utter fools to honor Barack Obama merely because he is is President of the United States, he is "historic," he is stylish and powerful, he is one of the great ones of the earth.

You are offending One far greater than he.

Sincerely,

[signed]

P.S. If you well and truly lack the testicular fortitude to do the right thing --- which would be to make a public statement rescinding Barack Obama's invitation due to the fact that he is morally unfit to be given a platform or to receive honors from any Catholic institution --- then you can at least work behind the scenes to "remind" Obama that he "unfortunately has a scheduling conflict" which will "unfortunately" make it impossible for him to attend.

And don't accept Vice President Biden as a substitute, a --- compared to Obama ---trifling, merely "moderately" murder-authorizing Catholic who has already justly been denied platforms, honors, and reception of Holy Communion by the Bishop of Scranton.

The priests there are subject to his discipline, IIRC, as far as their rights and responsibilities; I think they can only offer Mass with his approval.

[EternalVigilance]

Perfect.

[Salvation]

Get Obama canceled. Contacts from another thread!

Good piece.
