Our Lady is weeping.
I’m not a ND alum...I was poised to go there until my Dad told me it gets very, very cold there. As a child of the Sun I couldn’t go through with it!! But I am a Catholic and I am outraged....this is what I am writing in email and mailing on Monday to anyone I can find associated with Notre Dame:
Dear Sir or Madam:
Notre Dame is named for the Mother of God, a blessed woman who chose life and brought forth the Savior of the world.
Your decision to host at Commencement Barack Obama, a man who not only voted for, but strenuously advocated for a law which would prohibit saving the life of a viable aborted child, and in fact taking measures to hasten his or her death; a man who advocates the cloning of human beings for research purposes; a man who wishes to spread the culture of death and destruction worldwide through the use of taxpayer dollars; a man who has voiced his full support for unrestricted infanticide up until the moment of natural birth, is more than outrageous.
Words fail.
If you are unable to strip this person of your ill-conceived invitation, you need to consider stripping Our Lady’s name from your masthead, for She is surely weeping in Heaven tonight.
Respectfully, Gator Girl (obviously I will use my “real” name here!!)
