pathetic on the part of ND. Lining up to get the radically pro-abort President is pretty bad.
There is life out there! Good.
I got an email from J.D. Hayworth (KFYI) advising that BO is going to be speaking to the brainwashed pinheads at Arizona State “University” also.
I just hope that the ND administration is more willing to listen to their constituents than the Obama administration and his congress are willing to listen to the people of this country. However, I expect they may not have the integrity and personal strength to un-invite a sitting president.
I hope that who ever is responsible for Obama’s invitation will resign or be fired! He’s disgusting and a murderer. He has nothing in common with pro-life people.
When the rich Alums stop their donations..they will see the light.
Can they disinvite him?
Note to skulls full of mush! You don’t actually have to attend the ceremony to GRADUATE! Boycott it! They’ll mail you your sheepskin!
I am sending a red empty envelope to ND president Father Jenkins. We are in bizzaro world.
He earned his master of divinity degree and licentiate in sacred theology from the Jesuit School of Theology at Berkeley in 1988

NOTRE DAME, Indiana, April 6, 2006 (LifeSiteNews.com) –
The University of Notre Dame will continue to allow the controversial play “The Vagina Monologues” to be performed on campus, despite the plays’ explicit sexuality, obscenity and anti-Catholic content. The script contains graphic accounts of female sexual encounters, one involving the seduction of a young teenage girl by an older woman.
Holy Cross Father John I. Jenkins, university president, spoke against the play in January, saying it was antithetical to the Catholic identity of Notre Dame, and that repeat performances on campus would suggest that the university endorsed the content and message of the play.
But in a statement yesterday Fr. Jenkins granted permission for the play to continue on the grounds of academic freedom, saying, “the creative contextualization of a play like ‘The Vagina Monologues’ can bring certain perspectives on important issues into a constructive and fruitful dialogue with the Catholic tradition.”
Only at Notre Dame.
This wouldn’t happen at Marquette Univ! :-)
"We are not ignoring the critical issue of the protection of life. On the contrary, we invited him because we care so much about those issues, and we hope . . . for this to be the basis of an engagement with him," Jenkins said. "You cannot change the world if you shun the people you want to persuade, and if you cannot persuade them . . . show respect for them and listen to them," he said.I told them if they really want to engage the issues they should debate rather than honor him with a degree.
