Oh, by the way, "Interdict" means that no Sacraments, no Mass, no nothing can be celebrated at ND. It becomes sacramental "dead space."

ND actually has a large and active Catholic community, and about 130 Masses every week on campus. Interdict would be a severe mercy. It would be medicinal. It would be tough love. It would be not directed toward any individual, but toward Notre Dame itself as an institution under discipline.

It is a very solemn thing.

And it would blow the place sky high.

I’m not for punishing INNOCENT people because of a BAD PRIEST.

I understand the Cardinal Newman Society site is getting 270+ signatures PER MINUTE on their petition. Their wonderful president, Patrick Reilly, has flown to Rome and is flagging down everybody with a red hat.

Randy Terry's opening an office in South Bend.

And Joe Scheidler/Prolife Action League is on it like a duck on a junebug. Quote from his site:

"If Notre Dame does not disinvite Obama, Scheidler says, the Notre Dame campus can expect a massive pro-life protest on graduation day, including the use of large, graphic abortion pictures that show exactly what Barack Obama supports."

Looks like a high percentage of active ingredients.
