My favorite Catholic philosopher tears into Notre Dame...

[Professor_Leonide]

Sure, a Mass dedicated to the Holy Spirit chaning BHO’s stance on abortion is certainly worthwhile. Pray to end abortion and pray for the conversion of the abortion celebrators!

[Ann Archy]

It;s Fr. JENKINS that is an APOSTATE by inviting Obama....not the ENTIRE campus!

[vladimir998]

And he’s FROM Notre Dame!!!

[BuffaloJack]

> Is Obama Worth a Mass?
A mass of what? Bull&*#t?
No even. He ain’t even worth snail slime.

[PhatHead]

Certainly. Dr. McInerny is a distinguished member of Notre Dame’s faculty himself. But this invitation is an official act by the university which rejects Catholicism in a most fundamental way. It would be nice if a sizable number of this year’s graduates - and their families - were to mount a meaningful protest, such as a boycott of the ceremony. What a powerful statement it would be for Obama to address an empty campus; for the student body to prove more faithful than the university administration (a pretty low bar, it would seem.)

[PhatHead]

Yes, and clearly not consulted on the decision to invite Obama!

[Ann Archy]

A boycott of the ceremony is NOT enough.....cards, letters....WITHHOLDING MONEY is more powerful....that and PRAYING!

[Ukiapah Heep]

My hearing must be going. I thought the question was "Is Obama an a**?"

[Ann Archy]

ping.

[Red_Devil 232]

Yup! He is lower than snail slime!

Christianity is not his Religion ... Do Not Waste Time On Him!

[Joe 6-pack]

I don’t know about a mass, but a good ole fashioned exorcism just might be in order...

"Is Obama Worth a Mass?"

When I first read that I thought, yea, a good case for a mass of whoop ass.

[Salvation]

I don’t think the Bishop is going to permit this. Statement out soon.

Meanwhile FReep these links, everyone.

Yes, if it’s a ganglian mass...

[mckenzie7]

I will pray that that will happen. A BOYCOTT!

[nmh]

Obama is Satan in human form.

Don’t waste a mass on Satan in human form.

[mckenzie7]

I will pray that that will happen. A BOYCOTT!

[grey_whiskers]

I think he's oo much of a lightweight to have much mass *at all*...

Come to think of it, you know you suck when you have to put "Plugs" Biden on your ticket to provide gravitas.

Cheers!

The reference is to Henri of Navarre, who turned Catholic in order to get Paris on board so he could be Henri IV. He reportedly observed that "Paris is worth a Mass."

He later was assassinated by a loony extremist (a Catholic one, I think), so it didn't do him much good.
