“It is disappointing that he hasn’t made any comment regarding the Notre Dame scandal.”
Just disappointing? Is that all? How about freaking MISERABLE.
Nevermind the president of the United States who stands in steadfast opposition to the right to life should get a CATHOLIC platform in INDIANA. Oh, but Steele is a fence-straddler working to re-elect largely pro-life candidates.
One more question for the enlightened: If Steele is pro-abortion why is he speaking at a pro-life banquet?
This is a weird story. The bishop talked to Steele on the phone, and still won’t attend. I wonder what was said, and if Steele or the bishop will comment further.
And the bishop whose diocese contains Notre Dame won’t be attending the graduation ceremony, just like here.

I wouldn't go that far, but I won't criticize those who do.

I don't know that Mr. Steele IS pro-abortion. But if he is, he would want to speak at a pro-life banquet for the same reason that many pro-abortion politicians want to be viewed as pro-life, even while they promote abortion.
That's a trend I've noticed - pro-deathers who pretend to be pro-life. Like Sen. Casey, who claims to be a pro-life Democrat, but who has a 65% voting record with NARAL. I know politicians here in Maryland who are Catholic and are Democrat and want to be known as pro-life even as they refuse to lift a finger to protect unborn children.
I remember during the last campaign, during the primaries, folks were trying to convince me that Mr. Giuliani wasn't really pro-abortion, he was really pro-life. Even though he'd been adamantly opposed to a ban even of partial birth abortion.
Lots of politicians realize that there's hay to make in talking out of both sides of their mouths. Mr. Steele would hardly be the first.
