“ask?”

We DEMAND that they rescind the invitation AND the "honorary degree!"...
Bottom line...Hussein will not be speaking at ND on commencement day...bank on it!

[mlizzy]

If there are any announcements/telephone numbers/e-mail adresses/ to be shown, etc. in this regard, please contact The P.O.P.E. Project. What a tragedy this all is ... but there are reasons for everything ... I'm making plans to go to ND on May 17th to protest!!! (and, um pray too!)

Just unplug the teleprompter...that will cancel the speech.

[Right Cal Gal]

I see a lot of alumni checkbooks staying closed.

Notre Dame is “shake down the thunder from the sky” country, and putting Obama inside ND stadium is the best place on earth to show him light.

Notre Dame and infanticide .... who would have believed it? Its heartbreaking.

[The Sons of Liberty]

Notre Dame has a rare opportunity, not only to strike a blow for the unborn, but also to strike a blow for freedom, by rescinding the invitation to the ursurper. This will be an embarrassment to the kenyan baby killer that cannot be easily explained away.

I, for one, would not want to stand in from of St. PETER and try to explain why I supported someone like 0bama, who not only supports, but advocates, killing of the most innocent!

Kinda like inviting a Nazi to speak at the synagogue...

I thought that Bishop D’Arcy of South Bend was supposed to be issuing a statement yesterday, but there’s still nothing on the Diocese’s website. What gives? He should be taking a lead on this.

Wow! This will be a national slap in Obama’s face. ND had better watch out from this time on. What is with this Fr. Jenkins to even contemplate this stupid move? The guy probably belongs to the 54% Catholics who voted for Obama.

[Flintlock]

Whazzamatter?
Hopeychangeguy gets a pass. For Everything.
The rules don’t apply anymore.
Did I mention he’s black? And for Hope? Change, too?

[TimF]

Just thinking out loud...

Parking at Notre Dame is horrendous. What if a bunch of protesters got there early, taking up the closest parking places, holding signs...

Here's an interesting prophetic post on the whole shebang:

Barack at Notre Dame? Our Lady Strikes Back!

[GOP Poet]

also AND the "honorary degree!"...

They have GOT to be kidding! Lord help us. The Kool-aid has seeped deep, deep into the final cavities of the brain with these O-Baa-M-UH cultists.

[Redbob]

Does anyone really expect the Catholic church to show any backbone here?

[Oldexpat]

Some big donors need to remind them where the money comes from.

Its not St. Peter you should be concerned about. Its Jesus Christ that you would be standing before.

[Guenevere]

Just so!

As our fellow Free Republic member Tom has so prophetically and poetically written (from this link you provided):

"Anyone who has read the works of Fr. McBrien, and several
other professors, knows that there is a threat to (Notre Dame's)
Catholicism from within as well. But unlike Harvard or Yale,
Northwestern or Southern Cal, all former Christian universities that are
now secular schools, Notre Dame has the weapon to fight all heresies,
namely Notre Dame Herself ... for the modern infidels to take control
here, they would have to blow the Dame off the Dome, rip the heart (the Eucharist)
out of Sacred Heart (Church) and lastly, rock by rock, tear the
Grotto apart. And legions of Her sons and daughters would willingly
die martyrs before they would allow that to happen."
