I would not alow Hussein Obamna to speak, unless he presented his BIRTH CERTIFICATE! At least HE had the chance to be born, unlike the victims of Abortionism!
Too bad courage isn’t catching! Thank you Bishop.
choosing “Prestige Over Truth” is the new Motto of Notre Fame.
Simple question:
Is there a Catholic with final say on matters at Notre Dame?
Bishop D’Arcy - take this up another level. You have the authority to deny Obama the right to speak at ND.
All it takes is one or two people to start it.
And please someone video it and dump it all over the web.
It’s just like that scene in “Rudy” where the kid ran home instead of playing in the game...
Well sh*t Bishop, neither will I but is that really enough?
This is not just about Obama. It's about America's most high profile Catholic university and what it can and can't get away with. It's about giving scandal to the faithful. Your non attendance clearly indicates that you disapprove of Obama's invitation and honorary degree but a "count me out" attitude doesn't cut it when you have responsibility for the diocese. Saying "you guys go ahead without me" is weak. OK fair enough, if Jenkins had any decency he'd take your non attendance to heart and disinvite Obama but some guys just don't get it unless you get in their faces.
I guess when it comes to fighting abortion, some bishops aren't quite there yet.
Every U.S. and Canadian Bishop ought to denounce this specifically and in unambiguous terms.
For every Catholic Priest this is a teachable moment in their next homily/sermon.
Every Bishop that has authority over a university in their diocese should forbid such an invite.
I love “Priests for Life”, but it is a shame that such an organization is necessary.
RIGHT ON!
^5 Bishop John M. D’Arcy !!!!!!
How about Notre Dame give its honors to the 50 million innocent babies who have died in the War on the Unborn over the past 35 years?
I agree with the boycott against ND. No contributions from anyone.
And God forbid that any good Catholic family should send their kids there to be educated!
Does ND come under any Diocese?
Gee, I wonder what travesty of Faith Obama will perpetrate on Easter Sunday?
How beautiful he closes with a reminder of The Annunciation.
"Even as I continue to ponder in prayer these events, which many have found shocking, so must Notre Dame. Indeed, as a Catholic University, Notre Dame must ask itself, if by this decision it has chosen prestige over truth. "
There a couple possibilities on ND's president inviting Obama. Assuming a head injury or stroke has not caused brain damage. Either he is a closet case or President Jenkins is so caught up in Obamamania, so mesmerized by the fake messiah, that it has clouded his judgment and impaired his reason and moral faculties.
Obamma lamma ding dong is a taxer to the max.
If the Catholic Church denies the chosen magic negro he may turn around and decide the Church needs to be taxed to death also like he’s trying to do the every other aspect of life in America.
