This is true but the UND is still the accepted icon of Catholic higher education in America and Obama being lauded there gives PR points for the Left and PR demerits for Christian Conservatism in the USA.

Realpolitics that causes a severe loss for RealAmerica—as the Obamunists have planned all along.

If BHO was a man of principle he would never darken the doors of an institution he hates.

But he is not—he is of the “will to power” ilk so clearly described in “Mein Kampf.”

[kellynla]

Then I suggest you express yourself a little clearer and factually! Don't come on Catholic threads slamming the Catholic Church, Catholics & Catholicism with a lot of inaccuracies!

Obama: The new Messiah foisted upon the world by the secular church.

IMHO

[Happy Rain]

OK,there is more than a peep.

But nothing compared to the aggressive umbrage Catholics have shown throughout history when their faith was being assaulted.

As it is being now.

It ain't over ‘til the fat lady sings...
and don't be surprised if Hussein announces at the last minute “ I will not be able to appear”...

BTW, what is your religious affiliation?

[IM2MAD]

Ban teleprompters and he probably won’t appear.

UND honoring BHO and I call Catholics to task for allowing it to happen?

Where are the inaccuracies much less any undeserved recriminations laced with satirical insults?

If BHO was to be knighted by my King I would do my utmost to prevent it and accept any derision as justified if I didn't..

I am a deist of the Jeffersonian sect and,like him,a firm believer that even though I’m no true Christian I know the Christian faith is the only pragmatic and the most efficasious salvation for the wicked world.

The divinity of Jesus matters little to me,I just know His way is THE way.

Being a conservative means to totally accept the doctrine of “what works,” and Christianity still owns the market on that concept.

With boo-coo thanks to the Catholics for starting it all.

[kellynla]

“Where are the inaccuracies?”

For starters...

“With boo-coo thanks to the Catholics for starting it all?”

Jesus Christ “started it all.”

You may not wanna admit it, but the Catholic Church was founded by God almighty...I hope you & ol’ Tommy Jefferson aren’t offended. LOL

[kellynla]

“Where are the inaccuracies?”

your own admittance:

“OK,there is more than a peep”

“I just don’t see too many Christians of other denominations willing to sully their sacred institutions by honoring an evil abomination like Obama?”

I don’t see too many Christians of other denominatios willing to do ANYTHING! They go to church, live their lives and many even volunteer but lets not compare the Minors with the MAJORS for TWO THOUSAND YEARS! LMAO

[Tribune7]

It doesn’t sound like Obamamania from the article.

[kellynla]

“Where is the Pope?”

In Rome...last I checked. And you can see & hear him on EWTN LIVE & in living color celebrating Palm Sunday Mass from...ROME! 8PM ET

“He has the power.... why does he not use it?”

As I have previously posted, “it ain't over til the fat lady sings.”

“why is ted kennedy still allowed to be Catholic?”
You do know the difference in a CINO and a practicing Catholic...

[Happy Rain]

You win.

But only because of your Christian passion—which I truly admire—salt of the earth and all that,you know.

Notre Dame appears to value cultural approval more than the teachings of the Catholic Church.

Apparently so. Sounds like the alumni endowments may be slowing down. Maybe some liberal group will take up the slack. I don't think ND would have made this move without first considering how it would affect endowments. Who could the new benefactors be??

[kellynla]

“I don't think ND would have made this move without first considering how it would affect endowments.”

Fr. Jenkins just screwed up...
he was more impressed with having the first Black POTUS speak at the commencement than the reality of what the first Black POUTS might stand for & have to say.

I don't expect to see & hear Hussein at the ND commencement.

[uncitizen]

Maybe you’re right and it’s just as simple as that. One would think that he’d run this by the board and that some one person on the board at least would say “well now let’s think about this for a minute here.”

[kellynla]

I wasn't trying to “win”...I just don't appreciate folks coming on Catholic threads criticizing the Catholic Church, Catholicism and what we Catholics are trying to accomplish...granted Catholics & the Catholic Church have made mistakes over the past 2000 years, starting with St. Peter and an issue with an ear but NO ONE and I mean NO ONE can say that Catholics haven't been on the “front lines” fighting for freedom, life, liberty and religion around the world since the time of Christ.

Maybe you’re right and it’s just as simple as that. One would think that he’d run this by the board and that some one person on the board at least would say “well now let’s think about this for a minute here.”

YOU may be right! And I don't know who had the final say if not Fr. Jenkins BUT I still think the decision was based more on "celebrity" than "common sense & Catholicism" and what it would mean to allow a pro-abortionist to speak at commencemnt! Whatever the case, it is an OUTRAGE!
