That’s because they won’t do the right thing. They will do the popular thing. Evidently they want to be the next Georgetown.

The list grows.
Still waiting for a name listing with “CA” after it.
Notre Dame can go to h*ll.
The Catholics who support this “sports franchise” probably voted for Obama. It is obvious the “university” is pro-abortion.
Maybe when the alumni shows them the money ...or where the money used to be.
Where is Cardinal Mahoney?
Has anybody heard from Cardinal O’Mally of Massachusetts who is the bishop of Senator Kerry and Kennedy? Why Is he afraid to speak up against these 2 abortion Senators?

Nearly a quarter of a million have signed to date, keep piling on..
This whole issue is absolutely mind boggling. A Catholic University that is honoring a man who has an unwaivering support of killing unborn children.
With all due respect to those who love life more than death I hesitate to make a generalization. BUT, how many students/alumni are there at Notre Dame that love life more than death? 1? 100? 1000? Are they just sitting there and going to let this happen without a fight? Are they a bunch of cowards who cannot stand up for the unborn children of America and the world?
How about the Pope? Is he going to allow Notre Dame to just flip off the Catholic church by honoring Obama with a law degree? Someone in Catholic leadership needs to get his response to this! What does he say?
Obama has decided that unborn life is not life to be protected under our constitution! What lawyer is deserving of honor who places his own finger on the scales of justice to favor death over life?
Notre Dame, this is your time! Choose this day who you will serve! There is no debate here. By “honoring” Obama you may as well erect a golden calf in the halls of your institution! Because you are worshiping a man (by honoring him) over worshiping the Living God.
I want to know - where is Bishop Wuerl on this?
(Doubtless the pro-life stalwarts are like FReepers -- one FReeper is worth 100 leftists at public demonstrations...)
If you openly defy your local Bishop, why would the opinions of other Bishop's matter more?
I am surprised that Bishop Serratelli is not on this list.
Perhaps ND has not changed its position on honoring Obama because we still have not heard from about 90% of the Bishops.I think we will have to conclude that most of the Bishops are too cowardly or are just on the other side on pro-life issues.
OK, so 25 bishops out of 195 is a little more than 12.5%. That’s nothing to sneeze at, in a Church organization characterized by hierarchy and obedience. Praise the Holy Spirit at work!
I think a more basic question is being missed here.
The VAST majority of the students here are completing SIXTEEN years of Catholic education, yet they still favor a murderous abortionist president addressing them as their exclamation point to this Catholic education process.
So the question is, where and why has the Church FAILED so miserably in educating these long tenured students of the Catholic education system? These graduates may be great engineers and scientists and what not, but Stewards of the Faith they most certainly are NOT!
The continued silence of US Bishops while so called Catholic elected officials thumb their noses at the basic tenets of the Faith (but still fill the collection plate) is absolutely deafening. Their tacit approval of this public disobedience to the Church can only produce the product we will see at the graduation at ND.
Perhaps the president of Notre Dame needs a call from Rome.
My favorite comment from a bishop...change the name..PERFECT!...
“I would ask that you rescind this unfortunate decision and so avoid dishonoring the practicing Catholics of the United States, including those of this Diocese. Failing that, please have the decency to change the name of the University to something like, ‘The Fighting Irish College’ or ‘Northwestern Indiana Humanist University.’”
