Interested in what you'd think of this idea.

And could I address a letter to each of these priests (snail-mail) just using the general mailing address for the University of Notre Dame? Or where could I find their addresses?

Anybody?

I think Terry’s methods will backfire. He may have been a good tactician in the big Operation Rescue sit-downs, but he embarrassed himself and undermined Archbishop Burke’s valiant efforts from Rome when he (Terry), apparently without permission from the archbishop, posted an interview with Burke on YouTube. He seems to have little sense of the protocols of Catholicism. Converts (and I am one of them) need to take a few years to learn the unspoken principles and procedures before trying to be high-profile activists within their new home. That would be just as true if one converted from Catholicism to Pentecostalism or Mormonism or Judaism or scientism or whatever. If one wishes to be an effective member of one’s new group, one needs to study how it lives and breathes and work within it.

Terry will actually draw the focus away from Obama’s vicious adherence to the Culture of Death and toward himself. I wish he’d stay out of it. Plenty of others with plenty of pro-life street cred were already planning their tactics. If Terry had an ounce of humility and prudence, he’d quietly join them, disappear into their ranks and help them. But Terry has to be the leading light. This is not the first time he’s done that. It’s a pattern for him and suggests some character weaknesses.
