This is the same Notre Dame stupid enough to invite him, right?

Well, then they’re certainly stupid enough to expect him to wear the traditional robes...

And if he is not wearing it at that moment, will he be refused the degree?

"“Lying and cheating in the Arab world is not really a moral matter but a method of safeguarding honor and status, avoiding shame, and at all times exploiting possibilities, for those with the wits for it, deftly and expeditiously to convert shame into honor on their own account and vice versa for their opponents."

How convenient for them.

Hope they aren't too surprised if I respond in kind.

No it is not appropriate and it is not even close. One’s standing in the secular world is irrelevant.

Not if Notre Dame is a truly Catholic University.

Obama is an aggressive abortionist. The pro-life movement is a central pillar of Catholic doctrine. THere is no common ground here.

No, it is not.
IF Hitler had been invited to speak, at a Catholic University, in Europe, the libs and Catholic bashers would be bringing it up, to this day!

Obama is a disgrace, and should not ever step foot on Catholic grounds without strong protest from all Church leaders.

The quintessential(sp) question is : Why is the Vatican silent?

Since Martin Sheen is a Catholic, there isn’t much point in mentioning that he wore the prayer. It is not surprising that President Bush had no qualms about it.

He may not want to but the Muzzie ways allow them to deviated from the Koran when it is in the interest of advancing their schemes..just like the terrorists did for 9/11. So my bet, after the brouhaha about the IHS being removed..he will wear the banner..all for show..watch to see if he crosses his fingers...

Why is the Vatican silent?

The Vatican doesn't run Notre Dame; it's mostly run by a lay board of trustees which is heavily populated by Chicago fat cats. "Chicago fat cats" are pals with the Daley machine; the Daley machine produced Obama ... you get the picture.

The only thing the Vatican could really do -- aside from a verbal rebuke, which would be ignored -- is act together with the local bishop to take away Notre Dame's right to call itself a Catholic university.

They have chosen not to do that.

So far.
