TESTING THE FAITH

________________________________________________________ The Obama White House "wanted a simple backdrop of flags and pipe and drapes for the speech," while conversely, Laura Bush understood that the Name of God/Christ is synonymous with the name America and the flag of same – she did not presume to place herself above God nor deny Him.

Which brings me to the University of Notre Dame. What statement for God does that university make when it invites the pro-abortion equivalent of a death camp promoter to speak at a Catholic school whose doctrine vehemently opposes the slaughter of unborn children? It is appalling that a school founded on God and inscribed with the doctrine of honoring Him would so easily capitulate to evil simply because it occupies an oval room.

If the staff and graduates of Notre Dame were truly interested in honoring God, they would boycott the graduation. They would let the pro-abortion front man speak to an empty arena. They would honor God by their absence.

The colossus institutions that are Notre Dame and Georgetown were founded to be bastions of honor to God, yet today they place the very personification of Erebus above Him. It took a simple act of godly courage by a young woman standing on a national stage to do what they should have done, i.e., honor God the Father, and immeasurably encourage others.

Which do you think pleases God more – capitulating to a man who embodies that which God abhors, or a young girl who trusts God and refuses to compromise for an earthly reward?

Notre Dame (the school) is dead to me until they retreat their invitation, apologize to fellow Catholics, alumni, and students.

The alumni has the power. If they withhold financial support and apply enough pressure, the University will be forced to do the right thing. It is up to the Alumni to save their University.

I am amused that the University thought bringing the POTUS to speak might provide them with an opportunity for him to listen to their views.

Quote "We think having the president come to Notre Dame, see our graduates, meet our leaders, and hear a talk from Mary Ann Glendon is a good thing for the president and for the causes we care about." end quote (Mary Ann Glendon citing John I. Jenkins)

If the ceremony ensues, graduates and audience might take a proactive method of voicing their complaint.

(1) Hundreds of people in the seats might suddenly need to use the facilities.

(2) Graduates might find the sound system painful to their hearing and resort to inserting hearing protection, muffling the sound.

(3) I expect many ND grads to be typical of the youth movement (in love with BHO), but if they indeed have taken a moral and ethical position they need to find a way to voice their opposition to giving this man the platform to spew his garbage.
