I don't equate Barak Obama with Adolph Hitler, but I do think the abortion culture we have arrived at in this country has many parallels to the Holocaust. Or to slavery. Using the author's own logic I wonder: If Notre Dame had invited Hitler to Speak on campus in 1939, and if it had awaded him an honerary degree, but a minority of its students went right on volunteering, and going to mass, and lighting candles in the grotto, would it still have the right to call itself a Catholic School? Does Ted Kennedy have the right to call himself a Catholic?

He does make Catholics who support him less Catholic.

“Fr” Jenkins has made Notre Dame less Catholic. Obama is just the tool he did it with.

I glanced over the above, did I miss the part where he defended the school’s decision to honor Barack Obama, abortion advocate, with a degree?
He makes the claim that “Obama doesn’t make Notre Dame LESS Catholic”. Maybe they aren’t Catholic at all. That would make sense.

But that statue of Mary on top of the Dome isn't coming down anytime soon...Does Las Vegas have odds on that? I'm not too convinced myself.

Yes, I noticed that. He undercut his own argument.
They said Notre Dame has "actively undermined Catholic teaching" since the early 1960s. The Obama invite is just the straw that broke the camel's back.
It isn't about the man, it is about the agenda. Despite what the media tries to say.

I want to see the odds on HOW it comes down. Is it removed by the faculty? Do students storm the tower and tear it down? Or is it hit by an unexplained tornado?

"Obama Doesn't Make Notre Dame Less Catholic..." No, the Liberal administration at Notre Dame makes them less Catholic. In fact, it makes them not Catholic at all since they regularly flaunt some of the most basic doctrines of the Catholic Church. The Obama invitation is simply a symptom of the rot that is pervasive throughout the Catholic Diocese and Fellowship. This from a very nonreligious observer.

Notre Dame is not Catholic has not been for a very long time.
Obama might as well bring Rev. Wright along to do his 'special prayer' for the graduates...

And it was a lot less Catholic 20 years ago than it was 40 years ago. :-(

"But that statue of Mary on top of the Dome isn't coming down anytime soon, and long after Obama has spoken, Notre Dame will still continue to be "a powerful force for good." Catholic is as Catholic does. The actions of protesting Catholics and the likes of the American Life League are not making Notre Dame less Catholic. That is being done by none other than Notre Dame and Fr. Jenkins.

What are the odds on it coming to “life”, walking down on its own, putting Zero over its knee and delivering the good solid spanking he so desperately deserves?

Calling on a bishop to remove the Catholic status of Notre Dame -- a school where every year, on average, 200 graduates spend time after graduation doing service, where dorm masses are as popular as dorm dances, where the Grotto is nearly always lit with candles, where students spend their spring breaks volunteering -- that's insulting to me and to all the people who come to Notre Dame, not only to learn but to develop and live out their faith. That's something that doesn't change with the choice of a Commencement speaker.For a "Catholic University" to endorse a person (give him an honorary degree) who is at direct odds with the Catholic Church is putting souls at risk.
The American Life League and other groups who don't want Obama to speak here should keep protesting, as it is certainly their right and they have valid points, but don't tell us we're not being Catholic enough.
You are not practicing your faith by not speaking out sir.
We've heard it before and I'm sure we'll hear it again. But that statue of Mary on top of the Dome isn't coming down anytime soon, and long after Obama has spoken, Notre Dame will still continue to be "a powerful force for good."
How can you be sure that The Virgin wont be covered with a cloth or some other device like at Georgetown?

“I don’t equate Barak Obama with Adolph Hitler”............not yet......Hitler presided over the extermination of 6 million Jews.......Obama has assumed the mantel as POTUS doing everything in his power to advance abortion even pushing partial birth abortions (over 40 million abortions)Hitler had his brown shirts to watch his back and Obama has ACORN to intimidate and fix elections. Hitler nationalized the banks and other businesses just as Obama is doing now.
