Well, at least we can hope. I know they’ve taken a pretty good hit on the donations already.
You really have to wonder, what was so important about Obama coming to Notre Dame?
I can pretty well guess why it is important for Obama to come to Notre Dame. He wants to point up the disagreement among Catholic “intellectuals” and ala’ carte practicing catholics regarding abortion. Not all Catholics agree with Catholic teaching about the evils of abortion. In order to be effective Catholics are going to have to present a public unity of understanding that abortion is the number one evil in the world today. And one way to begin that process is for the American Bishops to get it together and make a statement that all pro-abortion supporting catholics cannot receive Holy Communion in the Catholic Church. This in effect would excommunicate them all and their pro-abortion opinion would have no impact in the media nor on the public.
