"Fr. Norm" - 80-Year-Old Priest Arrsted, Jailed at Notre Dame
YouTube ^ | May 16, 2009 | Pass the Salt

Posted on 05/16/2009 6:57:23 AM PDT by Mrs. Don-o

Here is the video of Fr. Norm Weslin's arrest by University of Notre Dame police. He was carrying a cross and singing a hymn in honor of the mother of Jesus Christ ---"Our Lady" -- "Notre Dame."

What evil deed did they think he was going to do if they didn't arrest him: launch a devastatng, full-scale Rosary barrage?

Nearly 50 years ago, the sisters who taught us in our school would tell us that someday the communists would try to take over our government, trample on our God-given rights, and put us into jail for expressing our faith. I don’t think any of us kids actually believed that at the time, but it has come true.

We need a good still photo from this video.

It could become one of those photos that wake people from their slumber if it became viral.

Too many people won’t take the time to watch a video.

Ping: One time use of old Mrs Don-o prayer thread list from one year ago when she had her gastric bypass. (She has done very well with that.)

Now, she has been working hard on the Obama honor being bestowed by Notre Dame. Please look at the YouTube video and if you will, help spread it,

Thanks

> I want to define what I support not have other define it for me.

Good answer, well said.

> Technically of course you are correct but I would rather be associated with something I can say I support, in a positive manner.

There does come a time, tho’, when issues become such that they are no longer “disagreements” between gentlemen that can be uplifted or dropped at will. Issues eventually get to the point where a Clash of Wills becomes inevitable, where lines are drawn and sides taken. Shortly thereafter it is War, during which it is not possible to be positive about one’s own side without being negative about the Enemy’s.

Is the issue of Abortion at that point yet? I don’t know: I’d prefer to think that gentlemanly discourse can yet rule the day. And then I saw this harmless Catholic priest at Notre Dame University being man-handled by thugs in uniform, and I am no longer quite so sure...

I’m happy to hear about this, and I am dumbfounded to watch Notre Dame destroy it’s credibility for this dufus.

The next time a peaceful protest is done like this they need to have 100 or more people waiting and ready. As the first is taken away, wait 1 minute and have the next take up the cross. Let them try to handle them all, one by one.

Does anyone know if there is going to be coverage of the protest at noon (est). From my understanding the woman who is the Roe in Roe vs Wade will be coming on campus allowing herself to get arrested.

Yesterday Eternal Vigilance had a web side that covered the protest.

They'd tell you they are liberation theologists first. The Jesuits are not Catholic in my opinion and Notre Dame has not been for a long long time. I canceled my Catholic Herald Citizen subscription probably at least 20 yrs. ago because the carried the ramblings of Fr. McBride( I think that was his name) a pro abort puke from Notre Dame.

Outrageous and disgusting! These officers must feel like real American hero's, arresting a Priest who is 80 years old, protesting to protects the unborn. And having to carry him off on that tarp? They SHOULD BE ashamed of themselves.

Saw a clip of the arrest on Fox. How horrible. Dragging a singing praying old man to jail. Evil walks the Earth. Good fights against the evil. God loves those who stand up for righteousness.

As for the fake POTUS and the speed at which he is changing America:

Revelation 12:12
“Woe to the inhabiters of the earth and of the sea! For the devil is come down unto you, having great wrath because he knoweth that he hath but a short time.”

Actually, credibility as a Catholic institution was lost a long time ago. Today, that fact is manifest to all who have eyes to see.

Seems that one of the mottos of our leadership is, “Tibet here, now”.

Die, I hear you.

I will say that after watch Fr Corpi and Fr Groschel both of them very recently said that we are in THE PERSECUTION.

Not a persecution, but THE persecution.

I am beginning to think they may be right.

This country cannot survive when it sanctions the killing of millions of humans.
