"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?

The counter either isn’t working or doesn’t count hits by Fire Fox users.

I’ve played it and gone back three times now and it still shows 1,734.

Be aware that lots of the roads are going to be shut down because of security issues. Make sure you have a map of South Bend to find alternative routes.

McBrien supposedly will be on FOX News Sunday with Fr. Frank Pavone (debating this). Chris Wallace moderating.

Imho, the powers that be at Notre Dame are playing into God’s hand. So many Americans just have no clue who Obama is. The protests now and tomorrow are opening eyes, guaranteed. When God makes His move, which He will in His time, so many more people will understand why it happened than if Obama had never been invited to speak at this university. Or at least, that is the way I see it. Since God has never been thwarted or mocked yet, I see no reason to think this will be an exception.

Bernard, Jesuit's are members of the Roman Catholic church. Notre Dame is a Catholic institution. Attended by the most part by Catholic's. Notre Dame receives funding from Catholic foundations.

From their website;

This statement speaks of the University of Notre Dame as a place of teaching and research, of scholarship and publication, of service and community. These components flow from three characteristics of Roman Catholicism that image Jesus Christ, his Gospel, and his Spirit. A sacramental vision encounters God in the whole of creation. In and through the visible world in which we live, we come to know and experience the invisible God. In mediation the Catholic vision perceives God not only present in but working through persons, events, and material things. There is an intelligibility and a coherence to all reality, discoverable through spirit, mind, and imagination. God's grace prompts human activity to assist the world in creating justice grounded in love. God's way to us comes as communion, through the communities in which men and women live. This community includes the many theological traditions, liturgies, and spiritualities that fashion the life of the Church. The emphasis on community in Catholicism explains why Notre Dame historically has fostered familial bonds in its institutional life.

A Catholic university draws its basic inspiration from Jesus Christ as the source of wisdom and from the conviction that in him all things can be brought to their completion. As a Catholic university, Notre Dame wishes to contribute to this educational mission.

The thought hangs over me like a pall. If police can perform such an outrage locally, how soon will it be before our military is coerced by orders given to participate in a similar outrage - maybe nationwide? Am I paranoid?

If you’re a Firefox browser user, there’s an add-on called DownloadHelper which allows you to capture YouTube content in a variety of file formats like .FLV & MP4. Very useful tool...

I propose a week of prayer and fasting for repentance and to pray for G-d’s hand on our nation. Will anyone join me?

That is the most heartbreaking thing I’ve ever seen. I think it’s time.

It was hard for me to make it to the end of the video. I could not believe what I was seeing.

I am certainly praying. Countless Christians are, I have no doubt. Our prayers will not go unheard/unanswered.

I agree.

It should not end here. This could be a wakeup call for people.

I felt the same way when I viewed the video.

But I’ve been reading all I can on this and praying and I have a sense of power and strength about this

Christ is with us. He hears us. “Be not afraid”

Terrible,terrible.

I hope so many graduates walk out on Obama that it becomes a worldwide embarrassment for this administration.

When I watched earlier this moring, there were more than 18000 views on the one I saw.

When I watch some of the conservative youtube videos, many have posted the counts either stopped or were reversed by youtube. I cannot confirm this but I was watching one where the posts continued but the views stopped.

This is all really sad. I heard yesterday they would not give Keyes bail. The police were doing what they were told by Father Jenkins. But it appeared a little harsh to me. No one had guns or was hostile. Father Jenkins obviously has other goals than Catholicism at Notre Dame.

Is this the world obama is bringing to us forever? Christianity cannot be spoken about or funded but muslim can be? a parent yesterday said he was upset his daughters graduation was made to be so devisive. He said they would attend along with her friends because they did not want someone else to get the seat entitled to them.

As I listened there was not on mention of obama creating this. obama has torn the United states apart by his agenda and revenge policies. Those who have conservative values versus those who have none at all but they have greed and hate downpat.

They have frozen the hits at Youtube at 792.

It's now 'frozen' at 1734. I've seen YouTube freeze counts before, this isn't the first time that they've suppressed the popularity of a video - specially if it's one they disagree with.

I'm grabbing a copy of the video in case they pull it down so it can be re-posted.
