A faithful, 80 year-old Catholic Priest is arrested at Notre Dame for seeking to support the Catholic position on abortion.
VIDEO OF 80 YEAR OLD PRIEST BEING ARRESTED
God bless this priest.
Watch this...and read this...and weep for our nation.
And then take hope. This is exactly what huge numbers of Americans need to do on many, many issues if we are to turn around the conditions in this nation.
The left has practiced it for decades and shamed, cowed, and manipulated traditional Americans into letting our birthrights be walked on.
It is time we stood up and turned it around in numbers they never imagined.
IT WORKED IN KLAMATH...IT CAN WORK NOW
Rejecting the dishonorary PhD for the Impostor in Chief.
Thanks for the ping!
Why are they so afraid of an 80 year old man?

“It may be too much to hope, but Bishop Darcy needs to let this university go and force it to stop calling itself Catholic.”
It should be closed immediately, and who ever at the University allowed these arrests to happen should be fired and excommunicated.
I think we need something like tea parties in front of the Cathedrals in the cities of this country, and in front of the Catholic churches in the smaller communities in this country.
Count now over 15,000 and growing.
BTTT
I think that although ND is within the local diocese as a matter of geography, it is owned and operated by a seperate “order” of priests. The Bishop has the authority to order that the sacraments not be given on the campus, but doesn’t have any way of just closing it down.
Because he speaks the will of the Creator that they reject. It is the demons that rule their minds that fear that old man.

“I think that although ND is within the local diocese as a matter of geography, it is owned and operated by a seperate order of priests. The Bishop has the authority to order that the sacraments not be given on the campus, but doesnt have any way of just closing it down.”
The “seperate order of priests” is Catholic. Notre Dame was willed to their order by the founder of Notre Dame.
Yes, but that is not an order of what’s known as a “diocesan priests” under the direct control of the local Bishop. They have their own internal hierarchy which ultimately answers to the Vatican, but are not under the local Bishop. Among Jesuits, they have what I think are called “Provincials” but I don’t know the structure of the other orders of non-diocesan priests.
In one day — good job everyone — keep it going!
