Please post all information about today's protests here.
My phone is already ringing steadily.
Our AIP folks on the ground at the Notre Dame gates report that the CBR plane is in the air.
Let us pray.

I saw that earlier, but I didn’t know what it meant.
I didn’t find anything on Google either.
I’m not very good with the government’s alphabet soup routine.
Yes. The attorneys overcame the shameful shenanigans of the judges and prosecutors in St. Joseph County, and Dr. Keyes was bonded out yesterday. He gave an amazing speech at the State Theater last night.
And yes, he will most definitely be there today.
EVERYONE,
Be sure to watch the arrest yesterday of a Catholic priest at Notre Dame.
Fr. Weslin as he is being arrested at Notre Dame asks “why would Notre Dame arrest a Catholic priest for protesting the killing of babies?”
Be sure to pass it on to your friends:

Center for Bioethical Response has billboard sided-trucks and billboards along the highways displaying anti-abortion messages around South Bend for those visiting for graduation.
Of the 27 in Texas, 6 signed on. One was Archbishop Gomez who issued this statement on 2/13/2008:
“Archbishop José H. Gomez, with the support of Bishop Patrick J. Zurek and Bishop Thomas J. Flanagan (retired) issued a statement in response to the appearance of Senator Hillary Clinton at St. Mary’s University.
Statement concerning the appearance of Senator Hillary Clinton at St. Mary’s University
I was surprised to learn of Senator Hillary Clinton’s appearance at St. Mary’s University. I was neither advised nor consulted by the university before the decision was made to have Senator Clinton speak at the university. Catholic institutions are obliged to teach and promote Catholic values in all instances. This is especially important when people look to our Catholic universities and colleges to provide leadership and clarity to the often complicated and conflicting political discourse.
It is clear that the records of Senator Clinton and some of the other candidates for president on important life issues are not consistent with the teaching of the Catholic Church.
It is not my intention to tell people for whom to vote. However, I encourage Catholics to understand the teachings of the church on the broad spectrum of public issues that are of great concern today. I urge the faculty and the ministry staff at St. Mary’s University to continue to carry out their responsibility to educate their students in their political duty in accordance with the teachings of the Catholic Church.
The Catholic bishops of the United States, in their 2004 document “Catholics in Political Life,” affirmed that when dealing with political candidates and public office holders, “The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.”
In a statement distributed by St. Mary’s University, they wrote, “As a Catholic tax-exempt university, St. Mary’s does not endorse political candidates or their positions on issues and acknowledges the fundamental differences between those of the presidential candidates and the Catholic Church.”
Our Catholic institutions must promote the clear understanding of our deep moral convictions on an issue like abortion, an act that the church calls “an unspeakable crime” and a non-negotiable issue.”

Bravo Ambassador Keyes!!
It’s working now. Alan Keyes on now.
I’ve had a number of people who were jailed with him tell me that it was the greatest day of their life. Many of them argued with the jailers who came to let them out because someone had posted bail for them. They didn’t want to leave.
Can you repost the link, Please?
Notre Dame update 5/17, 10:48a EST
The 8 buses from Chicago and MI have arrived...
This is one staging area. Eric Scheidler of Pro-Life Action League is holding the bullhorn...
Pro-lifers who have been given their signs are taking their places..
I can imagine so. He is a captivating, eloquent, consistent, conservative who stands on principle...rare that air.
sed libera nos a malo

Bishop Edward U. Kmiec, bishop of Buffalo, has declined comment on the Notre Dame scandal. Why is the shepherd hiding? His obligation to the Magisterium requires that he interpret the truths of the Faith to the flock. A great evil is in progress and His Lordship avoids confronting the wolf.
