I was personally sickened by it. It was an Obama campaign speech and a recitation of the liberals manifesto. It equated a host of social justice issues to abortion and made engagement with evil an acceptable substitute for confronting and defeating evil.

CBS Radio:
...Obama faces down anti-abortion activists and calls on Notre Dame graduates to open their hearts and minds to those who don't think like we do...

Media-sharing-the-bong alert.

My mind drifts to a less than holy...”...and the horse he rode in on”. I guess I know where I will be next Saturday.

I listened to the Father and to Obama. Here's my questions for the Father.

How about his abject and wanton support for the Freedom of Choice Act, Father?

How about his removing the ban on fedferal funds for abortion, Father?

How about his vote against stopping partical birth abortion, Father?

How about his sickening votes in the IL Senate against a bill aimed at stopping live birth abortions, Father?

Sorry, hearing his opposing view is one thing. Dialog and engagement are one thing...and they are all good things to do in the public square so people can hear clearly both sides and decide accordingly.

But what you did today goes far, far beyond hearing him, or engaging him. You honoredf him with a law degree, thereby tacitly lending credence to his position in law which is the abject antithesis of the fundamental values that the Catholic Church stand for, and its position on this fundamental, crucial issue.

Shame, shame, shame. You have twisted the minds of youth towards an avenue of deciet and and wrong which may take decades to undo.

For all of your, and Obama's flowery words about aborting less babies...and let's be clear...for all the talk about KILLING less babies, all that Obama stands for and is pushing for...and will continue to puch for...is going to result in many, many more abortions here and abroad.

God have mercy on your soul and on him for that.

At least this good, faithful Priest, whom YOU had arrested, knew how to address this issue...and God bless him for it.

More than any problem in the arts or sciences - engineering or medicine – easing the hateful divisions between human beings is the supreme challenge of this age.

Do not think that I came to bring peace on earth. I did not come to bring peace but a sword. ...Matthew 10:34-35

By sword Jesus means division...and that's exactly what we are witnessing within the Catholic Church and in the nation.

I’d like to introduce the man who spent 20 years listening to Reverend Jeremiah Wright’s vile venom...

He’s a great Christian.

Cheers all around.

Hard to imagine how one can be so cheery in the presence of an infanticide advocate. Where does he draw the line? Toddlers? If Obama was for toddler-cide then would he perhaps be hesitant about letting him speak?

>> We are called to serve each community of which we’re a part, and this call is captured in the motto over the door of the east nave of the Basilica: “God, Country, Notre Dame.” <<

Blasphemer. “Notre Dame” refers to “Our Lady,” not the University. “Our Lady” refers to the embodiment of the Church, the Blessed Virgin Mary, Queen of the apostles. A university is corrupt, not just apostate universities which grovel at a demonic president, but all universities are corrupt, being institutions of the fallen; she is not.

The spirit of relativism is well-honed within the Notre Dame leadership. ;-(

I find the following interesting:

Obama, like all self-proclaimed messiahs, markets himself as a "uniter;"
nobody has done more to divide the Church in memory than Obama.

There’s a good chance the baby crying was just a recording, but still...nice effect (I’m disappointed more people didn’t come with crying-baby ringtones).

Being the cynic I am, I think there’s also a good chance the cheering masses were hired.

With all due respect, Rev. Jenkins:

Take your tolerance and stuff it up your ass. We are not called to tolerate evil. If you think you can twist Christ’s commandment to “love our enemies” into a duty to compromise our beliefs, you’re fooling yourself, and this American Catholic is going to call you on it.

Loving our enemies does not mean being “nice” to them. It does not mean allowing them to spew poison into the ears of the young. I means taking them firmly by the shoulders and saying “Brother, you are being used as a tool of the Enemy. Repent and recant your lies so that we may walk together in the Light of the Lord.”

You could have used this as the opportunity of a lifetime to proclaim the Truth of the Catholic Church to the world. Instead, you have taken Our Lady and strapped her to an abortionist’s table.

Shame, shame on you, you whitewashed tomb. May God forgive you.
