Most of the debate has centered on Notre Dame’s decision to invite and honor the President. Less attention has been focused on the President’s decision to accept.

President Obama has come to Notre Dame, though he knows well that we are fully supportive of Church teaching on the sanctity of human life, and we oppose his policies on abortion and embryonic stem cell research.

He is covering his butt! He is saying... oh please, don't stop the donations! We don't agree with Obama on every matter, so please don't stop the gravy!

Absolutely correct.

This should never have been an issue if Father Jenkins had actually been listening to the voices of the church, rather than appeasing the secular left.

Who is Jenkins going to ultimately bow before? President Obama, or our Blessed Holy Mother?

I think we know the answer.
