The simple truth is that Notre Dame hasn't been a Catholic institution in decades. It's basically a large secular corporation that owns a mediocre football team and the copyright on a logo of a silly leprechaun with clenched fists.

apostasy.
plain and simple.
You forgot that Fr. Jenkins is madly in love with HolyO and his speech was a slap in the face to all those who believe in the Catholic Church doctrines, and those of us non-Catholics who share that belief...both Jenkins and HolyO were such hypocrites in their speeches, that I could see a movie of the week being made over this mess—Jenkins talks about how we need to keep the lines of communication open...cut to praying protesters being snatched up and zip tied and dragged off to jail...HolyO talks about how we need to listed to both sides of the abortion issue, just because those who oppose it are wrong, doesn’t mean they shouldn’t be listened to...cut to Norma M. being arrested and taken off to jail...etc etc etc...
It was absolutely horrifying to hear the approval and applause and standing ovations from nearly every person in that auditorium yesterday...Jesus is weeping that mankind, after all these millenium, STILL will sacrifice the unborn to Molech/HolyO/Jenkins! :*(
UMTRUE=UNTRUE
Man, I need to take a step back when I type when I’m so angry and come back and proofread better!
I would really like to know what EVER made Notre Dame a Catholic university in the first place:
- Mandatory mass attendance?
- Required courses in Catholicism?
- Weekly confessionals?
The mere fact that it was “run” by the Catholic Church is a very loose definition of a true Catholic University.
Obama’s appearance, let alone the bestowal of an honorary degree, at a university named for the Mother of God is unquestionably a disaster of the first order, but how “Catholic” has Notre Dame ever been, even in its glory days?

Okay, time to take a break til I calm down.
The definitive retrospective on the Notre Dame/Obama scandal:

I don’t disagree with you on that.
I read the transcripts but couldn’t stand the idea of watching the video.
This is war, with Obama as the agitator who brought it to a head, and Jenkins as the traitor who gave him that opportunity.
The Church now needs to make it very clear to all that Notre Dame does not represent what the Church stands for.
what did you people expect from a MUSLIM?
My question is ‘ is it ok to spit on him and call him a baby killer?’
it was ok for the enemy in the 60’s to do it to our returning soldiers.
They have been exposed.
It is good that the faithful now know the enemy a bit better.
“Identify Friend or Foe”
The most important part of any battle.
"Look'it that guy they're dragging away now... isn't that that Weslin guy?"
Thank you! I heart Alan Keyes!
I hadn’t been aware that the Vatican DID address this issue—time will tell if they will follow-through and reprimand/(excommunicate?) Jenkins and ND for this outrageous, egregious flaunting of moral relevance.
Thanks, I just watched Sean’s interview with Ambassador Keyes that you linked to.
Did you catch that moment when Obama came in and KISSED Fr. Keyes on the cheek?
It reminded me of the Kiss of Judas—except in this case we witness two Judases kissing each other as they conspire at the attempted destruction of the Church.
Someone should make a You-Tube video out of that.
BO must be real proud of himself. He got elected POTUS with no decent record or even presenting his qualifications, the world falls at his feet, and now a prominent representative of one of the world’s biggest and oldest religions has just chucked his principles in order to honor him. Now I see how Hitler did it.
This is so sickening....and dangerous.
Some of us tried to get Drudge to change that “silence of the Vatican” headline yesterday, which he got from Time Magazine, since it really was not true. Unfortunately he wasn’t listening or didn’t understand the matter.
The Vatican has spoken out very clearly on this matter, and the local bishop has spoken out very clearly, but Fr. Jenkins has closed his ears to it—and Obama is guiding the propaganda campaign through the media. That is part of the scandal.
I mean Fr. Jenkins, not Fr. Keyes. Good grief, time for a lunch break.
Actually, the Vatican and popes have addressed this issue for many, many years. I don’t know that they can say it better than “unspeakable crime”. Fr. Jenkins has not heard it.
