A letter w/88 signatures right to The Pope. The Pope is the only one I heard speaking out against abortion.

I thought that Jenkins was sacked after this??

Seems like the folks might appeal to the county prosector; I wonder if that is an elected post?

This just does not sound like the kind of thing that serious Christians would want to get involved with. Maybe the church got through to Caesar in its early centuries, but this didn’t happen by kissing an evil king’s hiney, it happened because an insistent church finally got its message across. It would be a better witness to Obama for Obama to have been declined than to have been invited to give a fatuous propaganda-op.

They did nothing other than voice their view but so did the other side. Yet only one side gets arrested. HATE CRIME, we have a HATE CRIME here.

Why 88, is that a magic number for such requests? I’d think that from FR alone, hundreds could be had.

We have a bull headed university president pulling strings and a DA going along. We'll have to see what the judge does. I wish some major attorney would step up and slap the university and the cops.

Worse, the president is wrong on his theology and Rome is silent.

You’re all not getting it. It’s the post-Christian era, and that forgiveness stuff is so passé.

Personally I wouldn’t ask Father Jenkins for a glass of water if I was dying of thirst.

As I remember from articles published at the time, a good portion of the UND Board has interests in the production and selling of embryonic stem cells, or they are involved in a group that provides contraceptive services in Africa. The Board has all kinds of cross connections with Obama, Mayor Daley, and their minions.

Go to Rome, and have the Pope ask for Notre Dame’s leniency.

Just as John Murtha has forfeited his right to be called a Former Marine; Jenkins has forfeited his right to be called Father and Catholic. He is truly “a wolf in sheep’s clothing”.

Father Jenkins needs to have a knot jerked in his butt by a higher up in the Church.

Leftists are always vindictive, unhappy, hateful, and dishonest. I would expect nothing less of “father” “fathead” Jenkins.

I believe that there is an icy spot in the seventh circle, just waiting...

I would not accept anything from him including leniancy. Nor would I offer him anything.

(See....'60s-style activism can work both ways.)
