Dead to me.
n St. Joseph County Circuit Court, Chief Judge Michael Scopelitis ruled that Thomas More Society's (TMS) special counsel, Tom Dixon, may depose William Kirk, former associate vice president for residential life at the University about the university’s decision to arrest and prosecute the pro-lifers.
William Kirk is the one who allowed GAY ACTIVISTS and Anti-Military Activists to hold ILLEGAL PROTESTS ON THE CAMPUS.
Nothing was done to these protests (there were no arrests).
However, the ND88, protesting based on Catholic Beliefs, were arrested...
Ping. This is good news. Basically, what William Kirk did could be the basis for a counter suit against Notre Dame.
Notre Dame Protesters Win Right to Individual Jury Trials [ND88]
This is FREEREPUBLIC thread about the LifeSiteNews.com article.
Dead to me.
ping - don’t know if you care about this thread...
There would be basis, based on William Kirk allow illegal protests by the Gay protesters and anti-military protesters, but then prosecuted people who protested based on Catholic beliefs.
Additionally, there are the 100+ Bishops/Archbishops/Cardinals that were against Father Jenkins and Notre Dame and, in a sense, supportive of the ND 88.
Even though the ND 88 may not want to win lawsuits for millions of dollars against Notre Dame, it might get the lawsuits against them dropped.
And if they do win, they could donate the money to PRO-LIFE causes.
The reason Notre Dame would want to NOT HAVE the potential of a $2.2 BILLION lawsuits against them is the possibility of the ND 88, no matter how small.
That would cripple a University, and Notre Dame might be forced to throw in the towel, and cry uncle.
And it would make the ND 88 sleep better at night...
Personally, I hope the 88 win their case and go on to sue jenkins (I refuse to call him Fr. and won’t even capitolise his name.)and Notre Dame.
Very nice!
Is William Kirk related to Russell Kirk, the great conservative from Notre Dame?
Is the Notre Dame in South Bend, Indiana, the former Catholic University now a secular institution?
