No, it's not hypocrisy. Most, if not all, of the Notre Dame signers of this letter, were also the ones who opposed Obama's honorary degree 2 1/2 years ago.

You don't seem to realize that there are factions at Notre Dame --- as everywhere -- composed of people who stand in direct oppositon to each other's positions.

That's not hyprocisy. It's a sign of an internal, ongoing struggle.

And if some of them (though I don't know of any) were the very ones who supported Obama's degree --- are you against them turning away from evil? You want them to keep doing evil forever, because if they turn and do good, that would be "hypocrisy"?

(Shaking head.)

"A house divided against itself cannot stand."

Is Obama seeking to advance statism by further dividing the Catholic Church? As a result of this monumental and critical struggle, will the Church succeed and tend toward unity,or fail and lose even the present level of unity?
