If he does speak at Notre Dame the real Catholic should turn their back when he speaks to them, or not show up at all.
Is this a joke?

This does leave a bad taste. I hope some people can form a sizable protest there.
That’s pretty damn funny.
But are you sure you want that?
Just saying.
Helleva line.
Don’t worry about it. The door is always open and the light is warm.
God bless our Pope. Damn those pr scribes of Pelousy who tried to twist the truth into a lie.
Fail.
Not even the Jesuits could be this deceitful!
I think of all the aborted souls and I often wonder if, in societies laziness and selfishness, if we haven't aborted the soul or souls to have saved us, lead us righteously.
Such a waste and those attending this graduation should voice their opinion, the time has come to stop being quiet.
