I have emailed both the Superior General (in Rome, Italy) of the Holy Cross Congregration, and Father John Jenkins about Canon 916 and Father John Jenkins.

I firmly believe that Father Jenkins is in serious sin. Some have disputed this with me, but Father Jenkins has disobeyed the 2004 directive from the USCCB on two major accounts -- giving the Honorary Law Degree and also giving Obama the honor of giving the Commencement talk at Notre Dame (a Catholic University).

Marymount Manhattan College got kicked out of the Catholic Church for inviting Hillary Clinton to give the commencement in 2005. Cardinal Egan did that...

Additionally, Father John Jenkins has caused a great scandal in the Roman Catholic Church...

Do you agree or disagree?

I believe that Father John Jenkins will be forced to resign over this.

Additionally, there will be some sort of committee set up to oversee such activities in coming years at Notre Dame -- to "approve" who gives a commencement.

On the downside, Georgetown is going to give pro-abort VP Joe Biden an honoary degree...

We are overlooking a very big reason for Father John Jenkins to go to Washington, DC.

That would be the "Apostolic Annuncio"

The way that Pope Benedict would convey a very urgent message quickly (and directly) would be by such a meeting.

Such a meeting would be likely, as a representative of the USCCB could also attend, as well as a representative for Bishop D'Arcy (Diocese of Fort Wayne/South Bend).

In other words, Being asked to see the "Apostolic Annuncio" would be a way of Pope Benedict being able to "privately" reprimand Father Jenkins (in a sense)...
