Catholics Overwhelmingly Oppose ND Honor to Obama: Ramussen Poll

If only that percentage of Americans opposed honoring him with the Presidency.

“I’m “losing” it on many fronts. The MAJORITY of catholics don’t want this to happen ... but it happens. The majority of people don’t want gay marriage ... but it happens. On and on and on ... when will the MAJORITY of people be heard.”

Very, very good point. This is not a battle that can be fought in the public arena alone. This is a spiritual battle that is being fought in many dimensions.

Trust in Jesus. Many are in despair, or believe we are unable to change what is occurring and that is a spiritual attack.

The end has been written already. We can only do what we can with the arms we have been given: The Eucharist, prayer, our Lady, and the spiritual arms of the Bible and the Church. We can write and demonstrate and call on our leaders, but I do sense a spiritual miasma growing thicker by the day.

We are the grunts out here using the weapons we have been given. The enemy lost 2009 years ago. This is but the final moping up of the insurgents.

Perhaps Notre Dame has helped educate Catholics on the sad state of many Catholic colleges especially Notre Dame. In the current issue of Catholic NY Mary Ann Glendon points out that Obama’s opposition to basic beliefs of the Catholic Church goes back to his student days at Harvard.Some HONOREE?

The man’s speech is very seductive

This satement drives me "nuts" -- neither his voice, his turn of phrase or the ultimate meaning of words that come from Obama are seductive, enthralling or moving in any way.

This untrue, deliberate rumor is part of the picture we are supposed to believe. It is deliberately mistaken representation of the rapt attention he should receive with these qualities of speech, IMOHO.

I think this is a planted rumor that was taken as fact and that people who say this only say it because it has been fed to them, as have many "media or "campaign managed" qualities' of the empty suit that now leads and endangers our great Nation.

Just another Obamanation fed to the gullible and swallowed hook, line and sinker.

I’ve got to agree, I do NOT think his speech is “seductive” I think it’s creepy. My internal red flags are all up whenever he speaks.

I am very happy to see so many Bishops and others that are vocally opposing honoring B. Hussein. I think it is a disgraceful for Notre Dame to honor him in this way when he spits on the most fundamental beliefs of the Catholic Church.

FWIW - I am Catholic and voted against him. I thought his views on abortion and the birth of Sarah Palin’s down syndrome son were an obvious indicator of good v. evil - I had hoped that most of the electorate could have seen this, too.

I’ve been with highly educated, very thoughtful people around the beltway and they are enthralled by this man’s speeches. He says absolutely nothing, and they can’t think of anything but buzzwords when describing his statements.

Because you are not seduced doesn’t mean others aren’t.

Very telling that Murphy failed to post this story. I seriously doubt he’ll be posting the link to this article on your homepage.

And just how would I manage to post anything to topher's homepage?

The bishops who have so far expressed disapproval of Notre Dame's invitation to Obama (in alphabetical order) are:

Current count: 68 bishops

Bishop Joseph V. Adamec - Altoona-Johnstown, PA

I know Catholics who voted for Obama. Their position, on abortion for example, is that they feel even though the Catholic church opposes abortion, the US gov should not place the same conditions on it's citizens. They use that logic to justify them voting for Obama.

Catholics are starting to listen to the GOOD bishops!

But when the context changes to principle over politics, and Americans are made aware that a Catholic university is violating a directive of the Catholic bishops based on moral teaching, public opinion swings against Notre Dame's action.

Which corroborates a larger principle: in any segment of population and on any issue, the better informed the sample respondents are, the more conservative their opinions become.

why this can’t be, the MSM tells us 0bama receives great support from the Catholic community (/sarc)
