I would like very much to know the feelings of this good man of Christ on Obama speaking at the commencement at Notre Dame, given Obama’s statements on abortion.

Here is the response to the question you posted earlier in the week on the other thread.

Father Corapi is our gift from GOD.

[verga]

I pray for him and BXVI regularly

Obama is the enemy of the Catholic Church. I wish Jenkins could be forceably removed.

He's a great apologist and catechist — he's probably right, he wouldn't be a good pastor, but (if I had to compare him to one of the first apostles) it would be St. Paul. Father Groeschel would probably be my vision of St. Peter.

I never thought I would say this, but here it is for what it's worth.

I DO NOT, NOR WILL I EVER, support abortion except as the last possible choice for the life of the mother. Having said that, the President is correct. It is an ethical and moral matter. It is the DUTY of the government to make certain that if abortion is offered (in my belief, under my criteria outlined above), that it is available, safe and legal. It is the DUTY of ALL men and women of faith (and those of us in Christ) to make certain that no one, other than a mother whose life may slip away, has need of one or the desire to obtain one.

Nothing will be solved until we do our jobs to educate and proselytize those over whom we have influence. You cannot legislate a change of heart. Moses found that out 5,000 years ago. So, it means we can only influence those with whom we share this road to salvation. Therefore, the Catholic Church has the right to defend itself from this assault on its values by shunning it. It means that we need to make certain this subject is taught and lived within our own lives. All life is precious. Treat it as such.

I truly believe we are looking at a living saint. The man has made such an impact on so many lives. I’m so glad he is better!

His constant and unwavering support for the right to choose the homicide of abortion is a matter of record—and not only abortion, but partial-birth abortion, infanticide, fetal stem cell research, and even removing the right of medical professionals to act in accordance with their conscience marks him as a singular enemy of essential elements of the Catholic Church’s moral teaching.

Well said. Heartbreaking, but well said.

[Antoninus]

Excellent statement by Father Corapi. Not unexpected, of course. God bless him!

I have a new idea for what those ND grads and their families who object to this should do. Don't walk out. Don't turn your back. Instead, begin praying the rosary LOUDLY all together as soon as Obama is announced and don't stop until you're finished. The Sorrowful Mysteries, of course.

If Obama is still rambling when you're done, begin the Chaplet of Divine Mercy.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Why is it that he gets it but the president of ND remains clueless???

[the invisib1e hand]

These are not trifling words:

No president in history has been so damaging to the cause of respect for life than this one...a singular enemy of essential elements of the Catholic Church’s moral teaching.
