>>One of the Vatican’s highest ranked clerics and a frequent critic of President Obama said Friday that Notre Dame is causing a “scandal” by giving the president an honorary degree and a platform to address graduates at its commencement next weekend.<<

They are giving him an honorary degree?

I didn’t really understand not letting the President speak because he disagrees with one of the church’s principles (for example Presidents Reagan, Bsuh41 and Bush43 disagreed with the church on the death penalty)....

But they sure don’t need to give him an honorary degree - that’s basically an endorsement.

Didn't the Good Archbishop hear that 67% of his flock approve of Obama's job performance in a recent poll?

Ok, What is Fr Jenkins saying about all this?

There is so much uproar that he cannot miss it. Is he just ignoring it all and pretending it is not happening? Or does he release a statement occasionally, or....???

God bless him for that!
