[AnAmericanMother]

I wrote Gregory myself. Here is the reply from his "communications director":

Dear Ms. xxxxx:

Thank you for your kindness in writing a letter sharing your concerns about the University of Notre Dame’s invitation to President Obama to speak at the commencement this month. As the Communications Director for the Archdiocese of Atlanta, I am responding to your message on behalf of Archbishop Gregory.

Archbishop Gregory has not made a public comment about the Notre Dame controversy, but has allowed Bishop John D’Arcy of Fort Wayne-South Bend to be the one to take the lead since Notre Dame is within his diocese. You are encouraged to contact Father John Jenkins, CSC, the President of the University of Notre Dame, to express your personal dismay at the invitation.

Grace and peace,

Patricia M. Chivers

Communications Director Archdiocese of Atlanta

I don’t know AnAmerican Mother, sounds like Bishop Gregory is coping out...but it really doesn’t surpise me.
