Unbelievable.
This explains a lot! How did he get to his current position with ND with that on his resume?
Time for a good oldfashioned Inquisition?
Pray
The Baby-Killers and their accomplices make the Inquisitors look like rank amateurs. And it is them who are having faithful Christians incarcerated for speaking out.
That is the problem. ND is controlled by this board, and while the Vatican can do anything it wants to Jenkins, that will not stop the lay board from inviting and giving the degree to Obama. Alumni are withholding $14 million from ND right now, and these people are such devoted followers of The One that even that is not enough to sway them.
The only thing the Vatican can do is give D’Arcy the authority to say that ND is no longer to be considered a Catholic institution.

***What is good enough for the 54% of Catholic voters who voted for Obama, is good enough for Jenkins.***
Shortly after WWII the suburbs blossomed overnight when the service men returned, married, and raised families. Churches were needed for the suburbs, and schools. Needless to say, land became scare, religious schools were overcrowded. Children who should have been learning a complicated religion such as the Catholic religion were relegated to the kind mercies of the government-controlled public schools.
The result? There are many, many so-called Catholics who never got sufficient training in their religion. Thus the cafeteria-Catholics don’t even know that they are NOT Catholics. Don’t let the polls fool you. The Church has not changed in its attitude to abortion.
This same Trustee, Chambers, serves on the ServiceNation leadership council. ServiceNation is a political group that supports the enormous multiplication of federal national service programs in the Obama agenda, including the just-passed Kennedy Serve America Act. The Kennedy act was touted as the “largest expansion of community and national service since the launch of the Civilian Conservation Corps.”
All the details you can stomach HERE and some FReeper discussion about it HERE.
Man, to clean that place out we'll need a couple big 'dozers and a front-end loader. In nomine Patris, et Filii, et Spiritus Sancti ...

LOL! Thank you for that.
Well, I don't know about excommunication, but here's what Canon Law says:
Can. 278 §3. Clerics are to refrain from establishing or participating in associations whose purpose or activity cannot be reconciled with the obligations proper to the clerical state or can prevent the diligent fulfillment of the function entrusted to them by competent ecclesiastical authority.
Can. 273 Clerics are bound by a special obligation to show reverence and obedience to the Supreme Pontiff and their own ordinary.
Can. 1389 §1. A person who abuses an ecclesiastical power or function is to be punished according to the gravity of the act or omission, not excluding privation of office, unless a law or precept has already established the penalty for this abuse.
§2. A person who through culpable negligence illegitimately places or omits an act of ecclesiastical power, ministry, or function with harm to another is to be punished with a just penalty.Can. 1399 In addition to the cases established here or in other laws, the external violation of a divine or canonical law can be punished by a just penalty only when the special gravity of the violation demands punishment and there is an urgent need to prevent or repair scandals.
He could and should be given direction under obedience to his Superior to resign from this board and to repudiate his actions.
If he does this, Christian charity binds us to forgive him. If not, then his Superior should ramp it up until Jenkins' attention is gotten.
CAUTION: I am not a canonist. Therefore, I may have missed something. Take the above as the words of a barracks lawyer.
Thanks EV
I'm sure the reason he is there is to "open up a dialogue" with the pro-abortion folks. I bet THAT'S going well.
>The Church has not changed in its attitude to abortion.<
I know very well that the Church has not altered its theology—only many of its members have changed their understanding of it.
This is beyond a disgrace.
We are at war and the hierarchy is out to lunch.
As I understand it, Religious Order priests as well as diocesan priests can only function as priests IF the bishop in the diocese where they are grants them permission.
So it seems that one thing that can be done with rouge colleges is (if the bishop has the guts) is to remove the bad priests and let the Religious Order know that they should not bother sending another unless he's good.
The lay people on the board could also be put under some church penalty — excommunicate them if warranted.
