Notre Dame's Kabuki Dance with Obama and the Culture of Death

Notre Dame’s Kabuki Dance with Obama and the Culture of Death:
The Keynesian Kenyan from Kansas Meets the Kantians

Notre Dame’s Kabuki dance with Obama and the culture of death moves into full swing this weekend. Everyone should watch the steps of this tango very carefully as the Keynesian Kenyan from Kansas boogies down with the Kantians for some Transcendental Twister on the South Bend campus. Although some students and professors will boycott the commencement lovefest and attend a prayer vigil at the Lourdes Grotto on campus instead, the damage to Notre Dame will still be done and observers of Catholic higher education will be debating this bizarre event for some time to come.

Dreams from My Modernist

Among the howling absurdities of this latest episode were talking points presented to board members to give the best spin on the decision to honor Obama at commencement. In a stroke of sophistry and hair splitting which must have come from theological training at Holy Hand Grenade of Antioch Seminary, Fr. Jenkins announced that the U.S. Catholic Bishops’ ban on honoring pro-abortion politicians at Catholic universities did not apply to Obama because, get this, Obama is not a Catholic. This casuistry, we were assured, was certified by modernist canon lawyers consulted by Notre Dame. Keeping a straight face while delivering this whopper must have taken some ascetic discipline. And it seems likely Fr. Jenkins must have had practice since it is a safe guess this seminary training involved extra helpings of Rudy Bultmann, Hans Küng, Enneagrams, Kumbaya folk guitars, and Jonathan Livingston Seagull theology.

While it is clear that Obama’s orientation is far removed from the Catholic faith and traditional Christian moral standards, Jenkins’ enthusiastic and groupie-like attraction to Obama raises deeper questions about what is really going on and who exactly is in charge of running Notre Dame. They need to be pursued and answered so that Catholic standards can be restored and honored as soon as possible.

At the center of this is the elephant in the room, the liberal modernist mentality which came out of Vatican II and the 1967 conference on Catholic universities held in Land O’Lakes, Wisconsin, which set the course for modernizing and secularizing Catholic colleges and universities. It will be a good time to reflect on this liberal agenda and the damage it has done to Catholic education. Contrary to the utopian romanticism of the 1960s and 1970s which Notre Dame’s Theodore Hesburgh and Georgetown’s Timothy Healy imbibed with wild abandon, the Land O’Lakes agenda for Catholic universities has been a disaster. This Obama episode is just the latest in a much wider freakshow afflicting the modernist priesthood. The infiltration of Catholic institutions and even the priesthood by anti-Catholics and morally-challenged malcontents has created an environment hostile to the Catholic faith and normal Catholic values. It is a situation that no Catholic should be forced to tolerate. A Catholic institution bending over to Moloch and Mammon. And for what? The vanity of liberal prestige and secular status. It should not end here. There needs to be a rigorous investigation of those directing anti-Catholic trends at Catholic universities.

The anti-Catholic liberalism which has possessed administrative leaders at Notre Dame was predicted. Some professors at Notre Dame and elsewhere may remember the 1965-66 Symposium in America magazine debating the future of Catholic philosophy in the Catholic university. In his 1965 book on the same topic, Professor Ralph McInerny warned that the inrush of faculty with a non-Catholic orientation would pose dangers to Catholic institutions.

For more on the anti-Catholic agenda at Catholic universities, you can read Professor Carroll Quigley’s 1967 article ( "Is Georgetown University Committing Suicide?" ) which discussed a similar loss of Christian foundations at Georgetown: “But, instead of being Catholic, or even Jesuit, Georgetown has rudely turned its back on its one chance of making any contribution to American education and has instead almost totally destroyed its opportunity for becoming an excellent Catholic university and a good American university, in its frantic drive to become a fifth-rate Harvard.” Notre Dame has followed down a similar path in a demented and trendy quest for this Golden Calf.

si·mo·ny (sī'mə-nē, sĭm'ə-)

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Apparently Keyes has been arrested again. It will be interesting to see how this turns out.

[Carley]

It wasn’t about the invitation,it was about the honorary degree.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Both. They are not supposed to be given platforms for speeches advancing their agenda. ND is going against church policy on this. Around 71 bishops have said this.

[Steely Tom]

Kabuki Dance? I’d describe it as more of a lap dance.

[redgolum]

There was word on another thread that bail will be denied.

If so, then we are quite far along this dark path.

[redgolum]

I agree, though some have said that the degree is the issue.

Being unfamilar with that aspect of Roman Catholic theology, I am not sure.

"Kabuki Dance? I’d describe it as more of a lap dance.
5 posted on Friday, May 15, 2009 7:31:38 PM by Steely Tom

Should have expected that!
You got me there.

As Obama sashays and saunters across the stage to receive his honorary doctorate, all of the non-Catholic and anti-Catholic faculty and board members who think it doesn’t matter whether Catholic teachings are taught to students at Notre Dame should contemplate the following homework:

si·mo·ny (sī'mə-nē, sĭm'ə-)

n. The buying or selling of ecclesiastical pardons, offices, or emoluments.

[Middle English simonie, from Old French, from Late Latin simōnia, after Simon Magus, a sorcerer who tried to buy spiritual powers from the Apostle Peter (Acts 8:9-24).] si'mo·nist n.

[Venturer]

There may be Catholics at Notre dame that day, but they wont be on the inside listening to the Kenyan.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Bingo.

If there are 76 bishops so far protesting and voicing disapproval, it has accomplished something. Alan Keyes supposedly has been arrested again on campus. The photo of his first arrest tells the whole story:

Ironic. And interesting that in the 1960s professors and priests at Notre Dame, Georgetown, Fordham, and CUA predicted exactly these kinds of problems by opening up the doors to the Trojan Horse of secularization, de-Catholicization, and supposed academic freedom. Like Quigley's article on Georgetown. Could they have ever known just how absurd that Trojan Horse would become???

Why is he on the board of an organization like that? More "dialogue"?

A must read Pro-Life PING. Authored by our own Fellow Freeper, a defender of the Faith and defender of LIFE.

Please FreepMail me if you want on or off my Pro-Life Ping List.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

It may actually be discussed in Fr. Vincent Miceli's book The Antichrist, if I am recalling correctly, about the developing anti-Catholicism and anti-Church attitudes at Catholic colleges and universities then (about 30 years ago or so). I remember the older priests warning about these things. One in particular from Fordham during the 1970s when it was still somewhat shocking hearing Confessions of abortions. Times change...

[cpforlife.org]

From an usccb.org article*

In 1970, Nobel Prize winner Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn observed:

“Let us not forget that violence does not and cannot flourish by itself; it is inevitably intertwined with lying. Between them there is the closest, the most profound and natural bond: nothing screens violence except lies, and the only way lies can hold out is by violence.”

The more odious the violence, the greater the deceit is needed to justify it. Therefore, the defense of partial-birth abortion has required an inexhaustible store of lies.

*http://www.nccbuscc.org/prolife/programs/rlp//97rlpwil.shtml

And to Jenkins I quote myself: You cannot be both Christian and pro-choice on abortion. The two are diametrically opposed—polar opposites. If you think you are both you are living a lie.

[TruthFactor]

I have an idea for a political cartoon that I’d like some political satirist to use. Please pass it on if you feel it’s worthy.

Setting:

Obama standing in front of the graduates at Notre Dame with out-streched arms holding a miniature casket of a freshly aborted child. He pronounces to them as he did to Harry Reid “I have a gift”, meaning the aborted child.

The hundreds of so called “Catholics” in the audience overlook the aborted child and applaud and give adulation to Obama commenting to each other that he truly is gifted and wonderful.

Tragically Ironic. “There is none so blind as those who will not see.”

As I said, tragic irony.

[HowlinglyMind-BendingAbsurdity]

Good call on Solzhenitsyn. His Warning to the West certainly applies.

On the cartoons, there will probably be a media feeding frenzy of political cartoons and caricatures of Obama at Notre Dame, featuring all kinds of half blasphemous and sacrilegious images at the expense of Obama, Notre Dame, and Catholicism. Just like his episode covering over the cross and the name of Jesus at Georgetown. I'll send a link in a private message for forwarding any cartoon ideas or caricatures.

Sunday will be a good day to pray.
