Is it true Keyes has been arrested again?
Or was that just yesterday?

The video of the priest being arrested on cable news was surreal and Kafkaesque. Orwellian.
Like something from a really bad science fiction movie.

Keyes was arrested yesterday and denied bail (as were the others who were arrested last week). As far as I know they are still in jail. EV can verify.

It seems to be backfiring on Obama:

Majority of Americans now more pro-life

This is a big scarey issue for the democrats since the majority of Catholics are democrats. Finally the pro-life Catholics are going to take on the democrat hypocrisy head on. For many years the democrat leadership has played both sides of the aisle claiming to be personally against abortion but “pro choice”. Looks like it is going to hit the fan.

And all of the suave and worldly-wise liberals were just so sure that the social issues were going to go away. NOT!

It's a perfect symbol for the whole thing: Alan Keyes behind bars in jail for being pro-life while glad-handing Obama, the pro-abortion maniac president, walks on red carpets to receive an honorary doctorate from Notre Dame. If that doesn't sum up the modernist heresy, what does?

There were students expelled from the Catholic university I attended for possession of illegal drugs. Abortion is more evil than recreational drug use. If Obama were a student at Notre Dame he would have to be expelled. So he doesn't deserve ANY degree.

What do you make of Keyes and even an 80-yr-old Catholic priest being led away from campus in handcuffs to be jailed?

Now I want the Bishop who has the authority to explain to Catholic why Jenkins in on PRO-ABORTION ANYTHING. And then to give that priest the authority to invite someone like Obama is lukewarm. And we all know what Jesus said about those lukewarm!!!!!!!!!

Obama bought face time at ND with his fame. ND isn’t a church, but the average Joe could be pardoned for regarding ND as an arm of the RCC.

Bingo. Technically it is Simony, the buying of ecclesiatical and spiritual favors, honors, pardons, etc. That's a serious sin.

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.

The RCC should really make it clear that ND isn’t an arm of it now, if it ever had been. God won’t let people get away with polluting the name of Christ forever.

There is a legal procedure in canon law in the Church. The property at Notre Dame essentially has been stolen by a group of heretics, anti-Catholics, and deviant clergy who oppose Church teachings and are abusing the property for their own twisted agenda. What should happen is canonical legal procedures should be pursued for the return of the property to lawful Catholic authorities in communion with the Church. And ALL of the anti-Catholics, heretics, liberals, and perverts should be fired and removed from the premises. That is what should happen.

Seen a lot of weird things in the Church, this was certainly one of the most embarrassing and disgraceful.

Strictly speaking, you would find more support for universal Christian causes in a lot of Southern Baptists than you would in the herd of CINOs that comprise ND.

Well, Hannity had a liberal priest on his show tonight, along with Ralph Reed. I don't know which Protestant denomination Reed is with but he gave a much more coherent presentation of the pro-life position than that poor excuse for a Catholic priest. It was embarrassing. But good to see Reed's solid defense of the sanctity of life. Hopefully this sad event will galvanize and jumpstart the pro-life movement. God knows we need it!

It doesn't have to end here.

Alan Keyes was talking about filing a canonical suit in Church courts.

As a picky point, a lot of Baptists would bristle at being called Protestant, they prefer Evangelical. They never had an organizational nexus with the RCC to form the basis of a protest in the Lutheran sense.

I believe Keyes would do it, too. That ought to put some complacent feet to the fire.

Good point. Apologies if anyone was offended.

It was good to see Baptists and Catholics uniting on the pro-life cause.

Alan was arrested for the second time on Friday. He intended to bond out to go on Hannity’s TV show, but the day before the St. Joseph County Superior Court judges had secretly changed the rules on bail, specifically to make sure that Alan would have to stay in jail until after the OBozo show had come to town and left.

Fortunately, some smart lawyers threatened them with a federal lawsuit over this abuse of power, and they let Dr. Keyes out yesterday. He came down to the State Theater and gave a barnburner of a speech.

Anyway, he’s out, and did Hannity tonight.

“It was good to see Baptists and Catholics uniting on the pro-life cause.”

I love that picture of the two burly Baptist Pastors supporting Fr Weslin.

Keyes was good on Hannity.

He made a solid presentation and gave a good account of what has been going on, particularly with references to ND's Board of Trustees basically on the take via Obama's Chicago machine links.
