...Fr. Theodore Hesburgh, Notre Dame's president, who offered Notre Dame's campus as the venue for the conference, provided it was funded by a foundation grant. Rockefeller agreed to the funding on condition that only Catholics who believed as Rockefeller did were to be invited, a condition to which Notre Dame brass readily agreed. Notre Dame went further, arranging that the conference be unpublicized to avoid opposition from the bishop and loyal Catholics. Uh-huh. Cash. Cold-hard cash. Why is this not shocking. Rockefeller tried more ways than not for decades to get the Church to change the teaching. Pope Pius IX wrote a whole encyclical in response. Just remember, public relations was invented to make the Rockefellers look good. Disguising evil is never easy.

It is EXTREMELY SHOCKING! This is all new to me -- I had no idea. What a horrid legacy for Notre Dame! Fr. Hesburgh sold it's soul a long time ago! My goodness, what a disgrace. Catholics need to be informed. We have been kept in the dark for too long. Evil cannot thrive when the light is cast upon it. So let us bring it out from the dark and expose it for what it is.
