Mr. and Mr. Pete Buttigieg

Mr. and Mr. Pete Buttigieg
The University of Notre Dame has recently invited Peter Buttigieg, the former mayor of South Bend, Indiana to join its faculty for the coming 2020-2021 academic year. Buttigieg will be a Fellow at Notre Dame’s Institute for Advanced Study (NDIAS) and will take part in a group study focusing on the “nature of trust.” This fall he will release a book on this subject titled Trust: America’s Best Chance.
In April 2018, in forethought of his presidential run, Buttigieg, as Mayor of South Bend, confirmed his Democrat pro-abortion bona fides by vetoing a re-zoning request that would have permitted Women’s Care Center to open a crisis pregnancy office next to an abortion facility. Then, in June 2018, Buttigieg married his male ‘soul mate’ of three years, Chasten Glezman.
This decision by Notre Dame to associate itself with someone of Peter Buttigieg’s background is however completely predicable as it continues the “Hesburghian” legacy of rationalization of abortion as OK – in direct contradiction to Catholic belief and teachings. It follows directly along the path set in motion by Father Theodor Hesburgh, former Notre Dame President, who underhandedly supported abortion through his John D. Rockefeller and Governor Mario Cuomo connections, and then through to Father John Jenkin’s (Notre Dame’s current President) gratuitous awards of the University’s highest honors to former President Obama and Vice President Joseph Biden, both strong advocates of unfettered abortion.
One cannot imagine what Buttigieg could say or write that would have any validity or utility on the subject of Trust. This would be tantamount to expecting Satan to give a rational discourse on Methods to Avoid Sin. It is difficult to name another public persona who is less qualified to discuss Trust. He is not in trust of his own Christian education regarding teachings on abortion and same-sex marriage. Truth is the parent of Trust. To know Truth and understand Trust requires a close association with the embodiment and source of all Truth, Jesus Christ himself. This is an association which it would seem Buttigieg needs to further develop before he speaks about Trust. He is a hollow man seeking sanction for his untrustworthy and unCatholic life style by gaining an underserved affiliation with a Catholic university.
Father Jenkins offers this association free and without recompense so that Buttigieg may use it as he pleases to misinform the world about Catholic beliefs with the appearance of Notre Dame’s endorsement. Notre Dame, in the name of Truth and Trust, should reverse course and terminate its shameful and misguided association with Buttigieg.
Wow! A total loos for the priests of the Holy Cross...
May they lose to Alabama for the next 50 years as their penance!
For shame!!! (And giving Obama an award when the only public act he was known for was introducing a “murder the babies after they’re born
if you failed to get it done right before birth” bill in the Illinois legislature.). The administration of ND is controlled by the Chicago communist front gang and has been for several years. Sickening how the immoral power brokers can subvert a
Once- respectable college like this. Absolutely disgusting.
Hey Peter...that one looks sweet. We need more for the staff, Rod, to comfort them.
You can fool some of the sheeple some of the time and some of the sheeple all of the time, but you can’t fool all of the people all of the time, foo.

Disease-ridden homos.
Super!
This!!
I would not send any of my kids to ND!!! And I’m Catholic, (at least for now)!
They left Christianity and Catholicism behind a long, long time ago.
........................................
Catholic Universities all over the world have done the same. The Satan Council (1962-1965) has been spectacularly successful in achieving its mission to destroy the Catholic Church.
Advanced studies of what...buggery, fellatio and pederasty?
...............................................
That would be a funny remark if it wasn’t true!
They are not Catholic.

No, they’re certainly not Catholic, but neither are any of the other Catholic education organizations around the world.
I left the church some years ago. I have very personal, scarring, and legitimate reasons for doing so, but even still, I harbor no ill will towards the good clergy, nuns, priests, and lay Catholics, because I know they are there.
It is the combination of my personal experiences and lately, buttressed by this terrible, Marxist scum of a Pope.
Not the individual clergy or Catholics.
And Notre Dame? It turns my stomach.
I don't believe they will. They'll all bend the knee and it won't be to Christ or the Blessed Virgin.
I'm Missouri Synod (conservative) Lutheran, and I will pray for Notre Dame with all my heart.
You would think Pete Butt-gig might be the last straw, but I doubt it...and there will hardly be a ripple of disgust.

My heart goes out to good Catholics who must be shamed and disgusted by this.
Issuing a diploma to the idiot who fabricated “The 1619 Project” should be shameful enough for Notre Dame.

The catholic church and its institutions have been completely taken over by the left. All in a flash, since Benedict retired.
Should be teaching a course on “The Nature of Thrust”.
He’s a Marxist just like his late father Joseph, an expert on Communist strategist Antonio Gramsci and an Advisory Board member of “Rethinking Marxism”, as listed in their Summer, 1990 book/journal.
Who advocated the “long march through the institutions” to turn a country into a communist nation.
And his strategy has worked like a charm. I can’t think of a single institution that the left doesn’t control. Can you?
Big failure as a mayor, but he has all the right sick credentials in liberal land, so move right on into a cushy job in academia. Pathetic.
