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 Dames 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: Americas 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 Womens 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 Buttigiegs 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 Jenkins (Notre Dames current President) gratuitous awards of the Universitys 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 Dames endorsement. Notre Dame, in the name of Truth and Trust, should reverse course and terminate its shameful and misguided association with Buttigieg.
I’m going to be nasty on Notre Dame hiring Buttigieg. That school has been verring Left for a long time
Peter should be teaching a course on “Asstrophysics” entitled “The Theory and Nature of Thrust”.
Rev. Theodore Hesberg started the leftist march to what Notre Dame is today, which is a shame since he was a nice man, but a complete dupe of the Marxist Left..
One of their research groups, funded by the Kroc Family, is headed by a well-known Hanoi Lobby activist/veterans wing.
Unfortunately my information on his is buried under dozens of file boxes but the name “David Cortright” sound about right. He was a leader in the Communist Party USA “Mobe” successor faction known as the “Peoples Coalition for Peace and Justice” (PCPJ).
He was also a leader of SANE/Freeze when the Marxists took both organizations over, as well as being involved in the Tom Hayden/Hanoi Lobby lovefest held in a church in DC in about 2017.
If this is wrong, I will correct at this article’s FR site in the future.
There should a be a lot on him at www.DiscoveryTheNetwork.org and www.keywiki.org.
Thanks for the post.
Gramsci was a community organizer genius.
The CIP also interlocked with another organization Mattison founded in 1977, the Center for Development Policy (CDP, aka International Center for Development Policy, ICDP, International Center, etc.). Former Carter administration Ambassador to Paraguay and El Salvador Robert White, who has been President of CIP since 1989, became Chairman of the CDPs Commission on US-Central American Relations in 1983 and then served as President of CDP from 1985-1990. CDP conducted a lobbying and public relations campaign to influence public opinion on Latin America. The CDP Commission on US-Central American Relations publicity arrangements were handled by Fenton Communications (founded by former Liberation News Service photographer David Fenton), registered from 1983-1984 as a foreign agent representing the Nicaraguan government. The Commissions personnel included. . .anti-nuclear activist David Cortright, active in SANE/Freeze and in the CPUSA front the US Peace Council (USPC). . .During the 2004 campaign [former CIA Soviet analyst Melvin] Goodman became a policy advisor of the Secure America Project of the Fourth Freedom Forum, presided over by former CDP member and current Win Without War associate David Cortright. . .
His association with PCPJ is mentioned in the KeyWiki entry on that organization, and he also has his own entry detailing his SWP and SANE activity.
My late grandfather was a well-known professor at Notre Dame. He wouldn’t recognize the institution today.
Are you saying that Catholic homeschooling organizations are not Catholic?
If so, please tell us who (if anyone) is Catholic.
Hey those all begin with an s :-)
I think the cat is out of the bag down the street and caught the bus :-)
In the end the years go by and we might as well make the best of life even if it is falling apart around us sometimes. I will vote the right way and do what I can but it’s not worth going crazy over anymore.
Let the thirty year olds do that :-)
The voting ain’t helping. Other than Trump, I have no one to vote for. A slimy, racist weasel and con-man RINO Derp State liar (say that ten times fast) just bought the Senate race in TN. I won’t vote for Willard the Rat’s finance chairman for Senator. No one is running against my Democrat imbecile Congressman or State Representative (and State Senator ain’t up, and she’s rotten, too).
Lord deliver us !
Agreed.
But i am in no shape for a physical war so the lads and those who kept themselves fit...Godspeed!! :)
Mayor Pete gets his consolation prize.

Individuals and organizations that know, understand, teach, and LIVE the Catholic Faith as it existed prior to the Satan Council’s destruction of it are Catholic. All other individuals and organizations that proclaim to be Catholic, and that think they are Catholic, are not. That would include almost the entirety of present-day Catholicism throughout the world.
Below is a statistical study published by Kenneth Jones of St. Louis 37 years after the close of Satan Council which reveals the destruction the heretics at that Council had accomplished up to that time. Read it and weep.

That's exactly the sort of subject Satan teaches. Trust in each other, how to build trust in man, how to avoid wrongdoing (but no moral absolutes). Satan is all about man's ability.
ND is an apostate institution, has been for decades.
I left the church some years ago.
..........................................
I’m sorry to hear of your traumatic experience, and I agree with all of your comments. I too left the church when the Holy Tridentine Mass was destroyed and replaced by the Protestant-inspired Novus Ordo. Eventually I discovered the existence of so-called Latin Mass communities and immediately returned to Mass and the sacraments in Washington and Baltimore. After retirement I moved out to the Allegheny mountains where there is no Tridentine Mass closer than 100 miles from home. I check all the locations of the Latin Mass and attend same whenever I’m traveling close to where they are located.
I thought ND was a religious school, apparently not. Of course when they invited Obama there we all knew what they are.
And Notre Dame? It turns my stomach.

Same here, as does my alma mater, Georgetown.
