Good ole Jenny Grandstand.
Before the Imported Canadian Socialist ever took office, her publicist was quoted as saying:
1) She needed a clothing designer becuase the cloths on the rack weren't good enough for her
and
2)The citizens of Michigan needed to build a Mansion more in the Regal style of other States, because the Current one in not suited for raising a family. Arggggggggggggggg It's gonna be a long Governors term!

"It is unfortunate that a few people have been successful in putting that great institution in a difficult position." This from a reputedly intelligent woman? "Intelligent" like Hillary!, perhaps? That's not intelligent at all, its just plain stupid. Why is it unfortunate that a reputedly "great institution" should be put in a difficult position? If they're wrong, as they are in this case, they should be put in a difficult position (it's more accurate to say that they put themselves in a difficult position). Maybe they'll think the next time they try something stupid.
A couple of thousand years ago a few people, led by one, put a lot of "great" institutions in difficult positions. Then, as now, people had to choose who they would stand with. A Catholic school, of all institutions, should stand with those who choose life, and oppose those who choose to support wanton slaughter.

This lover of baby killing touts her husband's "large Irish-Catholic family" in her official biography.

Touting her own religion and that of her husband's family while promoting abortion is soooo wrong.
Of course, an interesting sidenote is that she studied French at Berkeley, which explains much...

This is where the rubber meets the road for Cardinal Adam Maida. This story from last September indicates he didn't single Granholm out, but now he must:

And here I sent her a not congratulating her on her courage! Ditto! And your note was not wasted. Someone noted on the previous post that Sr. was a bit disconcerted over all the media attention. She vascillated between "yes" and "no" ... perhaps tomorrow, after reading our notes, she'll let the "ney's" have it again.

Granholm is Catholic and says she opposes abortion but supports freedom of choice. You can't have it both ways. You can't oppose abortion and say its OK for other people to have an abortion. Either abortion is right, or it's wrong. If it's wrong, it's wrong for all. If it's right, it's right for all.
I'm saddened by these events. Lord, have mercy on us sinners.

My e-mail:
Dear Sister,
I think of Jesus throwing the money changers out of the temple. Then I think of you and your school, in the name of fund raising, allowing the self-called Catholic governor of your state to participate in your auction. Enjoy your 30 pieces of silver, sister.
As a Catholic who attended Catholic grammar school, high school and college in New York, I find your behavior to be a disgrace to our church, especially in view of the guidance issued by the Pope earlier this month.
Sincerely,
30

As a Catholic who attended Catholic grammar school, high school and college in New York So did I ......... where did you go to school, if you don't mind my asking?
As for Sr. Regina, last week she "made news" by removing the luncheon with Gov. Granholm from the auction. She was very surprised by the "media attention" and has now caved in to the pressure.
Love your note! I sent her one last week of total support. Guess I'll have to send a retraction.

But 1975 graduate Rosemarie Denton expressed disappointment and said she will not send her daughter, a seventh-grader, to the school. "Apparently the liberals have taken over, and they can have it," Denton said. "When you say you're a Catholic school, then you should abide by the teachings of the Catholic church." And, there you have it .. Apparently the liberals have taken over, lead by Sr. Regina Marie. Here are some of the other items being auctioned off. Definitely not a typical middle class school. Check out Item #7. Cavier??? Sister, I believe the correct spelling is Caviar.

Ummm...auctions at the private schools auction what they can get. This is the stuff that was donated and usually is not solicited.
Two of my brothers went to a Jesuit HS here which holds the granddaddy of all private school auctions (over $300,000 every year). They auction what is given. They've auctioned cars, racehorses, pure-bred dogs (the one ruling my house came from this auction), antiques, sweatshirts, dinner parties, trips, you name it.
My guess is they came up with the theme after the donations came in. Decorating is the easy part.

Over at HMS Blog:
I just spoke with Cardinal Maida's spokesman in an attempt to clarify rumours that he would not interfere in the Mercy High School Auction.
The spokesperson states, "The Cardinal believes that this is a matter best resolved by the Mercy High School administration. The issue should be taken up with the High School's board of trustees and the Sisters of Mercy. The Cardinal himself regrets that the school has chosen to take this action and regrets any confusion this action may cause."
To which I respond, "The HMS Blog regrets that Cardinal Maida is such a gutless weasel." Please call the Cardinal and let them know your displeasure. Keep the phones ringing. (313) 237-5816
To: Kryptonite
Having spoken with Cardinal Maida's office, I am sure he will do absolutely nothing about Gov. Granhom or this incident. I will say prayers for Cardinal Maida to overcome his fears that verge on complicity with the enemy.

I used to think that Cardinal Maida was OK, but this officially pushes him onto the "suspect" list...

Protest called against Mercy-less auction
Feb. 19, 2003
Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!
From: Monica Migliorino Miller, Ph.D., Director
Friends,
Mercy High School in Farmington Hills has chosen to prefer abortion to Cardinal Maida and the Church's teaching. They caved in to abortion enthusiast Jennifer Granholm and ex-nun Agnes Mansour (who left her order rather than conform to the Church's pro-life teaching) in spite of Cardinal Maida's request last week that they remove Granholm from their auction.
Many Mercy alumni, parents, and donors are upset and are pulling their funding from Mercy, but the media says that only a fringe group of intolerant extremist Catholics oppose Granholm at Mercy.
You can prove them wrong by standing in prayer with hundreds of area Catholics outside of Mercy's auction THIS SATURDAY!!!
A prayer vigil will occur from 5-7 on Saturday, this Saturday, February 22nd, outside Mercy High School, at the Northeast corner of 11 Mile Road and Middlebelt in Farmington Hills. See the directions below.
The event will be peaceful, legal, and respectful, but firm in defending Church teaching at Catholic educational institutions. All you have to do is show up dressed warmly.
Mom's and daughters should especially consider participating. Young ladies and gentlemen from Mercy and other Catholic schools...Ladywood, Marian, Regina, Notre Dame Prep, Gabriel Richard, etc., should wear their letter jackets and call Mercy to account for their preferring abortion advocates to Cardinal Maida. Teens who are home schooled are encouraged to come as well. Non-Catholic brothers and sisters and all people of good will should join this important event to support the sanctity of human life.
Directions: 696 to Orchard Lake Road Exit. Turn (South) on Orchard Lake Road. Turn Left (West) on 11 Mile Road, and travel West for one mile to Middlebelt.
Don't park at Mercy! Park nearby wherever you can find a spot.
When: Feb. 22, 2003, from 5:00 - 7:00 PM
Place: Mercy High School
29300 Eleven Mile Road
Farmington Hills, Michigan
Please spread the word! And we'll see you there!

Director of Stop Granholm Church and Truth Project
