Thread by me.

Nigeria Resurrection of Maggie Sanger (Hillary Clinton and Planned Parenthood)

Lagos — On March 27, 2009 in Houston, Texas, United States, Planned Parenthood Federation of America, founded by eugenicist Ms. Margaret Louise Sanger, bestowed the Margaret Sanger award on Mrs. Hillary Rodham Clinton, American Secretary of State, for her untiring efforts in spreading Sanger's teaching in the world. Gleefully receiving the award, Mrs. Clinton hailed Margaret Sanger as a role model. She praised her for purportedly providing "women and girls everywhere the opportunities" they deserve to fulfill their potentials as mothers, as workers and, as human beings. She said that the work of Margaret Sanger's in the United States and "certainly across our globe is not done". Mrs. Clinton laments that women, especially women in developing countries, are denied access to abortion clinics, contraceptives, "reproductive rights services" and other "family planning options". She argues that the skyrocketing maternal and infant mortality rates in the world, especially in developing countries, stem from denial of women access to abortion clinics, contraceptives and other reproductive rights. She says that her office has devised ways to liberate women from the clutches of economic and political strangulation by ensuring that they have unimpeded access to abortion, contraceptives and other family planning services which improve the quality of life of women. . .

Hopefully, if Zero does defile Notre Dame, the Church can punish Jenkins in such a way that EVERYONE will understand that the absolute right to life is not open for debate.

"Fr. Jenkins Will Probably Lose His Job": Nine More Bishops Make 42 against ND Scandal

NOTRE DAME, Indiana, April 20, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Nine more bishops have publicly acknowledged their disapproval of the University of Notre Dame's invitation to President Obama to speak and receive an honorary law degree at the school's commencement exercises May 17. 

Bishop Paul Coakley of the diocese of Salina, KS, told LifeSiteNews.com (LSN) today that he has written a personal letter to Father Jenkins expressing his "deep disappointment" at the invitation. 

Citing his grave concern over the President's support for anti-life policies, Bishop Coakley told LSN that he reminded University president Fr. John Jenkins of the USCCB directive that forbids Catholic schools from honoring those whose positions contradict the teachings of the Church. 

"The University's invitation undermines the Catholic identity and mission of the institution," said Coakley.

When LSN requested comment on the Obama invitation from Bishop Robert Vasa of Baker, OR, the bishop responded simply: "This is just one more sign of the failure of Catholic Institutions to stand up for and support a higher ethical standard."  

The Orlando Diocese, where Thomas G. Wenski is bishop, has announced a Mass of reparation for "the many shortcomings and transgressions committed against the dignity and sacredness of human life in our world," specifically for Notre Dame's decision to honor pro-abortion President Obama at commencement.  The Mass is taking place at the Cathedral of St. James on May 3, 2009.
 
In a column on the Orlando Diocese website, Bishop Wenski writes, "Notre-Dame (at least in its Administration and Board) has forgotten what it means to be Catholic."
 
"Last year, in Washington, D.C., Pope Benedict XVI addressed Catholic educators, including university presidents," wrote the bishop.  "He said 'to justify positions that contradict the faith and teaching of the Church would obstruct or even betray the university's identity and mission.'

"Father Jenkins, Notre-Dame's president, must have nodded off during the Pope's speech," he concluded.
 
Archdiocese of Cincinnati spokesman Dan Andriacco has confirmed to CNS that Archbishop Daniel E. Pilarczyk "supports the strong comments of Bishop D'Arcy of South Bend, in whose diocese Notre Dame is located."  Archbishop D'Arcy, who is boycotting Notre Dame's commencement, has said that Notre Dame must ask itself whether by this decision it has chosen prestige over truth.
 
Mr. Andriacco also said the archbishop stands by the editorial 'Prestige over Truth', appearing in The Catholic Telegraph, on April 3, which is critical of Notre Dame's decision to honor Obama.

On Saturday, Bishop Robert Finn of the diocese of Kansas City-St. Joseph, Mo., addressed the scandal in the course of his keynote address for the 2009 Gospel of Life Convention at St. Thomas Aquinas High School.

"It doesn't take another Bishops' Conference statement to know this is wrong: scandalous, discouraging and confusing to many Catholics," said Finn of the Obama invitation. "God knows what all motivates such a decision.

"I suspect that, since Notre Dame will need a scapegoat for this debacle, and Fr. Jenkins will probably lose his job, at this point perhaps he ought to determine to lose it for doing something right instead of something wrong."

. . .

"We will not be silent.
We are your bad conscience.
The White Rose will give you no rest."
