Please post all information about today's protests here.

My phone is already ringing steadily.

Our AIP folks on the ground at the Notre Dame gates report that the CBR plane is in the air.

I missed it. Steele did a good job? But he praised obama’s speech?

Hail Mary,
Full of Grace,
The Lord is with thee.
Blessed art thou among women,
and blessed is the fruit
of thy womb, Jesus.
Holy Mary,
Mother of God,
pray for us sinners now,
and at the hour of death.
Amen.

Doug Kmiec Reaffirms Endorsing Sen. Barack Obama
By Douglas W. Kmiec
5/3/2008
Catholic Online (www.catholic.org)

“To some of my fellow Catholics, Senator Obama’s answers on abortion make him categorically unacceptable. I understand that view, respect it, but find it prudentially the second-best answer in 2008.”

Not because Senator Obama’s position on abortion is mine; it is not. Not because I don’t believe Senator Obama could improve the articulation of his position; he could, but because I believe that my faith calls upon me at this time to focus on new efforts and untried paths to reduce abortion practice in America.

Senator Obama’s emphasis on personal responsibility, rather than legal bickering over potential Supreme Court nominations in my judgment, best moves this issue forward.

The Republican Party has had a better claim to be pro-life because of words in its platform supporting the overruling of Roe v. Wade. Roe is bad constitutional law, because it’s not based on the Constitution or any tradition or custom implicit within its terms.

Yet overturning the decision does little other than return the issue to the states. Conservative justice and fellow Catholic Antonin Scalia has pointed out that following Roe’s hypothetical demise, if the states want abortion thereafter all they have to do is pass a law in favor of it.

As a matter of constitutional legal theory, I believe Justice Scalia is entirely wrong and that Roe is flawed not just for its displacement of state authority, but more fundamentally, for its disregard of the natural law presuppositions in the Declaration of Independence.

As I see it, the “self-evident truths” of the Declaration have interpretative significance for the meaning of “life” and “person” in the constitutional text — and that meaning makes life unalienable, which means each life from conception is unique and worthy of constitutional protection.

Were Senator McCain to be of the same mind, he would be pro-life. As it is, he and the GOP are pro-federalism, which is not a bad thing, but frankly, at this late date, insufficient.

Thus, as I see it, it is a choice between two less than sufficient courses:

In the Baptist Sunday School I attended today, the consensus seemed to be that if God won’t judge us now, he’ll need to apologize to all those He judged in the past.

If repentance doesn’t hurry, God will either need to judge us, or bring Sodom and Gomorrah back from the dead.

And thus you admit your false witness against them. That's a start.

You mean Them, don't you?

Heh, heh.

I guess we'll both find out on the appointed day.

Good luck to you.

...the bread we break in his remembrance is His Body.

You have Holy Eucharist in your church?

I didn't know you were Catholic.

He began praising the speech to appear magnanimous, I would guess, but then proceeded to rip Obama apart based on his actions and not his words.

The Catholic Church is becoming a huge joke. And that’s exactly what Obama wants.

This was his GM moment with the Church. He dumped the CEO and the Board of Directors and now he owns it.

The more than a billion Catholics you falsely accused of worshiping Mary?

Why would I capitalize that?

This Ephesians 5?

Eph. 5:1 - NIV, NAB - in Epistle of Ignatius to the Ephesians I have become acquainted with your name, much-beloved in God, which ye have acquired by the habit of righteousness, according to the faith and love in Jesus Christ our Saviour.

I think the Students were afraid they would lose their diplomas if they acted in protest....why else would they act like mesmerized obots?

Because their actions are the fruits of the education that they received there. The way the majority of the graduating seniors handled this is just as much an indictment of Notre Dame as the invitation itself.

I was unable to watch the speech. Unexpected company... How bad was it?

Well, for starters, it was a campaign speech, not a graduation speech. But is that really a surprise?
