Obama invoked both crackpot modernists, Hesburgh and Bernardin for his version of "seamless garment" liberation theology, minus the sanctity of life.

It was the usual appeal to moral relativism as the supposed higher ground. Then there was the very unfortune slur, the president's reference to "parochial" views. This is ALWAYS code for an anti-Catholic dig. Suggesting "parochial" views are in conflict with a higher ground of "universal" moral relativism.

Jenkins' hysterial speech praising Obama was disgraceful. One of the most disgraceful and shameful moments in Catholic intellectual history and the postconciliar period. It's clear Jenkins' is an hysterical supporter of Obama and shameless liberal. This was absurd from the Stockholm Syndrome valedictorian to the hysterical cheering for Obama.

One moment of great irony: As Obama started his spin on relativism for abortion you could hear a baby crying in the audience on the Fox News feed.

Very well said.

I am literally sick about this. I kept hoping, until the very last moment, that it wouldn’t happen. But it did, and things won’t be the same for the Church anymore after this.

Excellent review of the speech.

What is the deal with Hespurgh? Obama made him out to be a modern Socrates.

And I would appreciate you taking the time to explain the “seamless garment” liberation theology comment—I’d like to know more.

Thanks.

Thanks for the color commentary. I did not watch it. I recorded it and might put it and the weekend's highlights on a disc to keep a record.

There are 12 fellows that control ND. 6 laymen 6 clerics. 1 is Jenkins and 1 is the Bishop of Peoria, IL, Daniel R. Jenky

I don't see his name among those who opposed. I think most if not all 12 fellows need to be severely punished.

And nobody expects the Spanish Inquisition. Might be time to bring forth the Comfy Chair.

Thank you. I skipped the whole thing in protest and in the interest of not developing a huge drinking problem.

Invoking Bernardin certainly isn't going to win the hearts of orthodox Catholics. Even JPII waited until he died to get things done. Bernardin...well, let's just say I'm NOT a fan.
