“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.
Great analysis.
I posted your comments on AIPNEWS. You hit the nail directly on the head.

Yeah, I was thinking the guy is just plain evil, but your words are much more eloquent to fit the academic setting.
