A shameful, digraceful act by a University administration that should have held fast to the highest standards of defending innocent life.


OBAMA & DISHONOR AT NOTRE DAME

IOW, just listen to the teleprompter and ignore what the man actually does

More pied piping from Obummer’s piehole to get abortion kicked way down the priority list in favor of, say, the living quality of illegal Mexican immigrants.

According to Father Jenkins, nothing is “unspeakable” because what matters is that we have a “dialogue,” even though “Difference must be acknowledged, and in some cases even cherished.”

How very Screwtapean!

The Second Vatican Council defines abortion as an “unspeakable crime.”

Considering that abortion is the most talked about subject on this forum, unspeakable is the last thing it is.

I don’t think that the Church can afford to let Obama win this one.

At the very least, Jenkins has got to go.

No, they have no direct way of firing him. But they have to figure out some way of dealing with this, or it will fester and get worse.

Notre Shame.

Makes me glad I'm not Roman Catholic.

He'd never have spoken at my church.

I can’t believe the attitudes here.

We won.

Yes, obama spoke, but because he did, millions, really tens of millions, heard the message.

Obama lost, we won and it was a decisive victory.

The lack of discernment of the church that once could sell indulgences for its own profit is revealed once again.

To the Roman Catholics on this board -- I beg you, PLEASE take back your church and reunite it with the Bride of Christ!

"Amazingly, he (Fr. Jenkins) praised Obama’s supposed courage in coming to a place that showered him with applause, that vigorously arrested all pro-life demonstrators coming onto campus, and that provided him with a photo opportunity more effective than millions of dollars spent on campaign ads in demonstrating to Catholics that they need not worry about a candidate’s support for abortion in deciding how to vote"

Makes one wonder which side is Father Jenkins on.

My heart truly breaks for all Catholics who are true to their faith, and for Christians everywhere. It is a blow to us all and an insult. Dialogue, indeed.

You know something? I’m tired of this whole chit chat. I understand that the Vatican has said nothing on this. They have stayed out of it.

As far as I’m concerned ND and half of the catholic churches in this country are about money and power.

There are dedicated Catholic followers out there, who apparently hear and see no evil here.

In summary, I think Catholics need to look at themselves. What was the final count of people protesting and not going to the commencement? Did it amount to more than a handfull of people?

This country is not the same country in was ten or twenty or thirty years ago. We are seeing its demise before our eyes folks....

One word says it all...Apathy...

Fathr Jenkins must be removed if Notre Dame is to remain a Catholic College.

What happens next matters.

This could be a teaching moment.
