Tim Kaine is a Georgetown graduate, but he and other pro-choice Catholic politicians owe much to Notre Dame. As Matthew Franck has observed in First Things, Mario Cuomos 1984 personally opposed but wont impose speech at the university was a watershed moment for pro-choice apologists. Notre Dames gift to Cuomo of a high-visibility platform and an enthusiastic audience seemed to stamp nihil obstat on his argument. (Despite, as Dr. Franck explained, the crashing ineptitude of Cuomos rationale.)
Then a couple of months ago, just in time for Senator Kaines campaign on a ticket with the most radical pro-abortion platform in history, Notre Dame gave a boost to the Cuomo model of dissenting-but-faithful Catholic politician. At its Commencement, the University awarded the Laetare Medal, which it describes as The Most Prestigious Award Given to American Catholics, to Vice President Joe Biden and Speaker John Boehner. The award is given for outstanding service to Church and society.

Apparently the University of Notre Dame, Cuomo, Kaine, Biden, Boehner, and others are unaware that the first human to acknowledge the presence on Jesus on earth was an unborn child.
Luke 1:41 "When Elizabeth heard Marys greeting, the infant leaped in her womb"...
Can these people call themselves Catholic when they permit the killing of the unborn? They may be racists because most aborted babies are black.
Instead they fancy themselves as good because they are "saving money" by getting rid of people before they have to take care of them per their socialistic ways.
I wonder where the University of Dayton stands on this issue, especially for being a Marianist university. They tend to get a fair amount of the folks that Notre Dame rejects.
The phrases “devout Catholic” and “good Catholic” have zero meaning today. Pope Jorge the Red is a “devout Catholic.” The real and only measure as to whether or not you are walking with God is to follow the Bible and Jesus Christ.
Note: it appears the First Things article excerpt posted on Free Republic either was incorrect in having “Georgetown” in the first line, or that “Georgetown” has been (correctly) replaced” by “Harvard Law School” in the First Things article itself, to which the post links.
They changed it at the source; it said “Georgetown” when I read it around 6:00 a.m. Just a tiny whoops there.
If the Catholic Church had a real Pope instead of a heretic Notre Dame would be stripped of its Catholic name. It’s just another left-lib academic cesspool.
(Unless they are yet unborn...)
Are you still killing your unborn? -- GOD |
They have brought the curse of the Obambino on themselves when they gave Obama an honorary JD and prosecuted 82 protesters including 3 Catholic priests - 2 Holy Cross Father - the order that staffs ND. Father Jenkins is a leftist who has destroyed the Catholic identity of a once great school. I always only watch them play anything to see them lose.
