Notre Dame students plan walkout during Mike Pence Sunday commencement speech

When Vice President Mike Pence delivers the commencement speech at Notre Dame on Sunday, he'll likely speak to fewer people than he expected.

Some students at the Catholic university plan to walk out of the speech as part of a protest against Pence and his policies, which they say target marginalized people on the basis of their religion, skin color or sexual orientation, according to the student activist group We Stand For.

Luis Miranda, a co-organizer of the walkout, said Pence, as Indiana governor and as vice president, targeted vulnerable people with his policies. Catholic values promote standing up for the poor and marginalized, so he plans to stand up on Sunday, literally.

Miranda said some of his family members are undocumented immigrants and have felt under siege by the Trump administration's crackdown on immigration. "They are going to be in the audience in one of the most important moments of my life with someone targeting them for who they are," he said.

The plan, according to a Facebook event, is to stand up when Pence begins speaking, walk toward the exit quietly, and, of course, live tweet the protest under the #WalkoutND hashtag.

As of Thursday afternoon, about 75 people had signed up to participate in the walkout.

"This is not just about the numbers, but about standing up for truth," Miranda said. "We feel that there is power in truth and hopefully there will be power in numbers that come stand up with us."

Yes this is the same college that honored Obama while having a 80 year old priest arrested for protesting Obama by praying the Rosary. Norte Dame hasn’t been a Catholic college in years

Remember - Notre Dame arrested an 80 year old priest .

I’ve seen this video before. It’s a tough one to view, but Our Lady is so very proud of this priest, I can almost see her tears.
She wants desperately for Her University to pull through, and it’s because of Mary that I keep praying too.
Catholic Priests persecuted at Notre Dame while abortion supporting Marxist honored.....
While a pro-abortion fanatic ( Obama ) makes a mockery of Christian doctrine by speaking and collecting honors at supposedly Catholic Notre Dame, a priest named Norman Weslin was given a less enthusiastic reception:

I am re-directing my prayers, and am asking God to move the faithful in the Catholic church to do some house-cleaning at Notre Dame. One good thing that has come from this is the exposure of how far from the Faith the college president & faculty have strayed. They should NOT be at a Catholic university

Not only that but Fr Jenkins doubled down by saying he would do it again.

We Are Tremendously Proud” to Honor Obama at Notre Dame Said Jenkins.
What a vile hypocrite this pharisee

It was tough watching. As a Catholic, I was deeply embarrassed and ashamed by what I saw and heard.

Particularly ND’s president fawning, gushing, and drooling in near hysteria over Obama.

Cut out your anti-Catholic bigotry. Your epithet is a slur against the mother of God, Mary Most Holy.

I am a proud Notre Dame alumnus. I despise creeps like Luis; however, Luis is not the core problem—the fake priest who is the president of ND is the core problem, along with the secular humanist who leads the Board of Trustees.

Luis, here are some Catholic values that you ought to learn.

1. Abortion is murder.
2. Sodomy is one of the four crimes which cry out for punishment.
3. Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s goods.
4. It is impossible to be both a believing Catholic and a sincere socialist (Pope Pius XI).
5. Don’t be so open minded as to have your brains fall out (Abp. Fulton J. Sheen).

Yehova has no mother.

There is not nor ever will be anything “female” in the kingdom of Heaven. Female is a biological feature of Earth, and nowhere else.

There is no mother of God, that is an ancient pagan title for Semiramis, the harlot wife of Nimrod. She was also known as “Queen of Heaven.”

The name of the university is a lie at its basis.

Mary was/is not “our Lady,” she was the devoted wife of Joseph, and the mother of at least 6 sons and many daughters, according to the plain words in the gospels.

One has to declare the authors of the gospels to be fools, liars, and/or imbeciles to make anything else of their clear comments.

I have no argument with your “values.”
