SHAME on the University of Notre Dame, and, more precisely, shame on its president, the Reverend John I. Jenkins, who has invited the most pro abortion politician in the land to deliver the commencement address to the 2009 graduates of this catholic university. Barack Obama will not only address the 2009 graduates, he will also receive an honorary Doctor of Laws degree from the university. This is all too much for literally thousands of supporters of Notre Dame, and much has been written about what real catholics think about this turn of events. A petition drive has been mounted, but it appears unlikely that anything will sway the man who made the decision to "choose" prestige over principle. The fact that the man chosen for this honor was a sponsor, when still a member of the U.S. Senate, of the Freedom of Choice Act (please google it) should be enough to disqualify him for any honor bequeathed by any catholic organization, let alone its flagship university in the United States. It has always been my contention that the best men seldom rise to the top, and the Reverend John I. Jenkins is a perfect example. In a country, contrary to popular belief, brimming with learned and holy members of the catholic clergy, how in the world did we end up with Jenkins as the president of the University of Our Lady? When I first saw the following videos, I thought they were something Barack Obama should be asked to watch and comment on, but since the now infamous decision by the Reverend Jenkins I think he, Jenkins, should be asked to watch them, and then explain why a man completely at odds with the catholic position on the destruction of the unborn should be honored by Notre Dame.
