He needs the fake law diploma to balance out the fake birth certificate.
Good .. God bless you. It’s so disgusting
to witness this.
This is the answer. Oh, so what. The school can go to he!! as far as I care. Yes, institutions of lower learning. & the fish stinks from the head.
Visiting priests from other dioceses, for instance, are not supposed to say Mass without the local Bishop's permission. This is not an insult to visiting priests. I can't have a priest buddy say Mass in my garage; not without the bishop's permission. And this is not an insult to my garage. It's just an acknowledgment of the local bishop's jurisdiction.
If the ND leadership goes into a mode of direct defiance by rejecting both the USCCB requirement AND the local bishop's order that such people as Obama must not be honored, ND as an institution has become outlaw.
That doesn't mean evrybody in it is excommunicated or damned or any such thing; it just means when they go to Mass, they must go to Mass in an authorized place, because Masses on campus are no longer authorized.
The good thing about withdrawing permission for Mass on campus is that nobody is deprived of the Sacraments; only a place is restricted.
No punishment for an individual.
But a clear-as-daylight that ND as an institution has incurred due penalty for direct defiance of lawfully constituted authority.
I thought the whole Life thing was above his pay grade.

Obie tries to make buddies with Iran. They say, “Screw you.”
ND tries to make buddies with Obie. He’ll say, “Screw you.”
I can't get thru to you, so don't reply...OK?

FReep the links above!
Randy Terry's opening an office in South Bend.
And Joe Scheidler/Prolife Action League is on it like a duck on a junebug. Quote from his site:
"If Notre Dame does not disinvite Obama, Scheidler says, the Notre Dame campus can expect a massive pro-life protest on graduation day, including the use of large, graphic abortion pictures that show exactly what Barack Obama supports."
Looks like a high percentage of active ingredients.

Papal Smiley.
The only problem with all this is that Bishop D’Arcy does not have any direct control over ND. He can suggest, he can refuse to attend, which he has in the past, but he can’t make them stop. ND is run by the Holy Cross Order.
At the same time, it woiuld be a powerful force putting other powerful forces in motion, resulting in a crisis that could well blindside the secular faction. And what we need more than anything else, is a salutary crisis. Business as usual will kill us. Kill us. Here and hereafter.
Meanwhile, would the word "interdict" enable the forces of secular hegemony turn our good Bishop D'Arcy into a Torquemada in the eyes of the Secular Press? Well, they would do that no matter what D'Arcy did, especially if it were effective. Let me repeat that idea: anything he does will turn him into "Torquemada," to exactly the degree that he is effective. We can't be checkmated by that.
But ---- really ---would the secular hegemons give flying figs whether Masses were moved off-campus? What I have in mind is that the honoring of Moloch-Obama ---and the open defiance of the USCCB in one of its (few) really worthwhile rulings --- is already desecrating Notre Dame, and interdict would recognize that fact.
Just the threat of it would be a powerful tocsin to arouse the faithful. It's a bishop's way of saying: this is serious as hell.
And the secular folk --- what could they object to, credibly? They're not worried about where they're goingto Mass! It's not like D'Arcy were messing with something sacred to them...
What matters is not what the academic canonists say. What matters is that the earth shakes under their feet.
A bishop is called to be a successor to the Apostles. Not like a scribe.
