Right. He is an evil man who stands for many things
that are patently contrary to Christian and Roman Catholic
teaching.
Now, the idea that everyone would boycott is childish and
the post is silly.
He has a large following in the Roman Catholic community,
having received at least 50% of their vote.
He was invited: would the people who invited him and are
defending him stay home?
It is this kind of foolishness that makes us marginalized.
Like I said is is silly.

The let those who support him show up. The point of this life is the next one. You are judged on your choices because you have free will. You have to stand up and not be counted among those that support him if you truely recognize his evil.

I was once at a country club near Washington when Clinton came in for a unannounced game of golf. My party, Republicans all, rushed over to see him. I did not. I will not repress my principles to be part of the crowd.

I’ve watched Catholics walk out on anti-abortion masses. They are wrong and shouldn’t be taking communion but at least they have the integrity of their conscious.

No one expects the hangers on, the Obamaphiles, to stay home. It would be great though if all the students were real Catholics and didn’t come. The administration could sit there and listen to The One pontificate to an empty stadium. That’s not going to happen but it wouldn’t be “silly’ if it did it would be a great day for the Church in America. Like I said, not “silly”.

It's not silly at all. The University is SUPPOSED to be an entity that upholds Catholic teachings. If they wanted to invite Obama to discuss the issue, that's within the purview of their charter to educate students.

This is NOT the same thing. They are not only inviting him to speak, but are HONORING him with a degree. That's something completely different, and it SHOULD be protested.

So, you believe it’s silly to stand up for what one believes in and against what one believes is wrong!!!!!
