The head of Holy Cross, Fr. Cleary, thinks it would be up to the bishops. Or at least that’s what he says. The bishops seem to say that it’s up to Holy cross. So it’s perfect cover for everybody. Just write to ‘em all I reckon.
I think this would be solved very quickly 500 years ago.

enkins put himself in a pickle here and it is just like the political folks in the CSC to let him squirm and then perhaps call for his ouster behind the scenes when his 6 year term is up. There is a lot of stuff going on behind the scenes. The university is trying desperately to make this look like Obama was a fool to ask to come to Notre Dame to speak, that the university was gracious in granting his request and now will have the Laetare Medal speaker give a pro life speech immediately preceeding Obama's speech. They are foolishly hoping this will embarrass Obama. Meanwhile, the students don't mind Obama coming (70% approx in favor) and the alums do (70% against). This is a mess of Jenkins doing and I can see the political CSCs plotting his demise.
