"I think that may be one of the redeeming results of this is that it's going to kind of wake Catholics up," he added.

Please let this be true.

Perhaps if the Catholic clergy started acting like Catholics, the church attendance wouldn’t be down there with the protestant sects that have suffered the same liberal cancer.

I’ll rejoin the church of my youth when it ditches the libidiots and gets back to some logic and morality.

Notre Dame a CINO college...Catholic In Name Only.

I wonder why University President Fr. John Jenkins is so intent on going thru with this ? Who’s telling Him that this was or is a good idea ?

As an ex-Catholic, I was hoping salvation by grace and not by works would have woken them up.

Having attended, father, brother and two sons also attended....I can tell you that's not true. Sure the guy that leads the place made a terrible decision, but you are lumping all of us in that camp. Don't.

wrong thread.

best way is to mash the report abuse and nicely ask the nice mods to take it down for you

"Nicholson also conjectured that the honor might have been a political move on the part of Obama to ingratiate himself with the Catholic community in the wake of his anti-life agenda. "You know, there's 70 million Catholics in this country, and 55 percent of those that have voted for President Obama, and he's done nothing since he's been president but to stick it right into their eye, and I think frankly that he may have asked Notre Dame for this venue to speak to this commencement," he said""

Maybe ND's president could lead a few rounds of "We have no king but Caesar!"

I’d better his family is well into ‘they-can’t-push-us-around mode.” I think they would even welcome a “decoupling” with Catholicism so they can join the “big leagues” with Harvard , Yale, and Berkeley.

No we don’t put you in the same camp. Stand up and give the University ‘WHAT FOR’ as alums.

Notre Dame Scandal Will "Wake Catholics Up"

Only the real Catholics

It’s becoming very murky what Catholicism means anymore. There is a deep vein of mush-minded liberalism and pop-psychology as a result of decades of accepting mediocre intelligence in seminarians. Add in rampant homosexuality and it’s a disaster. I won’t associate with socialists so I stopped going to church a long time ago. They have re-defined “love your neighbor” to “love the government, and let it worry about your neighbor”. Cafeteria-style Catholicism even condones the horror of abortion. The rot is pervasive and deep.

No word from the shepherds in Boston or New Hampshire; I wonder why that is?
