NOTRE DAME, Indiana, April 17, 2009 - Notre Dame's own Bishop John D'Arcy has expressed a desire to attend "prayerful and dignified" demonstrations led by Notre Dame students against the school's honoring of President Obama on May 17, according to reports.
Bishop D'Arcy's latest statement on his support for peaceful demonstrations clarifies once again an April 10 statement in which the bishop urged protesters "to stay away from unseemly and unhelpful demonstrations against our nation's president or Notre Dame or Father John I. Jenkins."
While construed by several media outlets as a condemnation of all protests, the diocese's communications director told LifeSiteNews.com Tuesday that the bishop is only opposed to "demonstrations that attack the President, Fr. Jenkins or Notre Dame," and said that, "A peaceful, prayerful demonstration is okay." (http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2009/apr/09041404.html)
The American Papist blog posted correspondence yesterday from Fort Wayne-South Bend Bishop John D'Arcy's secretary indicating that the Bishop had spoken to Notre Dame Response leader Mary Daly to affirm his support for the group's efforts against the invitation.
"I am supportive of all efforts by NDResponse or any other prayerful and dignified demonstrations by Notre Dame students; and if my schedule allows, I will attend and also meet with students if they would find this helpful," said the Bishop.

That was stunning. Michael Voris is my new hero! We could use a few like him in Congress.
Thank you and BTTT
I am not sorry for the frank language in the video. I believe that Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezechiel and Daniel (the Bible's frank-language Good Guys) would have no problem with telling it like it is.
You are cordially invited to sign the UNINVITE OBAMA PETITION, which now has a phenomenal 326,592 signatures (click the link, sign up and send it to everybody in your Address Book!) ...And click this, a BIG, BIG PROTEST IS A-COMIN' which stirs my activist imagination and makes me think Obama is gonna unite us after all :o)

Hmm. I was going to say “For Obama, *dialog* with America’s enemies starts with self-accusation and self-abasement” -— but that’s not quite right, because Obama doesn’t “identify” with America and therefore the accusation and abasement isn’t directed against “himself,” it’s directed against all other Americans, with the exception of certain stipulated victim classes.
Could be merely be acting?
Could be.
A marionette, perhaps.
427,304 now!

I wonder if the 54% of the Catholic voters who helped elect Obama care one way or another about what is happening at ND. I have yet to meet one of the 54% who regrets their choice of POTUS.
Big Bump!
Thanks for the ping/links. I hadn’t seen that video. Sending it to all my email contacts.
