The most accomplished Catholic laywoman in America — former ambassador of the United States to the Holy See and current president of the Pontifical Academy of Social Sciences — has refused to accept Notre Dame’s highest honor. It is a signal moment for the Catholic Church in the United States. It is a signal moment for the Church’s public witness. It is may even be a signal moment for Notre Dame. What Glendon will not say at Notre Dame will finally be a fitting response to what Gov. Mario Cuomo said there some 25 years ago. Integrity at work!

Father Jenkins thought he had figured it out; Mary Ann Glendon would get the Laetare Medal. Glendon was deserving of the medal, far more deserving in fact than most who had already achieved it. There was no doubt about that. This year would be perfect. She would be on stage with her former student at Harvard, Barack Obama, and she would give Notre Dame cover. See how broad-minded Notre Dame is? Both points of view on stage at the same time! Glendon has now reminded Father Jenkins and Notre Dame that it is not broad-minded at all to give succor to both sides of a debate on matters of fundamental justice.********************
This is by far the best article I have yet seen regarding this issue.
Really excellent analysis.

Harvard Law, the other center of “deliberate confusion, ambiguity” and “equivocation” if the story can be believed.
To: trisham; NYer
Yes, it is excellent. It shows you how far back ND’s grand tradition of disobedience and scorn for the Magisterium goes. It’s interesting that the bishops are finally beginning to stand up and do their duty - even the late great Cdl O’Connor was apparently cowed by ND. Naturally, that just emboldened the ND dissident faction, who unfortunately were the people running the university.

Perhaps the extremism of this new administration is finally forcing them to face the truth.
Only a blind man could not see in which direction we are traveling.

Really excellent analysis. It puts EVERYTHING into perspective, all the way back to Mario Cuomo. All these years we have pondered how Catholics slid down the slope ... now we have the full picture.
This is a keeper! Bookmarking it for the future.

It needs as far a distribution as possible. The historical perspective of this analysis is truly remarkable. Bumping it along.

I join Salvation in his opinion. Mary Ann Glendon is a true soldier of Christ!

I believe you will find this analysis quite illuminating, especially from an historic perspective.

Self-ping for careful reading later. What a long history of treachery!
