SOUTH BEND, Ind., May 15 /Christian Newswire/ -- Vision America President Pastor Rick Scarborough said he was sickened by what he saw when those protesting Obama's speech at Notre Dame were arrested on the campus.

"I wept when I saw my friends arrested and taken to jail," Scarborough disclosed. "They almost broke the arm of a priest who appeared to be in his 80s, by dragging him on the ground."

Scarborough, who's a Southern Baptist preacher, said he was in South Bend in solidarity with Catholics who are protesting the upcoming commencement speech at Notre Dame by the most anti-life president in history.

"Millions of Catholics who were persecuted in their countries of origin came to these shores for religious freedom," Scarborough said. "These hard-working folk built institutions like Notre Dame to educate their children and strengthen their Church."

"Now Notre Dame is honoring Barack Obama, a man Catholics and other Christians should shun, as many of the Catholic bishops have."

When asked why he wasn't arrested, Scarborough explained: "This was a Catholic demonstration, As a Baptist, I had to respect that. I did not want to intrude. At the same time, I wanted to support a group of people I'm so proud of for standing up for Judeo-Christian morality."

Goodbye Catholic University Notre Dame.

Hello, progressive, creationist, pro-abortion secular diploma mill!

[wagglebee]

Ping (this wonderful pastor is a Baptist).

This is how to do it. The old “When they came for the Jews, I said nothing because I was not Jewish ...”. Well, they’re coming for the Catholics, and Pastor Scarborough is saying something. Good for all involved in this demonstration!

You will enjoy reading this.

If these Catholics know what's good for them, they will submit to Oba Mao's State Church. After all, he won the election and that gives him the right to do anything he wants! Even a majority of Catholics voted for him, didn't they? < / sarcasm >

A preview of things to come.

Christians will be targeted for their beliefs, and intimidated into apostasy.

The left works for Satan, whether knowingly or not.

Get use to it Pastor, because it won't be long now and you will see Americans being arrested for being PATRIOTS!

Choose this day how you will serve; Will you serve unwillingly and at the biding of others while wearing the yoke of socialism or will hold true to the course of our forefathers; standing tall and serving freely? As for me I choose to SERVE MY GOD AND THE REPUBLIC!!

They can rename it the South Bend Football College.

It is past time to stop the business of divisiveness within Judeo Christian ranks, we can get back to trashing each other when the enemy we share is defeated.

I totally agree. It won’t be long before devout Catholics, Protestants, Evangelicals, Mormons and Jews will be sharing prison cells because of what we believe, we better figure out how to get along before that happens.

Perhaps now abortions can be performed there.

Abortions shouldn't be limited to unborn and partially born babies.

The right to abort should be valid until age 15. Then the 'parent' can see how the child is turning out.

And so it begins.

I saw it a couple of times on the stream we put up at AIPNEWS.com

He was carryng a large cross, which they took away from him.

When he was flat on his face with his hands restrained behind his back he began to sing the Ave Maria. The people around began to sing too. Very moving.

By the way, he has protested at the abortion mills in the past. The cops broke both his arms. He can’t even raise his hands up to touch his head. I’m sure the restraints put on him today were excruciatingly painful.

Shame upon Jenkins and his Obama-loving Leftwing moneybags.
