Notre Dame honors Obama, dishonors all that is good - PROTEST LIVE THREAD, May 17, 2009

Yes EV. It reminded me of Alan Keyes hands tied behind his back. Fr Norm Weslin, Lt. Col for 20 yrs in the US Army, has had the same thing done to him 70 times and much worse. Perhaps a glimpse into the future, not by Islamists but our own government.

Offer at Mass ping.

Abortion: killing God’s children...

lol

“Those police/security personnel ought to be ashamed of themselves...”we were only following orders...””

Yes! Fr Weslin has said in the past that some “family type police” were great while others were “only following orders” when they roughed him up - he’s had his arms broken in the past.

*

Let us not forget that almost every week we hear of a child that is murdered by their parents or kidnapped and murdered. Husbands and boyfriends murdering their wife or girlfriend because they don’t want them to have a baby. Parents giving drugs to their children it just goes on and on. Once a child is considered waste they are no longer sacred. Once God’s gift now a punishment. But let us not forget all of this is so that sex can be with whoever and whenever,just do it mentality. Get pregnant,just kill it.

amen amen

The pictures are profound. It is breaking my heart— Christian persecution, media bias and fearless Christians.

Bishop Donald Trautman - Erie, PA

Bishop's Trautman's statement

Unfortunately they are not showing up in SB.

By the way, according to reporters in South Bend, Notre Dame threatened to cut the feed of any news organization that pointed a camera at anyone expressing any protest of this scandalous travesty.

OBAMA KILLS BABIES

My husband and I feel the same way. The very first Christians,leaders of the church from the beginning died for their faith!!! Today the leaders have lost their moral courage or just plain lost their faith. May God give them the gift of the fear of the Lord to make things right. I am so sick to death of this PC attitude when it comes to morals and courage to stand firm on the gospel.

Hearing the President speak is one thing...

No, it's still an abomination. Everything he believes in is against the Church so inviting him to speak is an insult to the Church. How dare they condone his message. If he was man enough, he would have acknowledged the problem and stepped down. But no, he isn't man enough. He's too egotistical to care about others. If everything he's done in the last few months hasn't proven what he is, then this one act alone should.

Good point!!
I was going to re run the picture but it has been taken off of photobucket......
