.- The President of Trinity University, Patricia McGuire, who at the school's Sunday commencement described pro-life critics of Notre Dame's decision to honor President Obama as "Catholic vigilantes” and "grand inquisitors," pointed to the pro-abortion politicians Nancy Pelosi and Kathleen Sebelius as good examples of the education provided by the Catholic university.
During her remarks at the Senior Luncheon on May 15, McGuire told the graduates of the Catholic university that "you will have a stunning opportunity to take a public leadership position that will also test your courage and conviction in ways you cannot imagine right now." "When she sat in this very dining hall 47 years ago, I’m quite sure that Nancy D’Alesandro didn’t imagine that she’d be Speaker Pelosi, one of the most important political figures at this moment in our national history. When she sat here 39 years ago, I’m sure that Kathleen Gilligan never imagined that one day she’d be called Secretary Sebelius at Health and Human Services," McGuire surmised.
According to the Trinity University president, "what motivated each of these Trinity leaders was a passion to make a difference in the public square. I’m sure that each, on a daily basis, has had to deal with issues they never learned about here at Trinity --reform of the health care system, the need to bailout the banks, the challenge of restarting the economy, the perilous condition of social security, the use of torture as a covert national policy, the future of the Supreme Court, the acute and sustained pressures from both right and left to develop law and policy over the central issues of the beginning and ending of life itself."
"How do Nancy and Kathleen and our other graduates know how to work through these hugely complicated issues?" McGuire asked.
"The whole point of a Trinity education is NOT that you leave here on graduation day with all of the answers. Of course not. The whole purpose of this great educational enterprise is that you will know how to analyze the questions, recognize the questions that you must ask without apology; that you will know how to distinguish the truth from mere puffery or outright deceit; that you will have the courage to be the voice that shouts out when all others are silent."
"You will not always be right; you will make mistakes. But mistakes are the risk of a life of action; you are called to the life of action, of advocacy, of assertive leadership on behalf of your families, communities and nation," McGuire said.

Patricia MacGuire is a socialist.
The Vatican could have nipped this whole Notre Dame abortion school thing in the bud and leftists in the liberal American Catholic Church.
Obama wants the Catholic Church to be like Dr. Rowan Williams the head of the UK Anglican Church who fans over Islam, baby killing, sharia law.
further evidence that Obama and his ilk have successfully hijacked many American Catholic leaderships and influences. What a battle we’re in for
Nope, she dreamed of marrying Vinnie "The Vice" Vicerrico in the Baltimore that her old man, the mayor, ruled and become a rising spousal star in his Mob. She had to settle for the Democrat party when the mafia lost the lucrative garbage cartel to it.
American Catholic leadership was captured by the left decades ago,
Well that ought to be a red flag for Catholic parents. Save your money and send them to smaller private colleges instead.
He only settled for the Anglicans after advisers on the teleprompter told him the Right Rev. Vickie Gene Robinson's Episcopal Church, believe it or not, was too liberal for his philosophical bent.
Follow me, I will lead you to H*ll.
Pelosi and Sebelius are examples?
If that’s what they have to brag about...I’d hate to see their dregs.
“...on behalf of your families, communities and nation,” McGuire said.”
Hmm...she left out the most important one whom Christians should serve. “Whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.” I Corinthians 10:31
Maybe the scum at Notre Dame can hire (Not) Right Rev. Gene Robisnon to teach a class on the scriptures and gay sex. The scum school Notre Dame would love it. Maybe they could have a chapter on baby killing. Notre Dame - a tradiotion of loving abortionists.
We probably have ;-)
As a Kansan, I was very happy to be rid of Sebelius. The new Governor, even though he is a turncoat party changer, took exactly one day to rectify two of the state’s biggest problems, which Sebelius had been unwilling to solve during all her years as Governor. She’s Obama’s problem now. Plus, Tiller the baby-killer has lost his biggest booster.
“Catholic vigilantes” and “grand inquisitors”??? That’s all? Well, that’s lame. Try Catholic Talibans :-D
