He should be on his knees begging for forgiveness.

I cannot believe he has the lack of humility to actually go to the March for Life.
He is an out an out fraud.
He is such a hypocrite.
Jesus said: “Since you are neither hot nor cold, I will vomit you out of my mouth.”
This verse applies well to Jenkins.
He sounds like obama - he created the problem, and then acts as if he had nothing to do with it. What a poser!!!
There’s just no other way to put it: Jenkins is a schmuck.
It's against my character, yet I wish noting but ill-will toward the sullied University of Notre Dame.
The sheer gall of the man. He has done as much as any Catholic to damage the pro-life cause.
You're being to kind, he's a modern-day Judas.
Hypocrite.
He is lying to the students. he says he can’t do anything when the thing is that he doesn’t WANT to do anything. The 88 did something that few academic wills do, which is to DO something. They shamed him and he won’t forget it.
I forgot to ping you to this.
Frankly, he has no business at a pro-life march until he withdraws charges against the ND protestors and publicly repents and apologizes for inviting the Abortionist in Chief to Notre Dame for an undeserved honorary doctorate of law.
A doctorate of law? Obama has never done any significant legal work. And although he was in academia for ten years, he never wrote a single legal article.
And what he taught his students was shameful. He deserved a doctorate of law like he deserved the Nobel Peace Prize. That is entirely aside from the abortion issue, which was, of course, central.
I agree. His appearance at the march wasn't penance, it was validation of his sins.
I wrote a letter about what Jenkins actually aided and abetted last May:
President Obama spoke at the University of Notre Dame on May 17th, saying that all he wanted in the debate about abortion was that the words used in the discussion be fair minded. Fair minded sounds like such a nice phrase. But how does one speak of an unspeakable evil in a fair minded way?
Can we speak of slavery in a fair minded way? Shall we talk about child abuse in a fair minded way? Can we discuss the Jewish Holocaust in fair minded words? Can we discuss segregation and racial discrimination in a fair minded way?
Only a simpleton or a charlatan would try to discuss evil in a fair minded way. Because evil is wrong, it must be opposed, not coddled, not accepted, not minimized.
President Obama already has a track record on abortion. His actions show that, through his support of partial birth abortion, abortion on demand, taxpayer funding of abortion, and infanticide, he has dismissed any fair minded discussion out of hand. He has overturned the Mexico City policy so that every American taxpayer now pays for abortion on demand around the world, regardless of whether a person is opposed to abortion. He has stated and promised to Planned Parenthood that he will pass the Freedom of Choice Act, which would overturn all State abortion laws and allow abortions with no restrictions whatsoever, and paid for by their fellow citizens. Sound fair minded to you?
He says abortion should be made more rare. Why? If something is good, why would he want less of it? If something must be lessened, then obviously it is not desirable. The words sound fair minded, but they mask the disingenuous meaning of the idea. And his actions to date will only increase the number of abortions, not make them rarer.
He also supports embryonic stem cell research. This research kills a unique human being, a unique combination of human DNA. Thirty years of private research has shown that there is not one cure that results from embryonic stem cells, because these cells are so unstable. Adult stem cells are stable, and have been used in cures for over 70 diseases. Adult stem cell use does not result in the killing of a human embryo, which biologically is a human being.
So, how many embryonic children are to be killed in order to supposedly cure another child with juvenile diabetes, as the President suggested at Notre Dame? What number is appropriate, Mr. President? Especially for a cure that is a lie, Mr. President?
Abortion is evil. It kills an unborn child, by the most violent and painful means imaginable. We would not allow a dog or a cat to be killed in such a barbaric, inhumane manner. Shall we be fair minded and be all upset by the alleged torture of enemies, but remain silent about the torture visited on innocent babies over one million times a year in our own country?
With over sixty million abortions since 1973, have we yet sacrificed enough of our future, ignored enough the suffering of women who have aborted their children, or impoverished our nation enough from the loss of the beauty and uniqueness of those murdered children, or of their possible contributions to our nation?
Both Catholic and Christian teaching from the Bible is clear. Innocent blood is never to be shed. There is no compromise with such evil. We cannot decry the Jewish Holocaust, damn the institution of slavery, cry out against the abuse of children, or march in defiance of racial discrimination, and then ignore the murder of innocent children in our own land. Fair minded people understand why.
Excellent post!
Nobody was running around two centuries ago saying they wanted slavery to be “safe and legal and rare”.
