Prediction: There will such an uproar the Obama thugs will convince the media that Obami had a scheduling conflict and wouldn’t have been able to make it anyway. - A “non-issue” talking point will be faxed to all from the ballerina.

...followed by a performance of The V Monologues. Can’t Rome sue to get the “Catholic” name taken off this secular place?

That’s St. Telepromptius, patron Saint of Swivelling Heads. He is very popular amongst public officials and tennis fans.

As an alumni I am outraged by this. I have just sent an email expressing this outrage and telling them that I will no longer send contributions.

i think that he’s trying to run around and catch all the college graduates (last minute indoctrination attempt) before they get out into the real world and see how much in taxes they have to pay and get pi**ed off.

Contact the Bishop of Ft. Wayne - South Bend. See contact info upthread. He has immediate jurisdiction, and should be encouraged to “teach, sanctify, and govern” appropriately ...

This should not be allowed to happen if ND is to keep its “Catholic” designation.

So .... you're scandalised by this.

Good. You should be.

Now ... are you going to just sit there and engage in a sanctimonious, self-righteous BMW session, or are you going to do something about it?

Contact the Bishop. Tell him what you've told us. Be polite and reasoned, but be abundantly clear.

Sorry, but I never go to the religion section so it must have appeared on the forum area and I just assumed it was a regular thread.

Well I’m not a Catholic and really don’t care how they run their church. But I have been asked several times tio join the Catholic Church and it’s things like this that make it impossible for me to do.

But I know a lot of Catholics, matter of fact my daughter and her kids are.

Bishop Martino? Bishop D'Arcy is the Bishop there. Last time they invited someone of the same ilk. He did not attend. But Notre Dame is not under his actual purview. That would be the Sacred Heart Order.

Thanks, I’m just a little outraged at this very type of selling out.

I mean how can in one hand they say don’t su[pport abortion and then say welcome to this abortionist-in-chief?
