That's the only thing that will make an impression. But I think Jenkins is so arrogant and desirous of his 15 minutes that he is going to try to make this go ahead no matter what. His response - or non-response, actually - to everything from the bishops to committees of students indicates to me that this has now become a personal power issue for him and that unless he is stopped from the outside by a direct order (from his superiors, perhaps; where are they?) he will go ahead with it.
One of the things that really amazes me is how loudly Jenkins is announcing that, in the choice between the Church and Obama, he has chosen Obama and nothing said by anyone in the Church will have any effect on him. The fact that he is so confident makes me wonder how many other people there are like him in the upper ranks of the Church.
We were warned many times over the past 2,000 or so years, that this day would come. Seeing important church people sucking upto the Antichrist is hardly a surprise. Seeing others rise up to stop them — now THAT is a surprise that I hope continues.
Well, look... Something about this man’s title bothered me. President of a large prestigious university, and his title is only Father? I would have thought he would have been made a Monsignor at the least.
For those of you who are non-catholics, Monsignor is a largely ceremonial title, given to respected and cherished Fathers who have acheived some level of status beyond simply that of parish priest. It reflects the fact that not every great priest will become a bishop, but nevertheless many among the ranks do perform outstanding service to Our Lord and the congregation.
The fact that he had not been elevated to the title raises many questions for me. It would seem that he would receive it just to recognize his rank at the University, unless someone was standing in the way. Methinks he has made some enemies along the way.
