Good for her. A little piece of metal from an overvalued school is not worth abandoning deeply held beliefs.

When asked, Mary Ann Glendon said “Who the hell is PurpleMan?”

It is not important that few people know her.

Name recognition counts for little compared to principles.

I equate her with with someone else who was unknown to the masses until they dared to question the Messiah.

It doesn’t take heroics to be a household name (like Joe or Mary Ann) anymore then being “known” makes you worthwhile...think Scott Peterson, Ted Bundy, Adolf Hitler.

You might want to familiarize yourself with what the Blessed Mother; Notre Dame, had to say to Jacinta in Lisbon about immodest dress and get yourself a clue.

I take it that it's a pic of Miss California who stood up for principle? The photo was not labelled and I didn't recognize her.

In this case, I take back everything I said.....I guess.....LOL.

LOL It's posts like yours, Cunningham, that make FR such a good read.

Catholic League president Bill Donohue responded as follows:

“Mary Ann Glendon is a friend and a member of the Catholic League’s board of advisors. As usual, she made the right choice. The decision by Father Jenkins to honor a man who is the hero of Planned Parenthood is delinquent enough, but the ultimate insult was the specious moral reasoning used to justify it. Playing off Glendon against Obama—as if her legitimate presence legitimates his illegitimate presence—is simply outrageous.

“If Father Jenkins thinks it is important for President Obama to learn from Professor Glendon, then let him audit one of her classes. Alternatively, she can send him a tape.”

Hey Leni, I didn’t know who she was either and was puzzled by the bikini picture. Makes sense now.

Speaking of clues, ever think how tough it would be to hold a beauty pageant in burkhas?

Good for her. Odds are she is a self-made women who doesn’t need a hollow award given by a phony institution.

If you had a sense of humor, you would understand that I was already aware of this, and was making light of and celebrating the diversity between different peoples of the same faith. Don't get all high and mighty with me.

I'll bet you money the former ambassador would not take offense at my post if she were to see it... She might even crack a smile.
