From the article:

The Rasmussen Reports telephone survey found that, by a 60% to 25% margin, U.S. Catholics say Notre Dame should obey guidelines issued by the U.S. bishops and refrain from awarding an honorary degree to the president. Among all Americans, 52% oppose the honor and 25% support it.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment

Obama: “If they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.”

Also from the article:

In 2004 the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops issued a statement which reads, in part: "The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions."

Yet the majority of “Catholics” voted for him. Go figure. You can’t have it both ways.

So this travesty happens this weekend?

Funny how he can decline the opportunity to attend a Catholic sponsored Prayer Breakfast but has no problem attending a Catholic (well use to be Catholic)University graduation.

Wonder what happen to all that opportunity to dialog???

They always said that the day a marxist becomes president, is the day that pigs will fly. 100 days after his inauguration... Swine Flu

(Check out my new tagline!)

and yet the offer still stands. The president of ND needs to go and NOW!

And yet Rasmussen shows Obama with a 57% approval index after going full throttle with the culture of death and socializing our economy. His stongly disapprove/strongly approve index has risen to +8. I feel like an alien in my own Country and Church. What will it take for people to turn against this guy? A total collapse of society?

Obama is going to use the ND platform to propose various things to reduce abortion, however, we have to look at what he does and not what he says.

The man’s speech is very seductive. What you hear is not what he means.

So far, he has promoted policies in embryonic stem-cell research, and promoted abortion worldwide by reversing Bush’s policy.

That’s far from pro-life.

All of the ND staff who approved this should be fired.

If Hussein had half a heart, he would see it was tearing up the school and excuse himself. He won’t because his ego won’t allow that.

Hey maybe had Catholics voted against him by the same margin this would not have happened.

Imagine if Mary, aka Notre Dame, had an abortion.

If only that percentage of Americans opposed honoring him with the Presidency.

Perhaps Notre Dame has helped educate Catholics on the sad state of many Catholic colleges especially Notre Dame. In the current issue of Catholic NY Mary Ann Glendon points out that Obama’s opposition to basic beliefs of the Catholic Church goes back to his student days at Harvard.Some HONOREE?

Very telling that Murphy failed to post this story. I seriously doubt he’ll be posting the link to this article on your homepage.

The bishops who have so far expressed disapproval of Notre Dame's invitation to Obama (in alphabetical order) are:

Current count: 68 bishops

Bishop Joseph V. Adamec - Altoona-Johnstown, PA
Statement: http://www.ajdiocese.org/documents//April_8__2009_-_Notre_Dame_University.pdf

Catholics are starting to listen to the GOOD bishops!

But when the context changes to principle over politics, and Americans are made aware that a Catholic university is violating a directive of the Catholic bishops based on moral teaching, public opinion swings against Notre Dame's action.

Which corroborates a larger principle: in any segment of population and on any issue, the better informed the sample respondents are, the more conservative their opinions become.

why this can’t be, the MSM tells us 0bama receives great support from the Catholic community (/sarc)
