Catholicism verses Father Jenkins

Lest you don't know who Father Jenkins is, he is the president of Notre Dame. He is the priest who invited the most pro-abortion president this country has ever elected to be the commencement speaker and receive an honorary doctorate.

Wow! It's one thing to invite the president, if it was a debate. Although inviting a pro-abortion president to debate to a university named after the Mother of God, would be questionable. It is quite another to have him speak at a commencement ceremony and receive an honorary doctorate. I think Obama is licking his chops. There is no difference here, between this and the clergy of England, during Henry the VIII, who betrayed their Catholicism in order to placate the temporal King.

Wow! Father Jenkins remains, in spite of petitions signed by more than 225,000 individuals from the Cardinal Neuman Society and public statements from his fellow Bishops, adamant in his decision. I wonder who Father Jenkins voted for?

Bishop Myers said, "If the president of Notre Dame University truly wishes to show that his institution is rooted in Catholic teaching and tradition, and committed to the gospel of Jesus Christ, he must underscore this message at commencement plainly and clearly, and invite everyone to embrace an all inclusive reverence for life."
 
Wow! If I were Father Jenkins, I would never insult the Mother of God. Insulting someone's mother always has repercussions with the Son and his family.
