Consider the Obama administration's arrogant assault on religious freedom. The University of Notre Dame and Fr. Jenkins can find ways to redeem themselves. For starters, they can invite Cardinal Timothy Dolan as the next commencement speaker! - Dr. Ed Gamboa Sat, 31 Mar 2012 07:46:39 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/is-obama-worth-a-mass.html#comment-2293 I thoroughly agree with Prof.McInery's statement. Abortion is homicide. Why on earth human rights begin to exist ONLY after birth and not after conception? Is it because there is a conflict with another human being, the mother? But then are we not to protect the rigths of the weaker?

Sorry, Jeff, it's a "moral" position. Of what benefit is concern for the "needy" to those who are killed before they are born? I don't recall a commandment that reads: "Thou shalt not kill except nanies still in the womb." - Hap Corbett Mon, 06 Jul 2009 19:50:51 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/is-obama-worth-a-mass.html#comment-1858 What my heart sees here: Words and feelings not dissimilar to the Catholic response to Galileo' Copernican arguments... a very Un-Catholic and unholy response based on false assumptions. Test it yourselves, brothers and sisters, against the Virtues. Where is the Humility? Temperance? And even if Charity and Kindness be granted leave from such emotional circumstances, is there any excuse for the absence of Diligence? Be Humble, and aware of your own possible misinterpretations. - Chad Wed, 20 May 2009 12:54:54 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/is-obama-worth-a-mass.html#comment-1731 With the ears of Notre Dame’s administration closed to the protests of the faithful, it is time for individual action based on one's own convictions. I would suggest that those who oppose this betrayal of Catholic values physically turn their backs to the President at the commencement ceremony. This silent act would be a powerful and appropriate statement from those who have been ignored. Quiet acceptance should not be an option. - Leon B. Duminiak Mon, 11 May 2009 17:21:09 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/is-obama-worth-a-mass.html#comment-1712 It appears that Notre Dame has in fact forfeited it's right as a Catholic entity. Inviting Obama to speak is a slap in the face to all true Catholics. Obama endorses late term abortions! How can any Catholic entity award someone like Obama with any kind of award. Award for what? For endorsing the killing of late term babies. I think that who ever invited this man to speak should be fired. - Anna M Jones Sat, 09 May 2009 03:23:41 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/is-obama-worth-a-mass.html#comment-1708 DTD, You have got to be kidding me! Racial undertones. I mean, really! ...But should I be suprised, you are the unfortunate product of the poor education your received. - Pati Fri, 08 May 2009 14:58:56 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/is-obama-worth-a-mass.html#comment-1704 Jeff DC -- sadly you just don't get it. - Rosie Fri, 08 May 2009 06:08:46 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/is-obama-worth-a-mass.html#comment-1599 We can't impeach the President, but we can put pressure on the President of Notre Dame to cancel Obama or resign. - Ray Gawronski Thu, 30 Apr 2009 16:58:29 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/is-obama-worth-a-mass.html#comment-1598 I think Pres. Jenkins has lost his way....God have mercy on him. His vows of Holy Orders, and obeying Catholic Doctrine, he is snubbing everyone. I feel sorry for the students who are graduating and their parents who spent their hard earned money to send them to Notre Dame, if I was a student, just mail me the diploma, and NO ONE SHOW UP. THAT WOULD MAKE A STATEMENT., BUT THEY EARNED THIS DAY But Obama will show up, no matter what, but wouldn\'t it be nice if he declined the honorary degree.. - Mary Thu, 30 Apr 2009 16:36:13 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/is-obama-worth-a-mass.html#comment-1572 It is a sign that even within our church , one must be on gaurd of the roaring lion. God Almighty have mercy on us and on the whole world! - Darlene Graver Tue, 28 Apr 2009 12:20:06 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/is-obama-worth-a-mass.html#comment-1540 Why?????? Why would Notre Dame invite this man and knows that his beliefs are against the the Catholic Church? I dont understand! Just like he wanted the cross of Jesus covered ath Georgetown University... what will he want Notre Dame to do? To me he is anti-Christ. God help us all! The Catholic Church is degrading their own regligion for this man. - Senoria Land Fri, 24 Apr 2009 15:24:16 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/is-obama-worth-a-mass.html#comment-1512 "Jeff DC" makes a legitimate point. Yet the prez's choice of Sebelius for his cabinet, who lists full-term abortion docs among her supporters, should also give us serious pause. OK, class of 2009, use your free speech. Wear something that states a pro-life solidarity (red arm band? "Scream" masks?) so Obama will hear your voice. He gives the speech; you show your united objections. Maybe he'll listen just a little. - Jim Durand Tue, 21 Apr 2009 12:11:32 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/is-obama-worth-a-mass.html#comment-1509 All this tempest over an invitation to a man who is obviously qualified as (inarguably, unlike the last one) the leader of our nation to deliver a mere speech. Has your faith been reduced to this? Is there now nothing more to Catholicism than political opposition to abortion? President Obama's positions toward the sick and needy are far more in line with the best tenets of Christianity than those who obsess over the unborn but deny succor to the living. - Jeff DC Tue, 21 Apr 2009 09:52:32 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/is-obama-worth-a-mass.html#comment-1499 This is horrible, but we Catholics are greatly to blame. We always wait for Bishops or the Pope to step in and fix the problems we have. We ourselves never do enough. Prayer is a powerful weapon, but I think it is time to step it up a notch. It's because we don't do our part to stop things like this that we Catholics get walked on. Jesus said himself that the Church would never be broken, so why are we so afraid to fight it? - Daniel Fedele Mon, 20 Apr 2009 17:49:44 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/is-obama-worth-a-mass.html#comment-1489 NOW OBAMA AND HIS PARTY WANT THE CROSS OF JESUS COVERED? AND YOU THINK THAT'S OK? WHERE IS THE POPE ON THIS? DOES HE HAVE ANY CLUE WHAT THE SCHOOL IS DOING AND WHY? GUESS HE IS NOT AWARE ANYONE CAN SAY THIS ABOUT OUR SAVIOR. - Elizabeth D'Aquila Sun, 19 Apr 2009 18:37:27 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/is-obama-worth-a-mass.html#comment-1482 It should be shocking but very interesting to read the comments of some of the Bishops about the debacle at Notre Dame. See them at: http://notredamescandal.com/WhatTheyAreSaying/tabid/461/Default.aspx The best that can be said about them is that they contain no profanity, though since they were made by Bishops this is not surprising. These Bishops are speaking for the entire Church and place in context the depravity of the leaders of Notre Dame. Shame on them. - Bob Williams Sat, 18 Apr 2009 15:43:14 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/is-obama-worth-a-mass.html#comment-1429 Thank you for your article. I am organizing prayer/protest vigils in my diocease of Lansing, Michigan to plead for intercession from our Lady. All you who may read this please offer an Ave for my success and remember: Ronald Reagan was once "pro-choice" too. - Mrs. Sandra Kostrzewski Tue, 14 Apr 2009 17:13:18 +0100 http://www.thecatholicthing.org/columns/2009/is-obama-worth-a-mass.html#comment-1410 As a graduate of Jesuit Santa Clara U., I can only say that we were taught to avoid scandal at all costs! Most Catholic Universities and too many members of the USCCB don't believe in hell and have failed to read Paul to the Corinthians on what to do with scandalous members of the community! Fear of the Lord is all through scripture! I recommend first disband the USCCB (it's a club) and all Catholic Univ. who adopted the Land O Lakes conference! The German CCB felt they could work with Hitler! - Jerome T. Schall Thu, 09 Apr 2009 12:47:36 +0100
