10 Holy Cross Priests Add Their Voices To The Growing Opposition To Obama's Notre Dame Invite

Read their joint statement here. Hat tip to Mark Shea.

I can only imagine the grief that the member priests of a religious order must feel when one of their own violates the vows they took upon ordination. I have said it before, and I shall say it again: so long as Fr. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., remains President of the University of Notre Dame, the damage done by this commencement debacle to the university's reputation as a flagship American Catholic university will never be fully repaired. More Holy Cross fathers such as the signatories of the above letter must step up and return Notre Dame to its classical liberal arts and orthodox Catholic roots. If Fr. Jenkins, or men of similar measure, continue to run the university into the ground doctrinally and spiritually, then the Obama commencement debacle will prove to be the merely the latest in a long line of past, present, and future scandals of increasingly greater and more vulgar magnitude perpetrated by the university.

Please supports the efforts of Notre Dame Response and other groups who are lining up to combat this scandal. In many ways, the integrity of American Catholic higher education hangs in the balance. God bless!
