Several Protesters, Including Alan Keyes And A Catholic Priest, Arrested At Notre Dame

Mind you, there were no bloody dolls or any other controversial displays this time around. This was a peaceful, prayerful demonstration. A prayer for the intercession of Our Lady, who must be weeping at the thought that she is both the namesake of this university and the Patroness of the Unborn, and that these two facts are now in direct conflict with one another.

And seriously, for those of you who are unconditional Obama supporters: quit trying to feed us this BS line about Obama trying to reduce the number of abortions. Your argument makes about as much sense as saying that legalizing rape while at the same time increasing comprehensive sex education (contraception-based, of course, since this administration seems to regard abstinence as a disease to be avoided at all costs) will decrease the number of rapes in this country. The man supports unrestricted abortion on demand, to the point that he refuses to recognize the humanity of babies who have the poor grace to survive the abortions for which they were targeted; and he supports encouraging the very type of behavior that leads to the "unwanted pregnancies" that Planned Parenthood is only to happy to "fix"...for a price.

But back to the situation at hand. When a university that claims to be Catholic and is named after Our Lady - the Patroness of the Unborn - sanctions the arrest of a priest who is peacefully praying for Our Lady's intercession in aiding the unborn, yet sees nothing wrong with honoring a man who stands against everything Our Lady advocates (and is aggressively trying to establish his opposite stance as the law of the land), that university is engaging in demonic behavior. And the man who is advocating and enabling this behavior, Fr. John I. Jenkins, is no friend of the Catholic Church, the unborn, or the cause of truth. That he doggedly insists on honoring Barack Obama with an honorary law degree when even a secular university (Arizona State) hosting him as commencement speaker denies him a degree (on the grounds that he has not accomplished enough in his life to warrant such an honor) shows that Fr. Jenkins is honoring Barack Obama for no other reason than that he supports what Obama represents.

So long as Fr. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., remains President of the University of Notre Dame, that institution does not deserve to be called a Catholic university, much less the honor of being regarded as "Our Lady's University."

Our Lady, Patroness of the Unborn, whose intercession has wrought miracles beyond count, pray for the persecuted helpless innocents whose only crime was being conceived. Pray also for those who do the persecuting, and that men like Barack Obama and Fr. John Jenkins turn away from their support of the culture of death and use their position to help the cause of life. And please pray that the devoutly Catholic students and alumni of Notre Dame who love their alma mater may soon see the Catholic character of their beloved university restored. God bless!
