No Kidding?
"More than 87,000 names have been added to an online petition launched by a conservative Catholic group calling for the University of Notre Dame to rescind its invitation to President Obama to speak at its May 17 commencement ceremony."
The petition calls it "an outrage and a scandal" that Notre Dame, one of the nation's leading Catholic universities, would honor Obama. The petition says the president's pro-choice views and support for embryonic stem cell research "directly contradict fundamental Catholic teachings on life and marriage."
Notre Dame President the Rev. John I. Jenkins, seemed unmoved by the burgeoning protest. He issued a statement calling Obama "an inspiring leader" who is courageously grappling with the huge challenges confronting the country. Further, he called Obama and a "healer" who has "spoken eloquently and movingly about race in this nation."
"Rev. Jenkins", if I may? There is only One "Healer", and His Teachings that You are supposed to adhere to....hence that "Rev." before your name. Try hard to keep that in mind when making statements to the press.
Forget who I'm speaking of? Just walk on over to the football stadium and glance at the end zone.........
Don't be surprised at the reaction of Catholics to this......yup, he is our President, but an adherent to the Catholic Doctrine, he sure isn't.
Keep your Faith and your Values, whatever they might be........
Oh, I forgot.....it's "Obama".......My Bad.

you know what, no doubt about it Obama has charisma, he is the first black president, and he is grappling sum very very serious issues... and i can see why a university would like to have him speak.... but a i agree, a catholic university really should think twice seeing as how his views most definatly do contradict conservative catholic values to say the least.
i see both sides to the coin, but wolfies right.... Notre Dame, U need to think of the fact that Obama's policies and your conservative catholic views do not mesh at all!
poor choice.... because yes wolfies right, you need to keep your values.... maybe having him over to participate in a debate? but make it clear, u diagree with his views on stem cell reserrch, gay marriage, and abortion.....
I think he may have been chosen *because* he doesn't jive with Catholic Doctrine.
There's been...an on-going problem.
lol, well i wasnt trying to go there! lol
