Unreal… Notre Dame Invites Radical Abortion President Obama to Come Speak Again
Posted by Jim Hoft on Tuesday, September 25, 2012, 1:58 PM
Notre Dame President Father Jenkins told reporters in January 2010 that the decision to host Barack Obama, the most radical pro-abortion president in history, at commencement in 2009 was an honor and a success.

Obama even supported infanticide while serving in Illinois. Despite this, Notre Dame University invited him to come back and speak on campus again this fall.
The Cardinal Newman Society reported:
Despite Catholic outrage over the University of Notre Dame’s 2009 invitation to President Barack Obama to address its graduates, the University has again invited the President to speak on campus as a candidate for reelection.
From the Notre Dame news release
The University of Notre Dame’s president, Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., and student body president Brett Rocheleau have joined in inviting both President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Gov. Mitt Romney to speak at the University during the fall election campaign.
Continuing a long-standing tradition, Father Jenkins and Rocheleau addressed letters to each of the presidential aspirants, offering Notre Dame as a “forum for serious political discussion” on important issues facing the nation. The intent of the invitations, which include the candidates’ running mates, is to provide the campus community a firsthand impression of the contenders and their messages.
The tradition of election-year invitations to presidential and vice presidential candidates was established 60 years ago by Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., in his first year as Notre Dame’s president. That year, both Dwight Eisenhower and his Democratic opponent, Adlai Stevenson, spoke at the University.
Other candidates who have accepted the invitation through the years include Richard Nixon, Henry Cabot Lodge, Warren Miller (a Notre Dame alumnus), Edmund Muskie, George H.W. Bush, Bill Clinton, and Joe Lieberman.
More than 367,000 individuals signed The Cardinal Newman Society’s petition opposing President Obama’s 2009 commencement address and honorary degree from Notre Dame, and 83 Catholic bishops publicly criticized the honor.
Father Jenkins and Notre Dame sued the Obama Administration over their anti-Christian HHS rule in May.

I just don’t get it. I am embarrassed for America. And Notre Dame, a new low.

Why am I not surprised? They will also vote for Obama in November, esp the Hispanic Catholics.

I’m embarrassed for Jim Hoft and the idiots posting here.

I sent a nice little note the University president calling him a disgrace. I suggest all who feel the same let him know your feelings. Not that it will change anything.

What is a “radical abortion president”?

President Obama Declares The Future Must Not Belong to Practicing Christians
In his speech to the United Nations General Assembly today the President of the United States declared that the future does not belong to practicing Christians. Already, the media and the left are in full denial, probably based on their general lack of understanding of theology. This would have been a gaffe had Mitt Romney said it. But with Barack Obama, he’s just speaking bold truths. His bold truth declares that the future does not belong to practicing Christians.
Pay careful attention to what he says.
The future must not belong to those who slander the prophet of Islam. Yet to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see when the image of Jesus Christ is desecrated, churches are destroyed, or the Holocaust is denied. Let us condemn incitement against Sufi Muslims, and Shiite pilgrims. It is time to heed the words of Gandhi: “Intolerance is itself a form of violence and an obstacle to the growth of a true democratic spirit.” Together, we must work towards a world where we are strengthened by our differences, and not defined by them. That is what America embodies, and that is the vision we will support.
Now, that’s the full paragraph so no one can claim I took him out of context.
But consider this.
It is an orthodox Christian belief that Mohammed is not a prophet. Actual Christians, as opposed to many of the supposed Christians put up by the mainstream media, believe that Christ is the only way to salvation. Believing that is slandering Mohammed. That’s just a fact. If you don’t believe me, you go into the MIddle East and proclaim Christ is the way, the truth, and the life and see what happens to your life.
Then Barack Obama went on to say “Yet to be credible, those who condemn that slander must also condemn the hate we see when the image of Jesus Christ is desecrated, churches are destroyed, or the Holocaust is denied.” Note he says we cannot “slander the prophet of Islam” but it’s only the image of Christ in the next sentence — not actually Christ himself desecrated. If this is so, why does Barack Obama’s government continue funding the National Endowment for the Arts, which funded Christ in piss, the Virgin Mary painted in dung, etc.?
Now, in point of fact, this is a major difference between Islam and Christianity. Christ came to this world as an enemy of the world and expected to be impugned. He also tells his followers that they should expect to be impugned. There is joy in being persecuted for following the Risen Lord. In Islam, if you impugn Mohammed, you get a fatwa on your butt.
And then there is the first amendment. The President of the United States tried to have it both ways in his speech. READ MORE, YES, THERE IS MORE.

To paraphrase a real president:
I didn’t leave the Catholic faith.
The Catholic faith left me.
Remco Kimber commented:
What is being taught in the Catholic churches?
The coming-to-light of the RCC sex scandals gives indication of just how shabbily led are Catholics.
Amash commented:
As a Catholic, let me just say, I’m at a loss for words. This excuse for a president can say or do anything and not have to answer for it. That’s it. I’m done.
rosie commented:
Did Jenkins ever bail out that poor old priest whom they called the cops on during Zero’s last visit? This wonderful priest has marched against abortion for years and was doing the same just inside the campus of “Our Lady” when carried off. That “smoke of Satan” which entered the Church some decades ago is proudly displayed via Jenkins…..and what about his “………..dialogues” as well! Will they cover over INRI or crucifixes at Zero’s request? I mean it’s not like Zero’s buddies/radical muslims aren’t literally crucifying Christians in Yemen and elsewhere.
snap boy commented:
When even the priests don’t adhere to the strictures of a religion, that religion’s shelf life is past. The Catholic clergy are killing the Church.
Blacque Jacques Shellacque commented:
Sometimes you just have to wonder about people like this Jenkins guy. Do they even think?
RedStateGal commented:
Whoa! It’s pathetic how much the administration of this University needs the admiration of the World. This is what happens when you become part of the world, rather than realizing that Heaven is the true home of the Christian.
Militant Catholic commented:
I’m looking forward to hearing what Ann Barnhardt has to say about this!

A COVENANT FOR A NEW AMERICA
["At a press conference on December 1... the possible Presidential contender said, '...the network that Saddleback has helped to create has as much reach as any institutional force in our culture and has probably a wider reach around the world than just about anything that's going on right now.... I hope one of the things that comes out of this conference that Pastor Rick has emphasized again and again, is no single branch of our society is going do this alone. If government thinks they can do it by themselves they're wrong. Churches have to recognize that they've got to be partners with the government. Business has an enormous role....]
“I am confident that we can create a Kingdom right here on Earth.”
‘We are God’s partners in matters of life and death’
‘my individual salvation is not gonna come about
without a collective salvation for the country’ ….
follow the links, connect the dots..
and that’s just a drop in the proverbial bucket that
we are all but the elites symbolically drowning in..
