Georgetown University is no better. They should have moved the location of Mr. Obama's speech to the gym rather than covering the IHS as was demanded. The universities are all showing their true status. If my child was attending college today it would be at Franciscan in Stuebenville or at John Paul II in Oceanside, because they are truly Catholic, not only nominally. Prairiehawk is absolutely right, we need to pray to Our Lady for her help in our time of trouble. Just as the vandals attacked the Roman Empire when they were too concerned with the debauchery, sexual excesses and blood and circuses, so too will the enemies of the United States bring us down. We have lost our moral compass and our willingness to work, and I fear that this may lead to the fall of our soveriegnty.

That's what's happening here. Fr. Jenkins knows it's wrong to honor Obama, but has deliberately exercised his "will" in a harmful way. Wake up, Fr. Jenkins.

American success dictates our thinking and extends it into the spiritual realm. It follows then that it is in heaven as it is on earth. Notre Dame is also a victim of it's success. As other Catholic institutions, she has become a whore in the secular world. The name in the mind of various commentators doesn't even bring up images of Our Lady but rather some... French dame. As with other scandals the responsibility for them rests at the top. Fr. Hugh Cleary's name needs to be trumpeted as the cleric who fell from grace. Fr. Euteneuer is doing this with his article.

We threw off the lawful king's authority by force of arms, remember? And to this day we still don't like for anyone to tell us what to do. It's the great flaw of the American Church that we dislike and suspect authority, and we're seeing that flaw on lavish display before the whole world with the Notre Dame scandal. A scandal it remains, but a typically American one. Pray to Our Lady, Queen of the Americas and Patroness of the United States. I think she's the only one with the remedy. “Bucking the conventional wisdom” is a fault line that runs through American society and culture going all the way back to the Revolutionary War.

That is substantial. They are following a proud American tradition of bucking the conventional wisdom. Catholic orthodoxy is a burden these sinister citizens don't want to bear. They tolerate it until it's the right moment, then they display their bent and bias for the rest of us to witness and be amazed. Well, I'm neither amazed nor surprised. We know who the messiah of the catholic left flank is. If they voted him into office, not to honor him would be a denial of their true loyalty.
