Fr. Pavone to Lead Alternate ND Commencement

While the news that Notre Dame will not yield on its disgraceful invitation of President Obama remains heartbreaking, some good news on the Pro-Life front was recently announced.

Fr. Frank Pavone, founder and head of Priests for Life, will be leading an alternate commencement ceremony at Notre Dame this weekend. Fr. Pavone will lead a group of seniors and their families in prayer at the grotto to Our Lady of Lourdes on campus. Fr. Pavone's service will be held at 2 p.m, the same time as President Obama will be speaking at the official University commencement. Check out this LifeSiteNews article.

I would like to ask all of you to once again pray. Pray for Father Jenkins, President of Notre Dame. Pray for President Obama. Pray for the Church. Pray for those catholics who have lost their way. Pray for this nation and for a change of heart on life issues. We can make abortion illegal but what this nation needs more than anything is for people to not want abortion because they see it for the lie that it is.

Come Holy Spirit and fill the hearts of the faithful!

ND Student Groups Join the Fight!

After days of hearing from so-called experts stating that Notre Dame students are overwhelmingly in favor of President Obama being honored at graduation, numerous ND student organizations have banded together to show their outrage. Notre Dame Response is a new website sponsored by angry student led groups on campus who think Notre Dame is still a Catholic University and would like to show that to the world. Please visit their website and show support to those brave men and women who are standing up for truth!

Brave Voice in a Cowardly World!

Fort Wayne/South Bend Bishop John M. D'Arcy has issued a statement about the sad controversy that has erupted at the University of Notre Dame. Bishop D'Arcy's statement can be read in it's entirety here.

In a sad contrast, the University of Notre Dame has issued a statement of their own. The University is standing firm in their determination to flush Church teaching away and scandalize millions of Catholics around the world. Here is a story on Notre Dame's statement. If you have not yet done so, please visit Notredamescandal.com to sign the petition against the honoring of President Obama. Stand up for truth NOW! The time for sitting on the sidelines is over. Stand up for TRUTH! Be Catholic!

Shame of Notre Dame!

Today is a dark day for the University of Notre Dame. It was just announced that the commencement speaker at this year's graduation will be none other than President Barack Obama. The call of the Holy Father for Catholic Institutions and Universities to speak the message of Christ to the world has fallen on deaf ears at this "once great" Catholic Institution of Higher Learning. This President has shown nothing short of utter disdain for the dignity of human beings. He has gone out of his way to promote the destruction of human life at every possible opportunity. Notre Dame is now condoning this despicable behavior by celebrating this man. He will be given an Honorary Law Degree at the commencement. Apparently it is not a doctorate of moral law! He could use a few lessons in that! My main beef here is with the leaders of Notre Dame University. You make my skin crawl! As a Catholic Institution you are called on to be a light of Christ to the world. If you think you are being this light then I suggest you take a few minutes and grab a copy of the Cathechism of the Catholic Church!

Another point in all this is that Notre Dame is being used by the President to subvert Catholic Teachings in this country. I do not think I am out of bounds when I say that I see a personal agenda against the Catholic Church in the policies of this administration. President Obama receives invitations from hundreds of universities each spring. Why did he choose to accept Notre Dame's invitation? While I can't read Obama's mind I can't help but see a pattern of false "catechising" of Catholics in this country. He seems to go out of his way to pick pro-abortion "catholics" for key places in his government. He institutes diabolical policies that will assure the deaths of millions more innocent children in this country. He has removed bans on U.S. tax dollars funding abortion around the world. Perhaps his goal is to make abortion our nation's number one export. Notre Dame is being used to promote this agenda! Think I'm being paranoid? You better wake up America! Societies throughout history that have practiced human sacrifice have been wiped off the face of the earth! Embryonic stem cell research is the modern era's human sacrifice! America's days are numbered and we have done it to ourselves. Don't sit on your hands and let this evil go unchallenged. Speak up! Let the University of Notre Dame know that enough is enough!

Notre Dame know how you feel! http://www.notredamescandal.com
