No president has been more anti-life than Obama. His record goes far beyond advocating abortion on demand. He supports using the tissue of unborn babies and has no qualms about letting accidental live births end in death.
The Church of Rome has been consistently pro-life, but the University of Notre Dame has decided to flatter Obama with an honorary doctorate and a chance to speak.
Notre Dame is the center ring for all Roman Catholics. Fans follow the football team with a passion exceded by no other college team. Although another school was supposed to become the official Catholic school, Notre Dame shouldered all others aside and achieved star status through Knute Rockne and the Fighting Irish. The Holy Cross fathers followed with an endless financial campaign that even left Joe Kennedy behind as roadkill. (He was on the board but did not give generously enough, so they booted him.)
Notre Dame invited Obama and will not un-invite him. Does that sound like Wisconsin Lutheran College and Martin Marty? Or Church and Change and Leonard Sweet? All apostates are the same. Whatever forbearance they are given by conservatives, they flaunt their degenerate positions by going far beyond what anyone expected or feared.
The University of Notre Dame has a tradition of inviting new presidents to speak at graduation. But this year's selection of President Barack Obama has been met by a barrage of criticism that has left some students fearing their commencement ceremony will turn into a circus.
Many Catholics are angered by Obama's planned appearance at the May 17 ceremony because of his decisions to provide federal funding for embryonic stem cell research and international family planning groups that provide abortions or educate about the procedure.
The consensus Thursday on the campus of the nation's largest Catholic university was that any president should be welcomed at Notre Dame.
Truly, the top prize in snottiness and lying belongs to Wisconsin Lutheran College, for hosting Archbishop Weakland and a group of priests in a series of lectures open to the public. WLC, scrofulous womb of Church and Change, tried to claim the talks were closed sessions - as if that mattered at all. They glided over the fact that Weakland paid off his boyfriend but got involved in a messy, public dispute over his affair anyway. The Holy Father, who never seemed bothered by any other apostate, was quick to scrape Weakland from the bottom of the Shoes of the Fisherman.
