Obama supports abortion on demand, government funding of abortion, government funding of stem cell research that kills human embryos, legally granting same-sex unions all the rights and privileges of marriage, and repealing the federal Defense of Marriage Act that protects states from being forced to recognize same-sex marriages contracted in other states as they otherwise might be compelled to under the Full Faith and Credit Clause of the Constitution.
The Catholic Church holds that abortion and same-sex unions are immoral and must be opposed.

Notre Dame alumnus Joe Scheidler, national director of the Pro-Life Action League, quickly responded to Notre Dame’s announcement that Obama would deliver its commencement speech by issuing a statement calling on Father John Jenkins, the president of Notre Dame, to withdraw the invitation to Obama..

It will be interesting to hear the spin on this.

Yep, that's the big thing.
The spin doctors will definitely be setting new records for RPMs with this one.

That deafening sound you hear is the sound of those checkbooks being closed....how could Notre Dame officials even consider this?
He needs an "honorary" when he already has a real one from Harvard?
Is this an early April Fool's joke?
Can't wait to hear how the Pope responds to this.

I'm sure Notre Dame has already performed the cost/benefit analysis, being sure to include the tax dollars the Messiah will throw its way when it says it needs a bailout.
Shame on those stupid bastards.

Time to cancel the season tickets...My father gives the IRISH about $1000 each year for the privelege of being season ticket holders...then pays the $76 face value for 6-7 home games X2...Maybe not anymore...

I'm amazed also. I understand honorary degrees have almost always been used as fundraising tools, but to given an honorary degree to someone whom already has the degree... from an even more prestigious institution... ::)

Doesn't he already have a Harvard Law Degree, which is prestigious as it gets. I am not Catholic, but doesn't this go against their charter?
