One of the Vatican’s highest ranked clerics and a frequent critic of President Obama said Friday that Notre Dame is causing a “scandal” by giving the president an honorary degree and a platform to address graduates at its commencement next weekend.

'The proposed granting of an honorary doctorate at Notre Dame University to our president, who is so aggressively advancing an anti-life and anti-family agenda, is rightly the source of the greatest scandal," said Archbishop Raymond Burke, who is the prefect of the Apostolic Signatura, the Vatican’s highest court.

Doesn’t this guy have the power to enforce something from his Vatican office?

The best would to have the Pope Lacize Fr. Jenkins and excommunicate him from the Catholic Church. Also give a warning that this will be the norm if the Schools do not adher to Catholic teachings.

Excommunicate him? Granted, this Obama thing is pretty bad. But to excommunicate a religous over it. I don’t think thats appropriate. Besides, you never know. Some good may yet come of it. There is always hope.

PEACE

When a priest does not abide by the teachings of the church then he should be excommunicated. For the president of a Catholic university to have a pro-abortion speaker and even to give him an honorary degree is showing everyone that this priest does not care about the teachings of the church. Just because Obama is the president of this country does not mean that he can over-ride the church teachings. He seems to thumb his nose at the church and is doing all he can to promote his pro-death agenda. We don’t need people like that speaking to students in Catholic schools.
