Fr. Robert Barron hosting a special screening of "Catholicism" at NOTRE DAME

[ab75]

Notre Dame does have a lot going for it. It’s not as secular as Harvard and it’s a fine acedemic institution. I simply question its orthodoxy. Bad PR did not bring President Obama there. And how about this little coterie? ucc.nd.edu/self-help/gay-lesbian-bisexual-transgender-questioning-issues/

The Church recognizes that people can have same sex attractions through no fault of their own. From a reading of that site, the Church and School are not allowing for homosexual acts, they are indicating they are “objectively disordered” as are all sins. I think it’s a great thing for any Catholic University to have a place where those experiencing those attractions can come and get greater understanding. This way they can better understand what the Church teaches and hopefully choose to remain celebate and within the Church instead of feeling shame and excluded leading to rebellion.

Edwin,

Do you consider a university that claims to be Catholic but invites the most adamant supporter of "legalized" abortion to speak and to receive an AWARD from the university to be faithful to its Catholic charter?  I don't.

A "splendid religious educational institution" would remain faithful to the teachings of it's Church, not the teachings of the world.  

Consider this...  If I gave you a glass of sewerage, with a spoonful of the finest wine mixed in it, would you drink it?  No! Why?  Because its all just a glass of sewerage now!

Similarly, if I gave you a glass of the finest wine, with a spoonful of sewerage mixed in, would you drink that?  Same answer, NO!  Why?  Same reason.  Because it's all just a glass of sewerage now!

 We can never do evil in order to try to bring about a greater good.  We must always remain faithful to the good.

Father Jenkins will always carry on his reputation the black mark of his strange and confounding permission for the Obama honor. It is simply inexplicable and odd. It makes no sense and harmed ND more than helped. . . surely our new friend Barry O is now, through Jenkins’ help, much more sensitive to Catholics! NOT.
