South Bend, IN – The judge in the case concerning the pro-life protesters arrested on the campus of Notre Dame University expressing their opposition to the Catholic college giving an award to pro-abortion President Barack Obama has recused herself after an appeal was filed suggesting a conflict of interest.

I can’t understand how a judge could initially refuse to be taken out of the case. Her husband works for Norte Dame; no matter what his opinions are, the relationship is a conflicit. It would be enough to eliminate her from being on the jury; let alone being the judge.

I think judges, by virtue of their training, like to think that no matter what the circumstances they can be truly unbiased. I think they see it as an attack on their professionalism and integrity to be asked to step aside. So she probably in all reasonableness did not see any issue with her husband being employed by ND and she didn’t see any conflict there. Once the lawsuit came down, to avoid a lot of time and hassle she just decided it easier to step aside rather than fight it. I don’t know if the status or outcome of this lawsuit has been hurt or benefitted at all from having a new judge assigned to it.

ABSOLUTELY:)

What gets me …who gave her the case in the first place?
 
The judge’s husband is an outspoken critic of Catholic pro-life teachings and is a tenured philosophy professor at Notre Dame?

This is what gets me. Catholic universities with faculty who advocate for abortion.

The Battle Between Good and Evil
- Father John Corapi

"One cannot understand reality if one brackets out a large portion of reality - the preternatural order ( :angel1: angels and demons). If you try to arrive at valid conclusions concerning reality, but have left out a good part of that reality you are engaged in an exercise in futility. So many things today can only be understood in the light of this spiritual reality. Have you ever wondered why so many apparently educated and intelligent people just don’t get it, especially with respect to such life and death matters as abortion?

There is a battle that goes on in the spiritual order between the forces of God and the forces of Satan, “the adversary.” This battle between cosmic good and evil, between :angel1: angels and demons, has man caught in the crosshairs. Man is an active player in his own salvation. We need the help of our allies the :angel1: angels. To fail to enlist their :angel1: help is reckless. To fail to realize the reality of the enemy forces, the demonic legions, can be ultimately and eternally fatal.

We are at war and our battle is NOT against flesh and blood, as St. Paul warns us in Ephesians 6. The battle between good and evil, truth and lies, life and death involves these angelic legions - good and evil. We are soldiers in God’s army, like it or not, believe it or not. We must be aware of these fundamental teachings, learn them, and live in accordance with them."

I don’t know about other Catholic universities, but that seems to be par for the course for Notre Dame. Does the name Fr. Richard McBrien ring any bells? Probably the most infamous example.

This would be par for the course for those universities that are party to the “Land-O-Lakes” agreement. Notre Dame, St. Louis U, Boston College and quite a few more separated themselves from the teaching authority of the Catholic Church back in the mid-sixties. If you go to their web sites you will see that they identify themselves as “private” schools with a long catholic tradition.
