Keyes, priest arrested at Notre Dame protest

[stbruno]

For the Sake of his sorrowful passion have mercy on us and on the whole world.

Divine Mercy, please lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need of they mercy!

I haven’t stopped praying since this whole debacle started and I don’t think I will stop now.

Alice Von Hildebrand called him and said people were being arrested right in front of the chapel

i wonder if all those who said dont protest, just go there and pray have a response to that? or to the arrest of a priest praying the rosary?

Parking and security are problems at any university on an ordinary day. On graduation day, you have thousands of visitors coming from all over, making it a logistical nightmare… campus thefts take place more often on days like these than any other because of how many strange faces there are. Factor in a second, alternative commencement at a different location. Then factor in a Presidential visit, and all of the additional security concerns that the Secret Service are going to further impose.

The university has a right to oversee the activities that take place on their campus. They allowed sanctioned demonstrations to take place, so long as they applied for permits so that coordinate the ‘when’ and ‘where’ said demonstrations would take place to fit within the already chaotic scene.

His Excellency, Bishop D’Arcy supported the sanctioned demonstrations, but warned against disruptive demonstrations. This priest disregarded the local bishop, the Catholic authority for the diocese. It is terribly sad that he was arrested, but he chose to violate the law, to ignore the concerns of an overly-stressed campus security, and go against the advice of the bishop himself.

The university sent a message to Catholics that are prolife, that should mean everyone of us…You can’t be pro choice and anti abortion…It is not compatible

Unfortunately in he case of Notre Dame, we have meant the enemy, and they claim to be one of us to paraphrase Pogo

I am not fooled…I hope that the clergy that looked the other way will repent, and that goes for the enablers that went right along with them

The strong too often dominate the weak, and too many of those with wealth and with power find all manner of justification for their own privilege." —US President Barack Obama, May 17, 2009

“When the Church addresses her social teaching to issues of the common good… her aim, which is our aim as patriotic Catholics, is simply to help purify reason and to contribute, here and now, to the acknowledgment and attainment of what is just (Deus caritas est, no. 28).” —Archbishop Raymond Burke, May 8, 2009

“As Catholics, we can never cease to work for the correction of gravely unjust laws. Law is a fundamental expression of our culture and implicitly teaches citizens what is morally acceptable.” —Archbishop Raymond Burke, May 8, 2009

from The Curt Jester:

During his interview, Bishop Finn also said, “Dialogue is a means to an end. The purpose of dialogue has to be a change of heart. If I listen well and we each speak the truth, then the dialogue may have a chance of being productive. But I have to have some authentic principled goal in mind… Dialogue is important, but the question is fairly raised, ‘May we negotiate about things that are intrinsic evils?’ and I think the answer is no.” [reference]
