Chamberlin tried sitting down with Hitler, was duped into thinking there was going to be peace, and look what he got.
I’d rather not summarize it, only because I know that people here will be hanging on every little word, but I’m trying to find a transcript or recording of it. I’ll let you know if I find one.Can you summarize? I missed it.
Love is Patient
I read it too. I didn’t think I could bear to watch the video. I feel heartsick over the attitudes and actions of these seniors. Some Catholic education they received! Notre Dame always touts “educating hearts and minds.” Well, I see a lot of educated minds here, but very few educated hearts. God bless the seniors who decided to protest this. It is an immense shame that so few of them did.
I called this a scandal on another thread, but was corrected by another Catholic that thinks that’s an overblown statement. I may have felt like that 30 years ago in college, but now I am a pro-life activist so I think differently. People high up on Catholic University campuses should set the very best example and I don’t think Fr. Jenkins did. I think it was scandalous.
Wow. Just wow.
Love is PatientI agree that it is a scandal, and I do think the publicity gave the pro-life movement some donations, prayers and press time the very week that a poll shows that 51% of Americans are pro-life according to their own admission. So, actually God will turn this travesty to the good as He always does. Notre Dame is the big loser in this, with Fr. Jenkins at the head of it. Many alumnus have made a reverse pledge, the last I heard they will be out 8 million dollars. I can’t be sure of that, but at least it got people thinking.Wow. Just wow.
This whole situation makes me sick.
I just pray that God brings something good out of this scandal. Like maybe a renewed pro-life movement, or some action from the bishops about how a university much behave in order to call itself Catholic.
Kyrie eleison.
this doesnt speak to me at all
Extending courtesy, respect, and love does not call for a bestowing of a *very high *honor on someone. This can be done extremely well without that. Fr. Jenkins was dripping with eagerness to impress Obama, even going so far as to point out some of the attributes they “personally” share. It looks like you share quite a few, Fr. Jenkins, you’re both falling all over yourselves for the sake of popularity and prestige.
That’s exactly what this was all about. This had less to do with the actual issue of abortion than it had to do with the attempt to paint a “division” within the Church that is really nonexistent. Way to stand up for moral relativism Fr. Jenkins!
Yes he did and he was handed it on a silver platter by ND! It definitely was a coup for the administration. The media made the protesters look deranged and the people cheering in the crowd like the Catholic norm. ND has a lot to answer to.
JP the Great in San Diego rocks. It’s a teeny tiny school with at present, degrees in limited areas. I urge all who yearn for a Catholic education to check it out. One of the most impressive faculties I have ever seen–it appears this is truly their VOCATION, not their paycheck or notoriety. The Blessed Sacrament is available for reflection 24-7. Mass five days a week is built into the school day. The commercials televised in California for Props 4 and 8 were produced by the freshmen and sophomores of JP–not bad for a bunch of snotty nosed kids!
I think about 50 percent of the professors are Catholic, many of them only nominally Catholic. Some of the Protestant professors are more conservative than the Catholic ones. I think mass attendance among the students is fairly high simply because mass is so easy to attend at Notre Dame. I understand they have masses everyday in the dorms and there are several masses in the Basilica each day and on Sunday. The staff is probably mostly non-Catholic. The big problem here is the lack of orthodox Catholic presence among the tenured faculty.
