They weren't outraged when Notre Dame honored (link; link) Barack Obama, one
of the, if not the, leading defender (link; link; link; link; link) in the Illinois legislature of infanticide, where hospital nurses placed viable infants born alive after botched
abortions alone in storage rooms to die without medical care, a practice famously
publicized by a nurse who had witnessed it at the incongruously-named
Christ Hospital in suburban Chicago.
But let a Bishop criticize Obama and the Notre
Dame faculty erupts like Mount Vesuvius.
The Chicago Tribune reports (link) that “More than a hundred University
of Notre Dame professors have demanded that Illinois Bishop Daniel Jenky renounce
comments he made criticizing President Barack Obama's stance on religious
liberty that compared him to dictators Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin....” The Bishop is a Notre
Dame graduate and sits on the ND Board of Fellows and Board of Trustees, says the
Tribune. “In his homily, Jenky compared
the administration's stance to anti-religious figures in history such as Hitler
and Stalin who 'have tried to force Christians to huddle and hide within
the confines of their churches.' "
Infanticide? To each his
own. Late Term Partial Birth Abortions? Who am I to judge? Criticize Obama? HOW DARE YOU?
So goes the Catholic University of Notre Dame, a great institution that has fallen of late into some very bad hands.
