I'm a non-practicing Catholic. So I couldn't care less who Notre Dame decides to invite to their commencement address. They could invite Charles Manson or Bill Ayers for all I care. it's their university, not mine. I'm one of the few people who still understand the clause in the Constituion on the right to assemble.
What I find curious is the outrage of some Catholics to his appearance.
Let's face some facts.
If all Catholics had voted against Obama, he wouldn't be president today.
If his stance on abortion is the sole reason he shouldn't speak, then I think you'd better get the Catholic flock in agreement on the issue. Because you still have Nancy Lollapelosi, John Kerry et al throwing the abortion issue right in the face of the church and yet the church has yet to excommunicate them. If this issue is so important (which, for the record, I think it is) then why isn't the church enforcing "the law"?
If Catholics don't feel his abortion stance isn't a deal breaker to be president, then it shouldn't be a deal breaker to speak at a commencement address.
Abortion is a big deal for most people of faith. Unfortunately, it's not enough of an issue to keep people of faith from voting for these bogus religious people. Until that changes, these protests look petty and won't change a damn thing until the faithful quit electing these clowns.
