Should Notre Dame Rescind Its Obama Commencement Invitation?
By Dan Gilgoff, God & Country

But Notre Dame officials note that campus support for Obama's May 17 appearance is strong.

Catholic Church Aided and abetted Child Rape
Where was the church's standards when it came to shuffle around priests who they knew were raping children? If the care about children so much, why don't they use the riches of the Vatican to feed the world's hungry children that are already born and suffering? Do they simply want more children for their priests to rape daily? The church has proven itself time and again to be hypocrites that are only concerned with self survival as demonstrated by their behavior in Germany during the reign of Hitler.
Poll re rescission of invitation to Notre Dame
On its face, a poll showing 87% response favoring a rescission of the Notre Dame invitation to Obama is preposterous. Polls show that half the country favors abortion and well more than half voted for him and support him now. Your poll casts a serious question upon the credibility of U S New and World Report and its polling methods. An explanation is required. Also required is a statement about why this news source should continue to be seen as reliable.
