Obama's honorary degree

For all the practicing Catholics...how many of you practice birth control, how many of you are divorced or married to someone who was married before? Life is not black or white. I am conservative on many issues, but there may be a time in a persons life when abortion may be necessary. This is not a decision taken lightly by most women. This is an issue that is personal. The church does not take care of a family, or worry about how it survives. There is a strength for many people in religion, but religion is not helpful when it is a religion of fear. The Catholic Church needs to be supportive of life, not judgmental toward individuals decisions. That is what makes religion distructive.

notre dame,s decision to invite President Obama as commencement speaker.

i think that catholics who donate to notre dame should find some other charity to donate to, who is in keeping with the doctrine of the faith,and the teachings of the magesterium of the catholic church, especially on abortion. thank you.

Lets be real

Yes down with Obama, he the one who said let open dialogue with the enemy, why waste time to talk with them lets bomb them to death(REPUBLICAN0), we are Republican god fearing man if you dont agree with me We will destroy your home , and family

Messiah or Antichrist?

Liberals are a lot like lemings: They'll follow anything, even Satan himself.

Keep this in mind...The last time an entire country was so enthralled and awestruck by its charismatic leader, 6,000,000 Jews were exterminated right under their noses.

I wonder when I should begin shopping for a burqua?

Jesus Help Us!

Jesus, where are you? How could your flock go so far astray? How could you allow this Catholic University president to be so caught up in this evil culture to allow its evil ammabasador to carry such an intrinsically evil message to your flock through honoring him? You were counter cultural during your time on earth. You never tolerated evil practices! You over turned the tables of the money changers in the Temple. That was so inconsequential compared to what is happening now. Where are You? Be here! Show your PRESENCE! I know you will!

Current administration

All diseases must run their course. Hopefully this one ends Jan 2013.

obama

the catholics should worry about all the good catholic girls that are pregnant a few in my class and the signs in front of their churches offering pregnant girls help and then worry about the pres speaking at notre dame get on another band wagon instead of the same old stuff they are always complaining about

President Jenkins' justification

"He's not condoning Obama's position on specific issues" ! Give me a break. Does that mean he could invite Osama Bin Laden to speak but we should be accepting because we need to "persuade him" What's the difference - Obama and Osama both condone killing human beings.

Obama

They really need to take the word 'Catholic' out of this school, Obama wheather u like it or not is PRO DEATH

Obama's speech

I was raised a Catholic and I for one left the religion for one reason the hypocrisy. I believe in the lord and the word of the lord nowhere in the bible does it say that god opposes homosexuality; people believe what they want to believe like the president is muslim or born out of this country (neither of which are true) Stop listening and follow your heart He is a good man and is a good president. this country fell into a pit the day former (thank god) President Bush lied to us and told us that Saddam Hussein was in Al qaeda's pocket (a lie) the day we waterboarded our 1st prisoner and the day the 1st person that knew he couldn't afford a hm bought one anyways with lies. The hypocrisy is amazing wake up and look around you the evil is all around you and it's not your president.
