LifeNews reports:

After LifeNews.com reported on the news, the switchboards at Notre Dame rang off the hook and eventually the volume of calls became too much to handle.

The voicemail message boxes for the university's president, vice-president, provost, assistant provost, and public relations director were all full by the end of the day on Friday. Operators suggested that callers try again today to reach top Notre Dame officials.

Papists, you are not alone in considering Notre Dame's invitation of Obama to be inappropriate.
