Overview: The latest Notre Dame Scandal news

It's hard to keep up with it all. Check back for continuing updates.

NDResponse.com is a good place to start. And of course NotreDameScandal.com (300,000+ signatures!).

But here's an interesting new innitiative:

ReplaceJenkins.com is a national effort consisting of Notre Dame Alumni and financial supporters who believe the University should not honor President Barack Obama given his public actions and commitment to the destruction of innocent human life, in violation of the express teachings of the Catholic Church.

As you can see - it really goes for the throat.

Cardinal Newman Society updates us on the (lack of a) Jenkins response:

Students at the University of Notre Dame have announced that university president Rev. John Jenkins, C.S.C. is refusing to meet with them regarding Notre Dame’s plan to honor and provide a commencement platform to pro-abortion President Barack Obama on May 17. (More: LifeSite)

Newt weights in:



Julia Duin of the Washington Times surveys the situation:

"American Catholicism is definitely at war with itself -- or at least with its institutions of higher learning. We're still waiting to find out what form anti-Obama protests will take on the day of commencement, but I'm betting he might not get the same rapturous welcome there that he enjoyed this past Tuesday at Georgetown University."

She also notes: "Thirty-three Catholic bishops have issued some kind of statement criticizing Notre Dame's decision to host the president." Hmm, I wonder where she got that number?
