Just one of the reasons that Bishop Finn is one of my favorites.And he is absolutely correct, for 2 reasons:
1. Barry's speech was not to "promote dialogue" as Fr. Jenkins claimed, it was just a speech where he espoused his pro-death views. There was no chance for dialogue.
2. There is no compromise on abortion. You either support killing babies or you don't. There is no circumsance where it is acceptable to kill a baby.
Bishop Robert W. Finn of Kansas City-St. Joseph has pointed out that Notre Dame's president said he chose to honor President Obama and let him speak to promote dialogue, but that Obama said in his speech that he and the Church have “irreconcilable” differences on abortion. This admission, the bishop said, “shut the door on dialogue.”
Regarding this latter idea, Bishop Finn expressed that the Church can and in fact does cooperate with the government, but that this cannot mean it will ever move away from its values and ideals, making any negotiation regarding the Church’s tolerance of abortion impossible.
“As a country we want to see an end to racial prejudice. We want a more secure peace in the world. We want sound economic justice for people. So we can’t give up on working with the administration,” Bishop Finn said.
