Fr. Jenkins to Graduating ND Students: "There is Much to Admire and Celebrate in the Work of Obama"

What a disgrace Jenkins is.  He is obviously happy about the division he is causing.  

Many of us will be just as happy when he is fired.

The president of the University of Notre Dame, Fr. John Jenkins, has issued a letter to graduates addressing the controversy that has exploded over the school's invitation to President Obama to deliver this year's commencement address and receive an honorary degree. In the letter Jenkins expresses his admiration for President Obama and his record.

"There is much to admire and celebrate in the life and work of President Obama," wrote Fr. Jenkins. "He's a remarkable figure in American history and I look forward to welcoming him to Notre Dame."  Which part do you admire most Fr. Jenkins?  His support for killing babies by abortion or his support for destroying embryos via embryonic stem cell research?

Notre Dame President Sits on Board of Directors of Pro-Abortion, Pro-Contraception Organization

2272 Formal cooperation in an abortion constitutes a grave offense. The Church attaches the canonical penalty of excommunication to this crime against human life. "A person who procures a completed abortion incurs excommunication latae sententiae," "by the very commission of the offense," and subject to the conditions provided by Canon Law. The Church does not thereby intend to restrict the scope of mercy. Rather, she makes clear the gravity of the crime committed, the irreparable harm done to the innocent who is put to death, as well as to the parents and the whole of society.
