"Fr. Jenkins Will Probably Lose His Job": Nine More Bishops Make 42 against ND Scandal

Bishop Olmsted says Fr. Jenkins is disobedient to USCCB

Dear Fr. Jenkins,

I am saddened and heavy of heart about your decision to invite President Obama to speak at Notre Dame University and even to receive an honorary degree.

It is a public act of disobedience to the Bishops of the United States. Our USCCB June 2004 Statement "Catholics in Political Life" states: "The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions." No one could not know of the public stands and actions of the president on key issues opposed to the most vulnderable human beings.

John Paul II said, "Above all, the common outcry, which is justly made on behalf of human rights - for example, the right to health, to home, to work, to family, to culture - is false and illusory if the right to life, the most basic and fundamental right and the condition for all other personal rights, is not defended with the maximum determination."

I pray that you come to see the grave mistake of your decision, and the way that it undercuts the Church's proclamation of the Gospel of Life in our day.

Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted
Diocese of Phoenix

University of Notre Dame: Fr. Jenkins, please reconsider!

In a March 25 letter to the President of the University of Notre Dame in South Bend, Ind., the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) has registered its vehement opposition at his decision to have our nation’s president speak at the commencement and receive a Doctor of Laws degree from the institution.

The following letter was sent to Fr. John Jenkins yesterday, Feast of the Annunciation and Incarnation of the Word.

Dear Fr. Jenkins,

It is with great perplexity and grief that I write to express my affliction at your decision to have our nation’s president speak at Notre Dame.

As you know, abortion is a sin that clamors for a Divine Nuremberg since it is a sin that only finds modern historical parallels in the atrocities committed by the cohorts of Communism and Nazism. Whether each and every pro-abortion individual understands this clearly or not in his conscience does not alter the calamitous reality of this fact. Thus, I am perplexed and appalled that a priest of Holy Mother Church and president of one of America’s most outstanding and emblematic Catholic universities would invite a manifestly pro-abortion president to give the commencement address and receive an honorary Doctor of Laws degree. This places me in the lamentable position of having to express my vehement opposition to this invitation made to the highest dignitary of our nation.

I pray and trust that you will reconsider this invitation that causes so much scandal to the faithful and to all who oppose the “culture of death.”

Sincerely yours,
Raymond E. Drake

All I can say is this: pray for Notre Dame. If the truth is not upheld on a Catholic campuses, where will people find sound education?
