A SHAMEFUL SCANDALOUS UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME

   

A SHAMEFUL SCANDALOUS UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME 

In pursuit of the truth - http://www.cinopsbegoneblogspot.com - Friday, March 18, 2016

 

Preface:

    There exists a critical Catholic article of Vice President Joe Biden by the The Cardinal Newman Society. Everything possible must be done to inform Catholic and other Christian voters of this shocking truthful article about  V.P. Joe Biden. Why? In case Mrs. Clinton falters, President Obama will push totally unqualified Joe Biden.

 

    Saint Pope John II would turn over in his grave. Our most modern saint wrote, "Catholic teaching and discipline are to influence all university activities  ... any official action or commitment of the University is to be in accord with its Catholic identity." The same document also prohibits honoring those "who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principals" with awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support of their actions"...

 

     The Cardinal Newman Society emphatically condemns the awarding of the Laetare Medal to Vice-President Biden. "As vice president, Biden has been a champion of the Obama administration's HHS mandate, which the U.S. bishops have opposed at every turn due to its blatant attack on religious freedom. Biden was even rebuked by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops for lying about the nature of the HHS mandate during a Vice Presidential debate in 2012."

 

    Biden has also been a strong advocate for legalizing the redefinition of marriage, and he disparaged those who opposed same-sex marriage as "homophobes"

UNIVERSITY OF NOTRE DAME TO GIVE 'MOST PRESTIGIOUS' AWARD TO PRO-ABORT JOE BIDEN

 

March 8, 2016 (CardinalNewmanSociety) - Seven years after the University of Notre Dame received worldwide criticism or its public honor to pro-abortion President Barack Obama - including more than 367,000 signatures to the online petition and public opposition by 83 American Catholic bishops - Notre Dame has once again chosen to betray the Church and its Catholic mission.

 

   Notre Dame has announced that it will bestow its 2016 Laetare Medal , the "oldest and most prestigious honor accorded to American Catholics," on pro-abortion Vice President Joe Biden. This time, however, the offense is even greater: a pro-abortion Catholic politician is being honored as one "whose genius has ennobled the arts and sciences, "illustrated the ideals of the Church" [emphasis added] and enriched the heritage of humanity."

 

    Once again, Notre Dame appeals to political consideration to justify its choice. In 2009, the University claimed that it was simply honoring whomever happened to be the sitting president, as if an arbitrary criterion for public honor should justify public scandal. Now the University has paired Biden with former Republican Speaker of the House John Boehner for honor, claiming to celebrate respectful dialogue, compromise and working for the common good" in opposition the toxic political environment of our time - yet again discounting the fact of public scandal.

 

    For faithful Catholics, ... Catholic Biden has compromised his fidelity to Church teaching on intrinsic evils far too many times in his career in the interest of political compromise.  He has publicly supported Roe v. Wade and legal abortion, legal redefinition of marriage to include same-sex couples, taxpayer funding for embryonic stem cell research, and the HHS contraception/sterilization/abortion/abortifacient mandate. ...

 

    In announcing the award, Fr. Jenkins expressed concern for "public confidence" in our government. Does Notre Dame have such concern for our Church? What effect does the University's administration think it has on the public's confidence in Catholic religious leaders and institutions when they claim fidelity to the Catholic faith, yet bestow prestigious honors on those who publicly attack the faith and potentially lead the faithful away from the Church?...

 

    In the granting of this award by Notre Dame and the laudatory statements of Fr. Jenkins, the University fosters a perception in the public, and among the students on campus, that one can be a "good" Catholics and unrepentantly contradict Church teaching in one's public life. This scandal critically harms Notre Dame's efforts to fulfill its Catholic mission as an educational institution and its responsibilities as an evangelizing arm of the Church.

MORE WISDOM FROM EMERITUS POPE BENEDICT 2

March 10th: "Co-Workers of the Truth" Meditations for Every Day of the Year, Ignatius Press, 1992

    A Christianity that believes it has no other function than to be completely in tune with the spirit of the times has nothing to say and no meaning to offer. It can abdicate without more ado.

    Those who live vigilantly in the world of today, who recognize its contradictions and its destructive tendencies - from the self-destruction of technology by the destruction of the environment to the self-destruction of society by racial and class struggle - such people do not look to Christianity for approbation but for the prophetic salt that burns, consumes, accuses, & changes.

    Nevertheless, a basic aspect of metanoia comes thereby into view - for it demands that man change if he is to be saved. It is not the ideology of adaptation that will rescue Christianity - although adaptation is still operative wherever, with sycophantic zeal or tardy courage, those institutions are criticized which in any event have become the powerless butt of world publicity(and in so doing, incidentally, have entered once again into the apostolic tradition [1 Cor 4:13]); nothing can rescue it but the prophetic courage to make its voice heard decisively and unmistakably at this very hour.

March 11th:

    

    The conversation between Jesus and the teacher of the law deals with a question that concerns all of us. How do I live as I ought? What must I do to make a success of my life?

    For that, it is not enough to earn money or to have influence. It is possible to be very rich, yet to make a failure of one's life, to make oneself and others happy? It is possible to have power, but to tear down more than one builds.

    How, then, can I learn what it means to be human? What must I do? In his question the teacher of the law mentions a prerequisite that we seldom consider nowadays: if my life in this world is to be successful, I must view if as a stepping-stone to eternal life.

    I must remember that God put me in this world for a purpose and that he will one day demand an account of what I have done with my life. There are many persons today who claim that the thought of eternal life prevents them from acting for their own good in this world.

    But the opposite is true: if we fail to keep before our eyes God's standard, the standard of eternity, then egoism is the only guidelines left us. Then each person will try to secure for himself as much as possible of this world's goods.

    He will regard everyone else as an enemy of his happiness, as one who threatens to deprive him of some good. Then greed and envy become the dominating forces in his life and poison his world. On the other hand, when we construct our lives that we do not quail before the eyes of God. then we make visible to others as well as to ourselves a glimmer of God's goodness.

    Hence the first guideline is: live not for yourself alone; live under the eye of God; in such a way that he will be pleased with you and that you will some day be eternally welcome in the company of God and his saints.

FIGURING OUT OBAMA'S NO TO "ISLAMIC TERRORISM"

FIGURING OUT OBAMA'S NO TO "ISLAMIC TERRORISM"

Why President Barrack Obama will not speak out and use the words "Islamic terrorism?

Let's check out some of President Barack Obama's advisers: The following is not normal for any United States American President to have. Again the failure of the culture of death mainstream media to inform the American people is tragic and horrendous. My people are destroyed for lack of information. It's important to double check this first story.

1. John Brennan current head of the CIA converted to Islam while stationed in Saudi Arabia. CIA director John Brennan  took his oath of office on a copy of the Constitution, not a Bible.

2. Obama's top advisor, Valerie Jarrett, is a Muslim who was born in Iran where her parents still live. Valarie Jarrett wrote her college thesis on how she wanted to change America into a Muslim friendly nation.

3. Assistant Secretary for Policy Development for Homeland Security, Arif Aikhan, is a Muslim.

4. Homeland Security Adviser, Mohammed Elibiary, is a Muslim.

5. Obama's adviser and founder of the Muslim Public Affairs Council, Salam al-Marayati, is Muslim.

6. Obama's Sharia Czar, Imam Mohamed Magid, of the Islamic Society of North America is Muslim.

7. Advisory Council on Faith-Based Neighborhood Partnerships, Eboo Patel, is a Muslim.

8. In his book Obama said, "If it comes down to it, I would side with the Muslims." The President needs to explain what he means by that.

++++++++++++

    Hillary Clinton's top adviser, Huma Abedin is a Muslim, whose mother and brother are involved in the now outlawed Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt. Congresswoman Michele Bachman was vilified and verbally tarred and feathered by Democrats when she voice her concern about Muslims in our government.

House Judiciary Committee Presses Obama Administration to Designate Muslim Brotherhood A Terrorist Group - Breitbart - February 24, 2016

"The Muslim Brotherhood's embrace of terrorism and the very real threat it poses to American lives and the national security of the U.S.A. make it long overdue for designation," House Judiciary Committee Bob Goodlatte (R-VA) said in a statement....

" The terrorist designation would require the administration prevent foreign-nationals with ties to the group from coming to the U.S. It would also mean that the Muslim Brotherhood would be subject to federal criminal prosecution and would freeze the group's assets.

"The Muslim Brotherhood continues to pose a global threat," Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL) said, "The jihadist movement actively supports and finances terrorist networks around the world, including al-Qaeda and Hamas. The United States must recognize and sanction the Muslim Brotherhood as a terrorist organization as part of our national security strategy." ...
