Let's All get on this Bandwagon.

So the University of Notre Dame has invited President Barack Obama to be the commencement speaker this coming May. The school further intends to grant him an honorary degree. This is simply wrong.

One of the first things the man does as president is to expand abortion rights and stem cell research. As Catholics, we should not appear to be rewarding that behavior.

Write to the school and demand that it rescind the invitation. Go to www.notredamescandal.com to voice your outrage. Check out www.catholicvote.org for a great take on the enormity of the whole issue. We cannot reward a man for such callousness towards human life and consider ourselves Catholic.

Remember that you can never separate morals and politics. This needs to be addressed now. Be sure that your opinion is heard.
