How instructed Catholics view the matter:
So, Dr. Barack Obama is now an alumnus of Notre Dame. And, Our Lady Weeps for him and all who continue to be deceived by the siren song of the culture of death. The event is over but the work only begins. We need to pray for the grace of conversion for the President. Can you imagine what might happen if Dr. Barack Obama of Notre Dame was converted and recognized the truth concerning the inviolable dignity of every human life, which includes our smallest neighbors? It can happen. As I prayed the Holy Rosary today I prayed these words attributed to Bernard of Clairvaux:
“Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy protection, implored thy help, or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me”. The intercession of the Mother of God is extremely powerful!
I believe that the events which led up to this commencement will go down in history as the beginning of a New Catholic Action in America. Our Bishops must meet and deal with what just occurred. We need their immediate and decisive pastoral and corrective action concerning the very nature and obligations of all Catholic Colleges and Universities. The confusion arising out of the opportunistic use of piecemeal quotes from Catholic Social Doctrine to promote the Culture of Death and the use and abuse of Catholic platforms to promote this error has gone on for too long.
Curiously enough, I do believe he will be converted – freed from the poison of Jeremiah Wright, Obama is now in a position where orthodoxy has its chance. We must pray for him – that the father of those two delightful girls comes to understand the truth of the matter. It might not happen while he’s President, but I believe it will happen, in the by and by.
