'A Sin'

There’s been quite an uproar since President Obama was invited to give the commencement address at Notre Dame. For me, the mere fact that the president has agreed to give a speech is not the problem. What troubles me more is the honorary law degree the university plans to bestow on him. THAT’S the problem.

Notre Dame’s President Father John Jenkins rests his case in favor of the invitation to President Obama on the argument that the school is honoring the office of the president; the school is not endorsing his policy views, particularly on abortion.
