The Catholic Church has to put an end to this.
(CNSNews.com) – The University of Notre Dame, which has joined other Catholic groups in suing the Obama administration over its contraception mandate, is nevertheless inviting President Barack Obama to speak at the university before Election Day.
“The University of Notre Dame’s president, Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., and student body president Brett Rocheleau have joined in inviting both President Barack Obama and Republican presidential nominee Gov. Mitt Romney to speak at the University during the fall election campaign,” the school said in a press release on Monday.
The Catholic school sparked outrage in May 2009 when it invited Obama to deliver the commencement address and receive an honorary degree. More than 100,000 people signed a petition in an unsuccessful attempt to stop the address by a politician who supports abortion.
In the three years since his first visit to Notre Dame, President Obama has announced his support for same-sex “marriage.” And to the dismay of many Catholics, he is requiring all health insurance plans to cover female surgical sterilization and all birth control drugs and devices approved by the FDA, including drugs which can attack an unborn child before and after implantation in the mother’s womb.
