President Obama at Notre Dame:

We must decide how to save God's creation from a changing climate that threatens to destroy it…

But, there is no need to save the thousands of unborn children who are killed by abortion each year in the United States.

Again Mr. Obama:

Let's honor the conscience of those who disagree with abortion...

What if President Lincoln said: Let's honor the conscience of those who agree with slavery...

 And further:

For if there is one law that we can be most certain of, it is the law that binds people of all faiths and no faith together...It is, of course, the golden rule — the call to treat one another as we wish to be treated.

Would everyone who wishes his or her mother aborted her or him please stand up.

To quote another great American, Benjamin Franklin: Words may show a man's wit, but actions his meaning.

At its 2004 general meeting, the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops approved a statement that said, “The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.”

According to the South Bend Tribune, Dr. Richard Yanikoski, president of the Association of Catholic Colleges & Universities said: "It is clear to me that there is a degree of ambiguity in the bishops' guidelines issued in 2004,"

This seems very clear to me.  Catholic educational institutions, like most educational institutions, tend to be on the liberal side of most issues.  If Dr. Richard Yanikoski thinks honoring someone who is pro-abortion is appropriate, he should not be president of the ACCU, and any member institutions who agree with his stance should drop the concept of being Catholic from all public statements and publications.

President Obama will not attend a large Catholic prayer breakfast the morning after the National Day of Prayer.

Notre Dame is honoring him with an honorary degree.

Makes one wonder what it means.
