ND Response has received official permission to host a prayerful and constructive demonstration on the campus of the University of Notre Dame on the weekend of Commencement. As students of this University, we invite all those interested in respectfully and constructively standing alongside us as we give witness to Notre Dame’s Catholic identity and affirm the sanctity of life. We have posted below a schedule for Commencement weekend. Please stay tuned to this page for further details as we get closer to Commencement.

Psalm 33:12
"Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord; and the people whom he hath chosen for his own inheritance."
It seems harsh to stain a day that should be so joyful for the graduates with such a controversial selection.

BO observed the national day of prayer behind closed doors so that nobody could see him facing Mecca! This man has been in favor of infanticide his entire political career!He is a progressive.Progressives do not believe in God,and therefore do not believe in natural rights such as the right of the unborn to be born alive!

Just have a student of two pull the plug on his almighty TELEPROMPTER . . . he'll stumble all over himself.

It seems to me that the students should have had a say before the decision to invite Obama to thier Graduation was made!! I wonder how many will no longer feed the Alumni Association because of this Biden like GAFF
Nick
I wonder what the students and alumni would do if Columbia University invited President Bush to speak at their graduation ceremony?

Just watched the video and looked at the site. Students and Alumnus could all stand backwards while he speaks and receives this honorary degree. It would sure be telling if a majority did this.
Annie B
that was my immediate thought - although you could be sure the main stream media would just not report that or show it
Rick Johnson
Hi Annie B. Just read your comment to my lovely wife. Her response was, "Yep, they would protect him".

While I am not a catholic, I applaud those students and faculty willing to stand up to the obamunists. It's about time that we use the same liberal tactics that they have used for so long. It's about time that they get a taste of their own medicine. If it was my graduation, when "the messiah" got up, I would also get up and turn my back to him and remain standing.

Don't count on seeing a stadium full of empty seats...if the grads and alums stay away, they'll all be filled with paid ACORN shills. That, and the compliant media will seat them all together and rely on "tight shots"--giving the impression that the arena is filled with adoring (and "enchanted") obamatards.
Rick Johnson
Speaking of ACORN shills. Did you see Beck yesterday? The head shill for ACORN was on and Glenn fed him his lunch. It was absolutely fitting!
cecil
yes, but beck fell for his trap... when off camera and ranting,,, beck should never have mentioned it on camera unless they have a video of it,,, for sure acorn will claim it never happened and use sipits of glenns video to show hes a black hater,, racist,,,, and stupid,,,, watch for the attacks on utube and advertizing
Don in Kansas
I will be watching this on TV. I would not miss it. I am expecting half the seats to be empty. I would love to see half the people walk out when Obama is presented his honorary degree or stands to speak. Perhaps people could stand and turn their back to him. Let the Revolution for Life begin.

As a recent alum, i am terribly embarassed by the administration's invitation to honor the most antilife president in our history. I am however extremely proud of all those students displaying the true spirit of Our Lady's University. Do not compromise your priniciples on what is right. Go Irish!

Anyone truly offended should just stay home and let the University mail your paperwork to you. The biggest nationally visible impact any of you could possibly have would be for the cameras to look out onto thundreds or thousands of empty seats where the students normally sit. Let "Buckwheat" speak to empty chairs.

For those of you saying Obama is a Christian, He was a Christian for election purposes only. He's the living embodiment of AntiChrist, using the concept of Christ to advance his personal ambitions no matter how non christian they may be.

One sure way to solve our problem with this mutant,,,,,,,impeach him !!!!
Naybob
Insane. How many of you could even FIND Notre Dame on a map? All Notre Dame is to 99 percent of Americans is a FOOTBALL TEAM, and you're up in arms like Obama took a swing at the Pope or something!
Let Obama speak. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these grads, a day they''ll remember forever. DON'T RUIN IT FOR THEM!
Anonymous
Naybob sounds like you report for the media. You must love the Manchurian candidate! Let's hope the seats are empty
for the anti-Christ want-a-be

Crawl back under your rock you brainwashed liberal. When all hell breaks loose because of BO's Socialistic agenda, you'll be the first to complain.
Redman
Maybe the students feel his speech at their graduation will ruin it for them. Remember it was not the students who invited him.
theresa
It is too late to uninvite the President, that would be rude crude etc. However, it is not to late to consider a replacement for Fr. Jenkins. As for those who object to Catholics protesting Obama's receiving an honorary degree consider this If the duly elected representatives of this Nation are not willing to protect the right to life why trust them with our liberty
USN
Obama will be the only infidel to give a commencement address to ND. That should make all the Socialist profs and students happy. The sooner we can get rid of that mistake in the White House the better off our nation will be.
Anonymous
I am soooooooooooooooooooooooooo unsurprised.
Catholic voters have/will always support pro abortion pro homosexual liberal democrats since I can remember and they always will.
In fact the far majority of Catholics voted for Obama. Why shouldn't they welcome Obama?
He should at least go there to thank the Catholic church for their support for the democratic party.
I'm just happy bto see that the true colors of the Catholic church are finally being shown.

"Give this site free hits! We'll pretend to not editorialize."
Wow, does it get any more un-journalistic than this? Why don't you just craft our response for us too?
Karl
I stand with the students - and Obama should have the respect not to attend. He is no Christian.
liz
obama is arrogant & narcicistic, he would never have any respect for anyone or their ideals, it would have to advance his socialistic agenda. he is no christian, i consider him, if he could practice medicine, an abortionist. his neglect of national prayer day was a good example of his being secular and a christian would welcome getting involved with prayer.
Anonymous
Who are you to judge?
Dawn
I couldnt agree more Karl...he should stay away...or Father Jenkins and the Board should recind the invitation

This is such an unnecessary fight. Jesus gave audience to the devil himself (remember the temptation), and, what, you think the students and teachers at ND can't handle hearing Our Christian President speak for a bit? If Obama had declined the invitation you people would have a problem with that too, saying he will not go to a 'christian' place. He will not be able to do anything you will approve of. If Obama put Dr. James Dobson on the bench, enforced a Christian prayer in the public schools, and made a law that required every American to own a gun... you would still hate him, because that's what you Choose to do, hate and fear. If you really embraced Christianity, you would not be so scared.
Seljo
No, Jesus did not "give audience to the devil himself," he rebuked him. Three times, no less! I fear you already knew that and chose to be less than sincere anyway. Using your logic, Christ should bowed down and worshiped the tempter. By your logic, Christ just "chose to hate and fear" because he pointed out the other's wrong.
As for "Christian prayer in school," this is a PRIVATE school.
As for "Our Christian President," can you tell me which church, or churches, he has attended since being in Washington? The last one I know he attended was infamous for "hate and fear."
Lastly,
Redman
If you don't stand for something you will fall for anything. Liberals prove this point day after day. Believing some guy in Washington cares about your problems. If he cared about our country he might help your problems, unfortunately he only cares for himself and his POWER. Believing Al Gore, Oh yea we should, he such a great scientist he invented the internet. Wake up and pull your head out of your ass, individual freedom and responsibility is what made us a great nation. The government only takes freedom and responsibility away from people. Every time we agree to let a person who does not hold our beliefs speak at us, as an authority, we give them credence. The same reason we should not talk to dictators. This is why I agree with the students.
JustSayin
Did he steal the presidency? I suppose ALL those Democrats elected to the House and Senate stole their offices too? The majority of the nation wanted Republicans to govern them, but overwhelmingly voted Democrats into office instead. Why do you think Americans can't think for themselves? Why do you want our democratically elected officials to be thought of as dictators? Why spread hate and fear? Why do you hate America?

Horse Puckey! This gives tacit approval to Obama's agenda. While it is understandable to have a new president speak, it is tradition, it quite another to bestow honor on him. Further more Christianity is about love, first and foremost,but it also about fear as well. As in the wrath of God! You don't get to selectively choose the parts of the Bible that suit your needs. Also if he was all those things you listed you wouldn't like him. Be honest. If Dobson were put on the bench you would have a fit!!
Dawn
He is not a Christian President and it is not about being Christian or not it is about definding the view of the right to life, if you have been following, which I doubt you do, you would understand the fact this is a Catholic School, that teaches the doctrines of the Catholic Faith and one of those is the right to life ....of which Mr. Obama is the biggest Pro=Choice president their is....in that fact alone this CATHOLIC school should not be honoring this man....they should not being allowing him to speak, so it is not the fact we are scared we are angry, that our teachings are being discarded as if they do not matter.
We are tired of innocent children being killed and Mr. Obama being the one who signed their death sentences by executive order....
Its not we cant handle it ...we dont want it...

I think you meant to title this post:
"Here's how to protest Obama's appearance at Notre Dame"

I hope more people stand up against this false prophet. He has made it clear that he believes we are not a christian nation. He was the only Illinois congressman to vote for aborting babies outside of the womb. It is only a start though, the next aborted group will be senior citizens.

over 50% of catholics voted FOR obama in '08, and now this! when is the vatican going to crack the whip on these renegades?

59% to be exact. Catholics knew he was a baby killer. I'm still trying to figure out why 59!!!!

You are so right Billy so right

Anything can happen in politics. Especially with monkey head, the guy from Indonesia, he illegal alien that claims to be a President, the guy that made all of these promises to get your vot and some haven't realized it because they are so infatuated with him being a black president that they cannot see that he just killed America. Purposely demeaning the catholic faith. Read Below:
Terrorism is, most simply, policy intended to intimidate or cause terror. It is more commonly understood as an act which (1) is intended to create fear (terror), (2) is perpetrated for an ideological goal, and (3) deliberately targets non-combatants.
Center Fire
You centered it! We have a terrorist willing to destroy America from within. And what was Air Force One "photo op" really about? Seems items 1,2, and 3 all fit!

I still don't believe Obama will be permitted to give a commencement speech
and given a Honorary Degree.
The Catholic Church is making a big mistake to let bo speak,when he is drastically contrary to our teachings.
This will be a betrayal of our core principles and in direct violation of the Bishops.
If he does speak I may have to excommunicate myself from this APOSTATE church.
The apostate church will follow the anti-christ to perdition.
