Fr Jenkins 'Unmoved' - Oh Really

It isn't news to you, but Mary Ann Glendon, the Learned Hand Professor of Law at Harvard Law School and U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican from 2007 to 2009, has declined Notre Dame’s Laetare Medal.

And then there's this.

But the American Papist reports that Fr Jenkins is unmoved by all this happening in one week's time.

Apparently, I Won is disappointed. Alas.

Here is my take. I Won may just be discovering that you can't schmooze your way through the public realm banking on your survival skills of charm, charisma, and a relativism that helped you through a hellish boyhood and made you a champion of postmodern neo-pagans.

In other words: Catholics care, Mr. President. And that can cost millions.

Good follow through on these fast breaking developments. Side note: I like your type set in this post.

I am not sure about your take though: one who is adapt at Abuse of Language - Abuse of Power is only going to relish his opportunity at ND to spread his good news, the message of relativism and to win over more converts - Catholic or not for at this point it doesn't matter to him - but I am sure once the speech is over he will have gained in popularity!

As you reported in this link here: "The fact that this effort is necessary is unfortunate. However, alumni and supporters of Notre Dame have little other recourse than to protest with their pocketbooks."

I don't believe that the spirit mentioned above is the same as the martyr's spirit. If it is, well maybe... but to I Wun... it will have to be much Much MUCH more to sway him from his destiny.
