The problem with this is that Ms. Glendon would have had all of five minutes to do so, the total length of her acceptance speech. I think she's articulated her principles quite clearly and directly in her refusal letter, and President Obama has to know of her letter. Her views on the matter likely got more attention than if she had accepted the medal. <br /><br />Also, she stated that a commencement address is an entirely inappropriate venue in which to address President Obama's horrendous abortion record, and that this would be unfair to the graduates who should be celebrating a joyous occasion. College life is certainly meant for the discussion of major societal issues, but commencement day is not.Janellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10925629626583274437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19680942.post-39310331691376443772009-05-05T00:37:00.000-04:002009-05-05T00:37:00.000-04:00If Obama had been invited to a debate with Glendon...If Obama had been invited to a debate with Glendon on the issue of the murder of babies it would have been the right move to invite and for her to accept. However, this invite was a direct slap in the face of the bishops, especially the bishop for that dioceses. She was right to reject the invite especially when she was clearly being used by Jenkins to deflect the rightous anger of faithful Catholics including over 50 bishops. To honor the worst abortion president in history is a disgrace.Gretahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11277481992746685122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19680942.post-75805140613158255662009-05-01T21:30:00.000-04:002009-05-01T21:30:00.000-04:00I as many Catholics have many mixed emotions on th...I as many Catholics have many mixed emotions on this ongoing Notre Dame saga. After placing much thought on this, you are right in your argument. I came across a quote from Pope Felix III that best describes why you are right.<br /><br /><br />"Not to oppose error is to approve it, and not to defend truth is to suppress it, and indeed to neglect to confound evil men, when we can do it, is no less a sin than to encourage them."<br />- Pope St. Felix IIIJuanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13157072422734868565noreply@blogger.com
