America is in the midst of a raging cultural and spiritual war. Forces of Good, Light, Conservatism and a Judeo-Christian Worldview daily battle the forces of Evil, Darkness, Socialism, False Religions and Philosophies. A Good Choice is on the frontlines exposing evil across America’s political and social spectrum.

To the Board of Trustees:
When I took holy vows as a priest, I had high hopes and deep desires to serve Christ and His Church with valor, and without watering in fidelity.
Regrettably, I have failed in my duty as a priest, and brought much scandal and confusion to the faithful.
.My decision to acquiesce to the urging of others to invite President Obama to speak at our 2009 commencement - even though I knew he was openly defiant of our Lord's commandment, "Thou shalt not murder," and that as President he has personally authorized the shedding of innocent blood in America and around the world - shows that my moral compass has been badly damaged.
It is clear that I do not possess the internal fortitude to resist the machinations of those who promote child-killing, and who seek to tear apart Christ's beloved bride. I am not fit to lead this institution in the battles to defend God's innocents, and Catholic orthodoxy.
After much reflection, as an act of contrition before our Lord, His Church, Our Lady, the holy men who founded Notre Dame, and the million of innocent children who have been slaughtered by abortion, I hereby tender my resignation as President of Notre Dame University, effective immediately.
Please pray for me.
Father John I Jenkins, CSC
Compromising Irish Throw in the Towel for Poltical Correctness “. . .Father Jenkins is a member of the board of directors of Millennium Promise, an organization ostensibly organized to fight poverty. A closer look exposes a darker agenda. One of Millennium Promise's major initiatives is Millennium Villages, a joint project with the United Nations Development Program and Columbia University's Earth Institute that promotes "reproductive rights" as a solution to poverty in the Third World, especially in Africa.ND’S BOARD OF TRUSTEES
“In a chapter on "Maternal and Child Health" in the June 2008 Millennium Villages Handbook, one of the organization's "core interventions" is listed as "abortion services." The handbook states: "In countries where abortion is legal, safe abortion services in controlled settings by skilled practitioners should be established." To make abortion more accessible in remote areas, the action plan advises that abortion services need to be expanded to the village level. In a subsection of the handbook titled "Quick Impact Initiatives for Gender," one of the "strategic priorities" is to "expand access to family planning and contraceptive information and services." Father Jenkins refused to comment to The Washington Times, but surely he knows that abortion and artificial contraceptives are prohibited by the Catholic Church . . .”
“In conclusion, a review of the Board of Trustees at Notre Dame does NOT reveal a particularly strong Catholic identity. There are board members whose actions and associations put them in a position directly at odds with Church teaching and in line with the Obama administration. At the Notre Dame board, we see a group of well-connected well-heeled individuals from all sectors of society, and at the most prominent levels. Taking a stand against inviting the President of the United States would likely jeopardize membership in the elite club where they travel. Therefore it is highly unlikely that there will be any movement from within the board to rescind invitation to President Obama.”In his article Walker identifies several ND alumni as having corrupt Chicago political ties. Furthermore, Walker categorizes a number of Board of Trustees as follows:
Dr. Alan Keyes, who is in a South Bend jail at the protest in South Bend, thought that the protest may turn what was meant for evil (the Soetoro a/k/a Obama visit to Notre Dame) to good (Catholics and Christians who may have voted for Soetoro alias Obama believing that he was Pro-Life now will clearly see, through the protest, that he is truly radically Pro-Death.)

SOUTH BEND, Ind., May 14 Christian Newswire/ --Below are the words of the honorary degree to be given to Barack Obama by Notre Dame.
After that are the words of John Paul II, which show that Notre Dame has contradicted Church teaching by her words and actions. Americans from every stripe will be appalled and embarrassed by the sycophantic tone of this degree.
Here are the words, exactly as given.
TEXT OF THE HONORARY DEGREE"At the 164th Commencement The May Exercises The University of Notre Dame Confers the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, on the 44th president of the United States, whose historic election opened a new era of hope in a country long divided by its history of slavery and racism. A community organizer who honed his advocacy for the poor, the marginalized and the worker in the streets of Chicago, he now organizes a larger community, bringing to the world stage a renewed American dedication to diplomacy and dialogue with all nations and religions committed to human rights and the global common good. Through his willingness to engage with those who disagree with him and encourage people of faith to bring their beliefs to the public debate, he is inspiring this nation to heal its divisions of religion, culture, race and politics in the audacious hope for a brighter tomorrow.
"On Barack H. Obama, Washington, District of Columbia"Here are excerpts of Evangelium Vitae, penned by John Paul II. Look at how JP II describes "the common good;" this degree shows clearly that Notre Dame is betraying the teaching of the Church, and betraying the human life it is charged to defend. Following that are quotes from Randall Terry and Dr. Alan Keyes.
POPE JOHN-PAUL II
"It is impossible to further the common good without acknowledging and defending the right to life, upon which all the other inalienable rights of individuals are founded and from which they develop... Only respect for life can be the foundation and guarantee of the most precious and essential goods of society, such as democracy and peace." (John Paul II, Evangelium Vitae 101)
"Laws which authorize and promote abortion and euthanasia are therefore radically opposed not only to the good of the individual but also to the common good; as such they are completely lacking in authentic juridical validity. Disregard for the right to life, precisely because it leads to the killing of the person whom society exists to serve, is what most directly conflicts with the possibility of achieving the common good." (John Paul II Evangelium Vitae 72)
RANDALL TERRY
“. . . This degree hovers between juvenile, and of the spirit shown by a teenage girl who is about to throw away her honor with an abusive man. The fact that Obama promotes abortion around the world makes him the adversary -- not the champion -- of the 'global common good.'
"We are begging for a Bishop, or a Vatican official to bring this scandal to an end, and keep Obama from speaking at Notre Dame."
DR. ALAN KEYES
"This idolatrous language confirms the scandalous nature of the invitation and honorary degree being given to Barack Obama; it not only honors evil, it exalts and worships it."
CONCLUSION
“. . . Clearly President Obama's actions to spread child-killing by abortion around the world have shown that he has betrayed the Spirit and the Law of God and the Church."More at www.StopObamaNotreDame.com
“In defense of the unborn, we wish to express our deepest opposition to Reverend John I. Jenkins, C.S.C.s invitation of President Barack Obama to be the University of Notre Dame’s principal commencement speaker and the recipient of an honorary degree. Our objection is not a matter of political partisanship, but of President Obama’s hostility to the Catholic Church’s teachings on the sanctity of human life at its earliest stages. Further, the University’s decision runs counter to the policy of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops against honoring pro-choice politicians. We cannot sit by idly while the University honors someone who believes that an entire class of human beings is undeserving of the most basic of all legal rights, the right to live.”

Georgetown Says It Covered Over Name of Jesus to Comply
With White House RequestWednesday, April 15, 2009
By Edwin Mora
(CNSNews.com) - Georgetown University says it covered over the monogram “IHS”--symbolizing the name of Jesus Christ—because it was inscribed on a pediment on the stage where President Obama spoke at the university on Tuesday and the White House had asked Georgetown to cover up all signs and symbols there . . .

“The First Amendment to the Constitution reads: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.” This specifically means that government is “hands off” on anything that restricts religion, freedom of speech, the right to assemble peaceably and to petition the Government for grievances. It means that religion and free speech have free reign—it can be practiced anywhere, anytime, especially on public property, because Congress cannot restrict it and if the other branches try they are violating the Constitution . . .

The following action alert comes from FRC Action. It addresses the recent statements made about Christianity and America by the alleged President Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack Obama.'
Let President Obama know America is a nation of Judeo-Christian values
“At a press conference in Turkey, President (Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack) Obama asserted that the United States is not a Judeo-Christian nation.
“"One of the great strengths of the United States," the President said, "is ... we have a very large Christian population -- we do not consider ourselves a Christian nation or a Jewish nation or a Muslim nation."
“Our nation's Founders in 1776 recognized the importance of faith in the founding of our nation when they approved the Declaration of Independence with its four direct religious acknowledgments of God as
of the new nation.
“In fact throughout the American Founding, Congress frequently appropriated money for missionaries and for religious instruction, a practice that Congress repeated for decades after the passage of the Constitution and the First Amendment.
“Please stand with our nation's Founders, past Presidents from each political party, and other Americans who believe that the United States is a Judeo-Christian nation by birth."
Sign the petition which is addressed to the person currently occupying the office of President of the United States, letting him know that you disagree with his recent misrepresentation to the world of America’s true Judeo-Chrsitan heritage and values.
