Take a look at a great article written by Bishop David A. Zubik Pittsburgh Catholic.

Just a few quotes:
“Notre Dame — Our Lady — is a title and devotion that every Catholic holds close to heart. Which is why it is so painful that the current leadership of the university has been so sadly forgetful of its responsibility to its sacred name, and to all the faithful, by deciding to give and honorary degree to our president, who has made so clear his opposition to the church’s teaching on the sacredness of human life. It must leave Our Lady — Notre Dame- embarrassed.
“To give an honorary degree, to confer such an honor, makes the statement that the recipient of the honor reflects the mind and heart of the giver. That certainly can’t be true in this instance!…It must, indeed, embarrass Our Lady.
“The action of Notre Dame has embarrassed Our Lady and embarrassed our church.”
Please take a look at the article for yourselves. It is well-written, and contains a real challenge for each and every one of us!
