This controversy with Notre Dame can be made much clearer than it has been in mainstream media reports and interviews.
The Church believes that abortion is the killing of human children.
President Obama supports the killing of millions of children. Notre
Dame cannot honestly claim to represent the Church's teachings while
awarding an honor to someone participating in such extreme evil.
That's it. It's that simple. By simply understanding that the Church
perceives Obama as a powerful supporter of infanticide on a massive
scale, it becomes obvious that Notre Dame cannot honor Obama without
rejecting its Catholic identity.
