1st Friday March 3rd

Feb 13 Mon, start of 90 Days of Prayer and Fasting called Nineveh 90

Do you remember March 20, 2009?
That was the day the University of Notre Dame announced they would honor newly-elected President Obama as their Commencement speaker.
Under intense pressure, Notre Dame President Fr. John Jenkins called the invitation a “catalyst for dialogue.” He noted that Presidents of both political parties had spoken in the past, and that the invitation was in no way an endorsement of President Obama’s well known hostility to Catholic teaching on the sanctity of life.

Will Notre Dame continue their tradition and invite President Trump?
If Obama was ok, why not Trump?
P.S. Last month Philadelphia Archbishop Charles Chaput seemed to agree saying: “Notre Dame takes pride in its tradition of welcoming to campus U.S. presidents from both parties and with very different views… In that light, the invitation [to Trump] would certainly make sense and might be fruitful in unforeseen ways. God writes straight with crooked lines.”
