Add Archbishop Beltran to Our Thank-You List

The Catholic church in Oklahoma speaks with one voice: Notre Dame, rescind Mr. Obama's invitation and honorary doctorate!

Archbishop Eusebius J. Beltran of Oklahoma City has sent a letter to University of Notre Dame President John Jenkins in which he says that “Notre Dame University has certainly turned against the Catholic Church,” and that he is “appalled, disappointed, and scandalized” by the school's honoring of President Obama.

Beltran’s letter joins a chorus of people expressing their disagreement with the invitation and honoring of a president at odds with the Catholic Church's teachings.

I love how the archbishop concludes his letter:

"May Our Lord and Savior and Giver of Life bless you during this penitential season of Lent."

Subtle, yet pointed.

Thank you, Archbishop, for joining Bishop Slattery in this effort to prevent Notre Dame from committing the sin of false witness against Christian principles.
