Joe Biden and Warren Rudman are exceptional individuals...but not exceptionally good!
As we trudge towards the Church of Relativism, formerly known as the University of Notre Dame, and their commencement ceremony which will afford the extreme anti LIFE President a forum and more amazingly an Honorary Degree the soap opera (if only it were fiction) continues...
Father Jenkins and his dutiful dunce Father McBrein preside over the institution with a Catholic Theology that resembles a MAD comic book to the reality of Church Theology. Yet, despite the steady move towards Relativism and the continued decline in the lay understanding of the Catholic Church, we need to look back a little, just enough to see the underpinnings of how we got here...
Our current Vice President, yes the Vice Plagiarizer, who once was a laughing stock of gaffes and disingenuous statements has risen to the highest echelon of power. His entertaining mouth besides, he is a testament of the lowering virtue of American Politics. Yet, perhaps nothing can explain who this man really is more than the following exchange with Warren Rudman. Rudman was the architect of deceit perpetrated upon President George H.W. Bush, the 'Judas of Life' and the Pilate of Death.
Rudman was the bag man for the Devil...he delivered the goods, hoodwinked the President and did so with glee...David Souter is retiring now as the pure example of what the LEFT stands for...Relativism.
The Notre Dame Scandal is a microcosim of what is at stake...Does the University grant standing for the issue of CHOICE to KILL, which in turn gives cover for lay Catholics to practice Relativist moral applications in their personal lives...or...Does the University stand for the unborn Child as the Bishops and Church demand.
The Church of Relativism only needs cover, concealment, to manifest itself as justification for individuals to commit sin.
Notre Dame, can honor the Office of President in many ways...but honor the occupant by allowing a pro-choice (to Kill) to speak at Notre Dame is honoring the Man, not the office.
Thankfully, we have a system of government that affords us the ability to change our President, at minimum, every 8 years...the opportunity to have a President who respects LIFE, who will respect the traditions and theology of a Catholic University, and not stand in contrast to them...is not too long to wait...Notre Dame is shameful.
Below is an exerp from a column by Dr. Paul Kengor...
“You were right about him ... you were right!"
From a new column by Dr. Paul Kengor:
Rudman had pushed the Souter nomination. He ensured liberal colleagues that Souter was their guy. Rudman, a pro-choice Republican, had been Souter’s boss at the New Hampshire office of attorney general. He privately concluded that Souter would not vote against Roe. Rudman’s reasons, which he acknowledged only after he left the Senate, ranged from the legal to humanitarian: Given that Souter was “a compassionate human being,” averred Rudman, he would naturally support continued legalization of abortion—which has produced the deaths of over 40 million unborn babies since 1973.
But Rudman’s allies on the Democratic side weren’t so sure. And Rudman had to walk a fine line, since his pro-life president wanted a pro-life justice. So, Rudman quietly sought to assuage liberals. He urged them to trust him.
That silent trust was critical, since Souter’s position on abortion had to be dealt with stealthily. In fact, it was handled so delicately that the nominee’s true thinking was apparently unknown even to the White House.
Alas, with Casey v. Planned Parenthood, America had its answer, as Souter authorized the sanctity of Roe v. Wade.
As fate would have it, on that same day Senator Rudman and Senator Joe Biden bumped into each other at the train station, not in Washington, DC but in Wilmington, Delaware.
“At first, I didn’t see Joe; then I spotted him waving at me from far down the platform,” Rudman later recorded in his memoirs, Combat: Twelve Years in the U.S. Senate. “Joe had agonized over his vote for David, and I knew how thrilled he must be. We started running through the crowd toward each other, and when we met, we embraced, laughing and crying.”
An ecstatic Biden wept tears of joy, telling Rudman over and over: “You were right about him [Souter]! ... You were right!”
The two men were so jubilant, so giddy—practically dancing—that Rudman said onlookers thought they were crazy: “[B]ut we just kept laughing and yelling and hugging each other because sometimes, there are happy endings.”
It was sheer bliss: Roe v. Wade had been saved; it was alive. The two senators, liberal Democrat and liberal Republican, were so overcome that they sobbed. It was the most joyous moment.
Thanks to David Souter, Rudman celebrated: “The combined efforts of the Reagan and Bush administrations and the religious right to overthrow Roe had been defeated, probably for good.”
I have long known how callous and insensitive to the realities of TRUTH, FAITH and LIFE liberals are...but to see it expressed in such a way, is..well,...too amazingly crude.
The utter ugliness of these men, celebrating like Mengela at one of his hidieous, monsterous expirements is sickening. To celebrate the usurpation of the Right to Life of an unborn child by them, is almost too much to comprehend. It is one thing to want Choice (to kill) to survive, but to dance about and cry tears of joy...well, that is as low as a human can sink...
