Liberal Catholic Graduation Speaker Did Not Listen To Obama's Speech It Appears (Updated)

Plus like many progressive Catholics she has found a sudden fear of Lay Involvement. How so not Vatican II. YES WE CAN!!!! I am afraid the days where Father Folk Mass or Sister Sandels could spread the word you are not wanted on Parish Councils and other things because he actually believed in things like Adoration, the Rosary, that messy Catechism, and other matters political or not are over.

Well I guess all that stuff about what Obama's said about not "demonizing" does not apply to some folks.

Amy Welborn has Religious Vigilantes

Update- This has caught the attention of the National Review Crowd

Ranting about Civility [Ramesh Ponnuru]
WaPo:

[T]he president of Trinity Washington University denounc[ed] the "religious vigilantism" of those who opposed Obama's visit and calling their protests "an embarrassment to all Catholics."
The remarks by Trinity President Patricia McGuire were among the speeches given at graduation ceremonies big and small across the region. . .
"The real scandal at Notre Dame today is not that the president of the United States is speaking at commencement," McGuire said. "The real scandal is the misappropriation of sacred teachings for political ends. The real scandal is the spectacle of ostensibly Catholic mobs camping out at Notre Dame for the specific purpose of disrupting the commencement address of the nation's first African American president. This ugly spectacle is an embarrassment to all Catholics. The face that Catholicism shows to our new president should be one marked with the sign of peace, not distorted in the snarl of hatred."


Read William McGurn's recent speech at Notre Dame on the topic, and judge for yourself who's snarling. McGuire's speech puts E. J. Dionne Jr.'s column today in a new light, too.
