The battle for the survival of the Catholic Church in America is heating up, and the faculty at the formerly Catholic University of Notre Dame has lined up on the side of those who would keep Roman Catholic Bishops from teaching Church doctrine.
On April 14, Daniel Jenky, the Catholic Bishop of Peoria Illinois, delivered a homily that has stirred the resentment of Americans for Separation of Church and State, (ASCS) a rabidly leftist group who would extinguish 1st Amendment freedom of speech rights for Catholic priests.
Not content to merely complain about Bishop Jenky’s comparison of Barack Obama to Hitler and Stalin, ASCS has asked the Internal Revenue Service to take away the Diocese Peoria’s tax exempt status.
Speaking in his own church, Bishop Jenky said, “Hitler and Stalin, at their better moments, would just barely tolerate some churches remaining open, but would not tolerate any competition with the state in education, social services, and health care. In clear violation of our First Amendment rights, Barack Obama – with his radical, pro-abortion and extreme secularist agenda, now seems intent on following a similar path…. This fall, every practicing Catholic must vote, and must vote their Catholic consciences, or by the following fall our Catholic schools, our Catholic hospitals, our Catholic Newman Centers, all our public ministries — only excepting our church buildings – could easily be shut down.”
That such blunt truths would infuriate those in the ASCS is a given because by definition, the American Left hates our Constitution for the individual freedoms it provides. Nevertheless, what happened next underscores the very sad state of affairs at the once Catholic University of Notre Dame.
A group of fifty five faculty members have signed a letter asking the school’s president, Father John Jenkins (who gave Obama an honorary Law degree and had peaceful protestors including priests arrested), to remove Bishop Jenky from the University’s Board of Fellows. Moreover, the letter (which referred Bishop Jenky as “Jenky”) requests a public apology from the Bishop as the only way he could remain as a university Board of Fellows member.
Lining up with Americans for Separation of Church and State against a Catholic Bishop is a new low, even for Notre Dame. One can only hope this once great school can one day cleanse itself of the stink of Barack Obama it so willingly wallows in.

I’m not a lawyer – but, then, neither are Odumbo and his not-any-better half – but haven’t those 45 University of Notre Dame employees just given cause sufficient for getting themselves fired?
Considering the tremendous need for cutting down the costs of higher education, the university has just been given a wonderful gift in the form of perfect justification for a pretty hefty reduction-in-force among the enormously overpaid tenured faculty.
Sorry! Make that fifty-five tenured leftie-lusers.
A wonderful occasion for housecleaning in South Bend, don’tcha think?
god bless you bishop jenky,you are right on target,we the people by me love you.the truth always hurts.you are right.he is not like hitler or stalin.he is worst then both of them put together.he is ovomit/devil/hitler and is not a president.he is an ineligible/squatter in the wh.a treaonous trader and a threat to the constitution and to the american citizens.he ignored a subpoena from the georgia supreme court,that treason,and sent throops to afganistan without the approval of congress treason,s.s card is a fraud thats a felony.birth certificate is a forgery thats a felony.and has all his records sealed thats disgraceful and dispicable for a president,shows he is hiding something from the american citizens.god bless ron paul,sheriff joe and all american veterans and all american citizens.one nation under god
This is why I’m a “NONDENOM. CHIRISTIAN” !!
If anyone studies the history of Germany before Hitler took over they will see that Obama is following Hitlers game plan.
Germany was is extreme financial trouble- they needed a savior- they believed every promise from Hitler.
Obama is promises everything but only delivers the Communist Manifesto. Obama is showing a total disregard for the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
Obamacare has provisions for the Obama Black Shirts-aka Nazi Brown Shirts. There are provisions for “Concentration camps” later will come the “gas chambers” if Obama is elected to a Second term because he will declare Martial law and he won’t have to “Run for another election” as he told the Russians.
Now what is the rest of the “Master Plan” The Death of America & the US Constitution
July 4, 2009
Prediction
The Obama administration is working on the plan now to destroy this county and create a Kingdom for Obama.
The Democrats will lose control of the House of Representative in the 2010 election.
The Administration under the direction of Hillary Clinton is working on secrete agreements with Iran, Saudi Arabia, Mexico, Venezuela, George Soros and the newly released Muslim Terrorists from Guantanamo to create a world crisis before the 2012 election. Obama will declare marshal law, void the Civil Rights of all Americans, and void the 2012 election. Under Marshal Law he will Dissolve the House of Representatives and arrest opposition.
He will enlist the Illegal Immigrants who had been given citizenship by The Democrats into the New Brown Shirts of America that would be loyal to Obama and not the Constitution.
Then the NEW Holocaust will begin.
The next step will be the appointment of a young Communist Manifesto Trained ACLU lawyer As a Supreme court justice.
Then Ginsberg will resign because of health and a young Communist Manifesto Trained ACLU lawyer will be appointed as a Supreme court justice.
Liberty and Freedom have been written in blood since the time of Mosses.
Follow the dotes of Hillary, and Holder as they murder this county for King Obama.
P.S. July 4, 2010
Knowing that the liberal press has trouble selling their papers one wonders who’s paying the bills? Has the Liberal press been bought by Multi national financiers namely the Arab sheiks or other oil interests that want to destroy America because of their Muslim believe? Are they setting the editorial policies of both the papers and TV.
Because the “justice department” under Eric Holder will not enforce the Laws or the Constitution the Supreme Court should send in US Marshall’s with the help of Special Operations troops to regain control of the government for the people of this country.
God bless America Land of the Brave and Home of the Free!!!
New post script-8-18-2010.Why Obama does not care what happens in 2010. The Most terrifying man in the world-Obama.
The newest fear that has me shaking from the top of my head to the tip of my toes is that Hillary Clinton may become the next Secretary of Defense. This is the next piece in the puzzle in the master plan of Obama to become the Dictator of the US or maybe the world.
The Clinton’s have been working toward this since Bill Clinton gave the Chinese at guidance system and other dealing with them that are harmful to the US.
The Clinton’s did their best to destroy the economy and the military. If Hillary is Secretary of defense she will continue this same plan. She may even give secrets to our enemies. This will work with her secret plans with foreign powers to create an emergency that will result in Obama imposing Marshall law before the 2012 election.
From people that know Hillary, she is a tyrant, she makes Heinrich Himmler, look like an angle.
Obama has no intent to give up the RED Nuclear button in 2012.
Obama and Hillary Clinton plan to use the Mexican drug gangs as guerrilla forces to keep our police forces and National Guard occupied while they strengthen their hold on the US.
Obama is a Muslim born and educated . Islam is a fascist ideology. It has been at war with the other religions of the world for 1400 years.
God I hope and pray this never happens here but I don’t like what is going on.
My father was Austrian and it was like living with Hitler and it was beyond horrible.
I can’t even imagine living like that again EVER.
Unfortunately, our once great Catholic Universities have allowed themselves to become secularized instead of sticking to original Catholic principles. Yes, these staff should be removed and a search made for those teachers who respect our faith and the University. After Fluke, they need to clean out their employee list. Too many college professors or associates think they know it all and don’t want to comply with the basics of anything, so fire them for cause NOW! so there is summertime to locate truly vetted teachers who teach principles and objectivity. Of course the Bishops have a right to speak and Catholic Universities need to pay attention because otherwise I recommend sending students to Hillsdale College!
I could just SPIT NAILS..!! Every time someone has the COURAGE to speak out against this illegal THUG in OUR White House, the lemmings & assorted morons have to go against him/her.. simply because they can’t stand that someone else has the valor he/she is lacking..!
I’m with you. I worked for 50 years as a law abiding Christian – I taught school out of the country including the Middle East and I can tell you with total certainty that Obama and his thugs have this country where they want us – we are being watched, hounded, investigated, and threatened by him and his goons. He is so ruthless and paranoid that he set up a web site called attackwatch where his supporters are to report people who speak out against him – he and his thugs are using WHITE GUILT to get liberals to vote for him – Sharpton, Jackson, Tyler Perry, Spike Lee and others like Rev Wright use it against us —What a crazy insane tragedy this is and these people and others are using it to keep racism alive – the truth is that Sharpton Jackson, Obama, Tyler Perry, Spike Lee all are keeping it alive. They are counting on stomping your feet and screaming about black innocence and past mistreatment etc.This is another case of truly nutty reaction to valid comments made by this bishop. Don’t try putting guilt on me anymore. All of that is in the past but people like you and them want white America to feel guilty and pay and boy do we pay. My nephew psychiatrist MD guy says we are suffering in our country by a lie that keeps going and going called WHITE GUILT SYNDROME where whites are being punished. The diagnosis is for deep depression caused by voting for Obama thinking it would sooth a conscience that has been hounded on by the blacks. I for one refuse to feel guilty. We are in a pickle in this country because of this. This reaction to the bishop is just an example of the crazy thinking. I taught blacks and all races around the world and I’ll tell you that the blacks in this country have a chip on their shoulder as big as a giant Oak tree – not true in some other countries where they are trying to live and take care of themselves with dignity. Obama has his agenda and it isn’t good for America – he wants total domination. I was confirmed Catholic in Korea where I was teaching ….
I didn’t mean “people like you” I meant people like them – sorry
I’m with you,Sci. I do not have WHITE GUILT SYNDROME. I really don’t care what color Obama is…his policies are destroying this country and the Bishop is correct!!!!
The truth shall ALWAYS set you free and I am very proud of him speaking the way he feels because there is FREEDOM OF SPEECH still and that is a fact.
FREEDOM OF SPEECH is only secured for ultra left wing liberal,progressives idiots that celebrate the takeover of this once free and successful America.
2012 will bring out the vote for Omuslim . Blacks will vote for color & race. Jews will vote for liberalism over Israel. The young ,especially the women , will vote for their messiah and finally every dead person will again rise up and cast a vote because of NO voter ID.
This is the one and only chance Americans,the real ones, will get to vote but we all must get behind the GOP choice and forget our differences . If anyone runs as a third party ; We are all just subjects and screwed.
“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.”
He merely gave them a history lesson.
There has been a lot of criticism of the German churches in the 1930s because its leaders did not speak out against the creeping tyranny of Hitler and the Nazis.
“The hottest place in hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.” -Dante
So what is our excuse when we have already witnessed what comes of keeping silent in the face of tyranny?
It is our sacred duty to speak out on the evils of the Obama Administration.
“During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.”-George Orwell
Hurray for the Bishop!! Keep speaking the truth. America desperately needs to hear it! ABO in 2012!
