Priests of Founding Order Object to ND

Ten Holy Cross priests write a letter to ND, saying the school risks its "true soul" and will damage the integrity of the institution if it holds to its invitation to President Obama. AP story. The letter was published in the Notre Dame Observer. More here. AP:

Four days before his Notre Dame speech, Obama is set to deliver a much less controversial commencement address at Arizona State University. But the public school in Tempe is denying the president something he's getting at South Bend: an honorary degree.
"It's our practice to recognize an individual for his body of work, somebody who's been in their position for a long time," Sharon Keeler, an ASU spokeswoman, told The Associated Press. "His body of work is yet to come. That's why we're not recognizing him with a degree at the beginning of his presidency."

Some rare candor. 

Notre Dame disgraces itself--abject before secular moral relativism, and even on academic grounds suspect.
