Text of Notre Dame's Honorary Doctorate Degree

from Christian Newswire

"At the 164th Commencement The May Exercises The University of Notre Dame Confers the degree of Doctor of Laws, honoris causa, on the 44th president of the United States, whose historic election opened a new era of hope in a country long divided by its history of slavery and racism. A community organizer who honed his advocacy for the poor, the marginalized and the worker in the streets of Chicago, he now organizes a larger community, bringing to the world stage a renewed American dedication to diplomacy and dialogue with all nations and religions committed to human rights and the global common good. Through his willingness to engage with those who disagree with him and encourage people of faith to bring their beliefs to the public debate, he is inspiring this nation to heal its divisions of religion, culture, race and politics in the audacious hope for a brighter tomorrow.

On Barack H. Obama, Washington, District of Columbia"

Oh yeah.

How fortunate it is that the enlightened president of Notre Dame, along with a majority of his faculty, see beyond such trivialities as Messiah Obama's support for hate crime legislation, for unfettered public funding for abortion on demand, and for dictatorial control of the economy (soon to include all corporate religious structures). These are the kinds of change he represents; this is the change we can believe in!
