Episode Synopsis
I've heard so many skewed judgements about this issue from every angle, its excruciating...here's a variety of official and non-official conclusions published so far:Obama must be cancelled from speaking at CommencementObama can speak but he cant be given the Honorary Law Degree (that would be Catholics honoring a Heretic)Jenkins needs to be fired for not consulting the Canon Law compatible speakers ListJenkins' Bishop needs to be firedThey both need to be firedObama should take the hint and decline the event, out of respect for the ChurchThe Church has already sinned by inviting Obama, so all 1 Billion of us need to go to confession, including Benedict, with urgencyThe Pope should pre-emptively anathematize Obama before we are all doomed by the Speech actually occurring at NDI needn't go on.The damage to the Worlds "perception" of the Catholic Church was done when Obama was elected by a majority of Catholics.

Lets see what happens.Just sayin'. Subscribe in a reader
