As we see, politics and ass-kissing is still the order of the day in the American Church.<br /><br />Friend-Father Bechtel tells it like it is.

Musically it was a Low Mass. Just think of all the non-Catholics watching this morning who now think that's what a Catholic funeral is supposed to look like.<br /><br />Father Dave,<br /><br />I agree with you. After the Notre Dame scandal, it is hard to believe there was little opposition to the President giving a eulogy. This wasn't just a Commencement ceremony, this was a Mass.Raphaelhttp://thecatholicwatchdog.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336117984422102655.post-61547796178157442782009-08-29T19:58:53.276-04:002009-08-29T19:58:53.276-04:00Father Bechtel,

He would have gotten alot of flack from the allegid "Catholics" in this area, but he would have stood firm and resolute. Obama could have and should have given the euology somewhere else. The Liberals love their Seperation of Church and State- but only when it works to their advantage it seems.<br /><br />But- I will say this: almost every bishop in the country rightly went after Notre Dame becasue Obama spoke there. Where was the outrage this time? If the bishops were not going to speak out against this, what right did they have to go after Notre Dame? That is not fair. <br /><br />If Obama gets to Euologize in a Catholic Church, then Notre Dame is not guilty either. If O'Malley is not guilty for permitting this dabacle, then neither is the president of Notre Dame. Where were the bishops this time? The silence was deafening.<br /><br />Father Dave BechtelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1336117984422102655.post-33138194851846380422009-08-29T14:39:47.938-04:002009-08-29T14:39:47.938-04:00And which protestants!
