The former US Amabassador to the Holy See, Mary Ann Glendon, was to receive the Laetare Medal (conferred by Notre Dame), but she announced that she will decline accepting the medal due to her concerns about Obama delivering the commencement address at the university. In a letter to the school president, she expressed her dismay at the school's compromising of its principles and its rejection of criticism by the nation's Bishops. The former Harvard Law professor said that it was disturbing that the university would invite Obama to speak in view of his clear public stand against Catholic principles on key moral issues.
Would that our nation might have more people like Glendon who stand on principle rather than political correctness. Kudos to you, Miss Glendon. God bless you.
