Bishop D’Arcy: No penalty for Notre Dame; Obama’s ‘only experience with laws' is 'anti-life laws’
April 09, 2009
Fort Wayne-South Bend Bishop John D’Arcy, the ordinary of the diocese in which the University of Notre Dame is located, has again expressed his opposition to the University of Notre Dame’s decision to award President Barack Obama an honorary degree.
“This is giving a Doctor of Laws to a person whose only experience with laws, in the state legislature and here, has been anti-life laws,” said Bishop D’Arcy in an interview with a local television station. “It's saying to the young people, 'Well, it's okay, it really doesn't matter.”
Bishop D’Arcy added that “he does not believe Notre Dame should suffer a penalty,” according to WNDU-TV.
