You'll recall from last May that Notre Dame University, a FORMERLY Catholic institution, sullied itself by inviting the Messiah Most Miserable to give the commencement address and to receive an "honorary" (using the term "honor" laughingly) degree.
Eighty-eight prolife activisits, at various times and locations during that period, were arrested for giving pro-life witness. Most of the arrests occurred on campus, and were done with the approval, if not the actual mandate, of Father Jenkins, the University president. While he now claims that he does not have the legal authority to have the charges dropped, common sense dictates that a request from him to do so would have great bearing on the matter and would most likely result in dismissal. Reasonable people can conclude that the courts would rather not be bothered with a myriad of tresspass cases, and would most likely welcome the request for dismissals so they could move onto other matters.
The Thomas More Society, Human Life International and Lifesite News have drawn up an online petition to ask that Father Jenkins request dismissal of the charges. We link to that petition here and ask that you sign it, and to please advise those whom you know to sign it as well. Thank you.
