Emily's List Contributer Resigns From Notre Dame Board Of Trustees

Last week the news broke that Notre Dame University appointed to its Board of Trustees Roxanne Martino, a big-time contributer to Emily's List.  Thanks to the Cardinal Newman Society and the protests of thousands of Catholics, Ms. Martino has stepped down.  She stated that her resignation was in the best interests of Notre Dame.  On that point she is correct.

Our prayers are with Ms. Martino so that she reconsiders her support for baby-murder before she faces eternal judgment.  We also pray for those at Notre Dame who had invited her to the Board in the first place.  Under no circumstances do I believe that they were unaware of her contributions to Emily's List.  Therefore, either they just don't give a hoot about the murdered babies, or they themselves are supporters of baby-murder.

Faithful Catholics, your prayers and actions do make a difference.  Ora et labora!

More Shame From Notre Shame

Whew!  It's a good thing that Jenkins et al got rid of their ND88 boondoggle because they managed to put their feet in it again as this National Catholic Register article details.  They recently appointed to their Board of Trustees one Roxanne Martino, a ND alumna, a reputedly accomplished businesswoman and - oh, yes! - a big-time contributer to Emily's List.  Most people who are half awake understand Emily's List to be a cabal dedicated to the election of pro-abortion Democrat women to public office.  If you're just waking up, never fear - just look at the Emily List mission statement on their webpage; they have no bones about proclaiming their "purpose", such as it is.

When the news broke and went viral, the ND officials - including Fr Jenkins - tried to tell us that Martino, who is supposed to be a smart business person, had no idea that she contributed over $25k to an outfit whose sole, plainly-stated mission, is to get pro-abortion women elected.  But it's just a teensy-weensy little goof, right?   So much for "damage control"!

I'm now waiting for Georgetown University to pull off some stupendous stupidity.  Has anyone else noticed that Georgetown and Notre Dame seem to alternate with each other in providing grandeose insult to the Faith?  It's almost like a contest between the two!

The Guardians of the Grotto and the Cardinal Newman Society both helped to break this news.  Below is the Vortex take on the matter.  Click here if you cannot see embedded video.
