Sometimes you have to wonder if Fr. Jenkins of Notre Dame thinks we are just stupid.<\/p>\n

The recent decision by Notre Dame to support the election of Roxanne Martino to their board of trustees is an example of this. I guess they got more scrutiny than they expected since it was previously released that Roxanne Martino has given plenty of money to pro-abortion organizations including over the last 12 years $25,000 to Emily’s List. Emily’s List as most dedicated pro-lifers in the U.S. know is an organization that exists only to give money to pro-abortion politicians. After this fact was released Notre Dame is assuring people that she was ignorant of Emily’s List mission.<\/p>\n

Now even as a Catholic blogger who has amazing skills I can’t read souls and so will just go with her saying she was ignorant. That by itself is enough to disqualify her. If somebody can give so much money to a militantly pro-abortion group and not know what she was doing she is not fit to run a lemonade stand much less be on the board of a Catholic university. Not only did she give money to Emily’s List, but to a number of organizations that are pro-abortion and none that are primarily pro-life.<\/p>\n

Though maybe I am being a little bit hard on her. For example the main page of Emily’s List is ambiguous.

She is a CEO of Aurora Investment and works as a portfolio manager for hedge funds. So her primary job is managing other people’s money and yet does not even know that she was giving so much money to a pro-abortion organizations despite her support of “the sanctity of life”. So at this level of incompetence by her own testimony exactly why would she be qualified as a board member? The alternative is that she is a liar and purposely supported the culture of death – either way Notre Dame should be backing off instead of making excuses and going full speed ahead making excuses for her.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
