'I Saw Catholics Arrested for Being Catholic at a Catholic University'
Note: The articles about what happened at Notre Dame came fast and furious and are too numerous to post. This one sums up the moral bankruptcy on display yesterday. Notre Dame has not only turned its back on the Catholic Church. They have declared war on it.

Vision America President Pastor Rick Scarborough said he was sickened by what he saw when those protesting Obama's speech at Notre Dame were arrested on the campus.
"I wept when I saw my friends arrested and taken to jail," Scarborough disclosed. "They almost broke the arm of a priest who appeared to be in his 80s, by dragging him on the ground."
Scarborough, who's a Southern Baptist preacher, said he was in South Bend in solidarity with Catholics who are protesting the upcoming commencement speech at Notre Dame by the most anti-life president in history.
"Millions of Catholics who were persecuted in their countries of origin came to these shores for religious freedom," Scarborough said. "These hard-working folk built institutions like Notre Dame to educate their children and strengthen their Church."
"Now Notre Dame is honoring Barack Obama, a man Catholics and other Christians should shun, as many of the Catholic bishops have."
When asked why he wasn't arrested, Scarborough explained: "This was a Catholic demonstration, As a Baptist, I had to respect that. I did not want to intrude. At the same time, I wanted to support a group of people I'm so proud of for standing up for Judeo-Christian morality."
Fr. Norman Weslin, the 80 year old priest who was arrested today at Notre Dame is a retired Air Force General who went into the priesthood after his wife died.
After his open heart surgery, despite the warnings from his doctors, Father led a pro-life youth group in a walk across the country. He's been arrested many times in the past during pro-life demonstrations.
Today, Notre Dame had him taken away to jail in a plastic bag for carrying a cross onto a supposedly Catholic campus.
