Chicago's Cardinal Francis George is criticizing the University of Notre Dame's decision to invite President Obama to deliver its commencement address, despite overwhelming support from the University's graduating seniors. The complaints, fueled by right-wing politicos like former Rethug Sen. Rick "Sanctimonius" Santorum wanting to score partisan points, are over the President's decision to allow use of embryonic stems cells in research (which otherwise would be discarded by fertility clinics).
We'd suggest the good Cardinal focus on keeping his priests and bishops from seducing their altar boys and parishoners, rather than on using discarded embryos for curing disease, a position which is supported by a wide majority of Americans. Pax vobiscum, Cardinal, sir.
