WHAT:
"Revealing the Sins of Notre Dame" - a history of undermining the Catholic
Church and a formal appeal to Bishop John D'Arcy of the Diocese of Fort
Wayne-South Bend to remove the school from the Official Catholic Directory in
the wake of the Obama scandal.

WHEN:
Tuesday, May 5, 6:30 p.m.

WHERE:
Front Gates of the University of Notre Dame. At the intersection of E. Angela
Blvd. and N. Notre Dame Ave.

WHO:
American Life League, in conjunction with Catholics from Fort Wayne, South
Bend and across the country.

WHY:
Since the early 1960s, the University of Notre Dame has actively undermined
Catholic teaching, culminating in an invitation to President Barack Obama to
speak at the 2009 May commencement exercises where he is set to receive an
honorary law degree.

"Notre Dame is placing the souls of millions in jeopardy in exchange for their
own prestige," said Mike Barnett, leadership director at American Life League.
"The school has no right to sell itself as Catholic to donors and potential
students while simultaneously working to undermine the Church and honor the
most pro-abortion president in the nation's history. In the interest of truth,
we're asking Bishop D'Arcy to remove the school from the Official Catholic
Directory."
