SOME WANT TO BAR OBAMA FROM TALKING AT NOTRE DAME

In an op-ed in today's The Washington Post, Kathleen Parker tells Barack Obama that he is not welcome at Notre Dame. Parker seems to be one of those small minded Catholics who cannot tolerate anyone else's ideas and opinions other than her own.

Hey Kathleen, have you ever heard of a "university" before? That's a place where ideas of all shapes and colors are presented in the forum, and anyone can argue or debate the strength of those ideas.

It seems you want the university's world of ideas to be shrunk and limited to your own narrow world view. Why are you so dogmatic? Is the Pope still for you that great spiritual superman in Rome who tells you how to think and what to believe?
