Mary Ann Glendon refuses Notre Dame Award
Lifesitenews.com report that former U.S. Ambassador to the Holy See, Mary Ann Glendon who was chosen to receive the Notre Dame Laetare Medal and give an acceptance speech at the same ceremony as President Obama, has refused to accept the award and declined to take part in the ceremony, as part of the widespread protest of the university's decision to honour the President.
In a letter sent to Fr Jenkins Ms. Glendon wrote that the decision to invite President Obama was "in disregard of the U.S. bishops' express request of 2004 that Catholic institutions 'should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles' and that such persons 'should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.'" "It is with great sadness," Glendon stated, "that I have concluded that I cannot accept the Laetare Medal or participate in the May 17 graduation ceremony."
