As promised by campus police, Dr. Alan Keyes was arrested after entering the grounds of Notre Dame University as a part of a peaceful protest.
Former U.S. Ambassador and Presidential candidate Dr. Alan Keyes is currently in Jail; along with over 20 anti abortion activists. They were arrested at Notre Dame for peacefully, quietly, walking on campus with baby carriages carrying dolls covered with stage blood.
Randall Terry, leader of StopObamaNotreDame, states: "Notre Dame arrests Christians who defend babies, and honors a man who kills them. This is an open wound in the Church. The question is this: Will a Catholic Bishop step up and demand this betrayal of the Faith be brought to a halt?"

"I am going back on campus to prayerfully bear witness. Come, join me, let us trespass together so that in our trespasses we might find ourselves fully in obedience to the will of God." ~ Dr. Alan Keyes
Dr. Alan Keyes and 20 peaceful pro-lifers were arrested yesterday after they walked onto Notre Dame's campus praying the rosary and pushing baby strollers carrying baby dolls covered in "stage blood" to protest the invitation of Notre Dame to President Obama to deliver the commencement address at this year's graduation.
Dr. Keyes intended to spend the weekend in jail. A person from New York, unknown to Dr. Keyes, posted the bail by credit card. Dr. Keyes will be leading peaceful witnesses again on campus this week, and is asking others to come from around the country to join him.
Notre Dame students via the Project Sycamore organization have asked that we pray, not protest, especially during the convocation itself. Although their version of prayer is completely novus ordo, even down to the scriptural rosary they will be using, and even though that is the same liturgical platform that has allowed, encouraged, enabled the 'other Catholics' who will be assembling at the convocation, which is an important insight, sadly forgotten in planning for the event, still, it seems particularly un-Catholic to ignore the wishes of the group most personally involved in the scandal, on the ground. We all do know the principle of subsidiarity.
ReplyDeleteNor am I convinced that Alan Keyes is a really really good friend to pro-life. His party says it is pro-life, but does not say it supports the roll back of Roe v. Wade.
