Full text of Petition:

When the nation’s premier Catholic university decided to honor the most pro-abortion president in history, with both an invitation to speak at commencement as well as an honorary law degree, the school committed the proverbial “last straw” in a dismantling of Catholic teaching at the University that has been taking place over the last 40 years.

Any Catholic school that dissents from Catholic teaching to the degree that it would honor a man guilty of promoting an intrinsic evil of the magnitude of abortion, has given up its Catholic identity and does not deserve to be listed in the Official Catholic Directory.

Notre Dame should be removed from the list of Catholic institutions, not only because its actions are discordant with the Catholic faith, but because it is scandalizing the very minds it is supposed to be molding, and offering them – instead of Catholic truth – relativism, liberalism and a consistent pattern of behavior incompatible with Catholic teaching.

The University of Notre Dame needs to reestablish its commitment to that core value of Catholic social teaching - personhood of every human being from their biological beginning.

In the interest of justice and truth, we the undersigned, humbly beg Bishop John D'Arcy to remove the University of Notre Dame from the Official Catholic Directory and to keep it out until such time as it changes their ways and return to authentic Catholic teaching and Catholic principles.
