selectively applying their catholic principles

A bunch of priests from the Congregation of the Holy Cross are warning Notre Dame that it will burn in hell and snakes will eat everybody and flames will consume the campus if that evil, evil man Barack Obama is allowed to deliver the commencement address next month.

I exaggerate slightly, but those priests and a bunch of bishops are all exercised about it because Obama supports abortion rights.

I clearly didn't get the memo when the Catholic Church became a one-issue organization. I mean, they had de facto President George W. Bush as a commencement speaker too. It was in 2001, so before Bush invaded Iraq on trumped-up charges. But still, Bush's support for capital punishment was well known. So much for the culture of life.
