Irish Rover - Notre Dame Student Paper- Mary Ann Glendon

I think it is important to recall those who stood for life today.
This issue of the Irish Rover, a Notre Dame student newspaper has an interesting article about Mary Ann Glendon who refused The Laetare Medal due to the Obama Invitation to speak and be Honored at Notre Dame today.
At one time an image of former U.S. Ambassador to the Vatican
Mary Ann Glendon was proudly displayed on the Notre Dame
website. Early on Monday, April 27, however,Glendon faxed a letter to President
Fr. Jenkins, notifying him that she had changed her mind and would now decline
to receive the Laetare Medal, presented by Notre Dame since 1883.
The Laetare Medal is the highest honor awarded to Catholics in the United States Visit:
