GE (And Notre Dame) We Bring Bad Things To Life!

SOUTH BEND, Indiana, July 7, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The University of Notre Dame has ignored a request to rescind the University’s May 2010 honoring of General Electric (GE) for “values-based decision making,” despite the company’s involvement with embryonic stem cell research.

In a letter dated June 1 to Notre Dame President Fr. John Jenkins, C.S.C., Cardinal Newman Society President Patrick J. Reilly wrote, “Given Notre Dame’s Catholic identity, especially considering its ‘Statement Supporting the Choice for Life’ issued a month ago, it is contradictory and potentially scandalous for the University to honor a company which is in clear conflict with the teaching of the Catholic Church.”

“Although the award has already been given to General Electric,” continued Reilly, “I strongly encourage you to publicly revoke the honor so that progress made by Notre Dame as a Catholic, pro-life institution may continue. Most importantly, I suggest that this honor and last year’s commencement controversy point to the value of a consistent university policy on honors and platforms to uphold Notre Dame’s Catholic mission.”
