Notre Dame replies to Glendon's refusal of award - The hole gets deeper

The following statement from Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame, is in response to the decision by Mary Ann Glendon to decline acceptance of the University's Laetare Medal (see earlier post today):

"We are, of course, disappointed that Professor Glendon has made this decision. It is our intention to award the Laetare Medal to another deserving recipient, and we will make that announcement as soon as possible."

We wonder who would accept the award under this cloud...here's a couple of possibilities: Katherine Sebelius or Nancy Pelosi. Both prominent nominal Catholics who are totally in tune with the abortion-president, Obama.
