  • In 2009, Blair stated on his diocesan website that Notre Dame’s decision to honor President Obama goes beyond the bounds of respect and acts as a source of dismay. He referenced a 2004 directive from the USCCB that said Catholic institutions are not to give honors to those who promote abortion. (LifeSiteNews)
