A former U.S. ambassador to the Holy See has politely refused to receive an award from the same institution of higher learning which bestowed an honorary degree upon her several years ago.

Citing the conflicts that she sees between the guidelines set forth by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and the conferring of an honorary degree to the sitting President of the United States, Mary Ann Glendon has declined to accept the Laetare Medal from the University of Notre Dame. Apparently, the administration at Our Lady felt that giving this award would sufficiently balance the slate and placate all those that are justly angered by the university’s lack of discernment.
Dr. Glendon further objected to the University distributing talking points that identified her as the equal time portion of the show. I don’t blame her.
I tip my hat to a brave lady who is standing up for her principles and for her Faith.
