Invite The Devil In Your Home And He Will Never Leave…

I guess I should chime in on this subject about how President Obama has been invited to Notre Dame as the commencement speaker.  Let me just say this very clearly:  An invitation was sent.  He accepted.  End of story.

As much as CIT does not appreciate nearly all that Obama has been doing, and has in store in our future, Notre Dame has invited him to be there, and should respect their own decision.  Even if Obama is the devil himself, condemnation is entirely irrelevant in comparison to commiting to something, then changing your mind later.

The big picture here is that a commitment was made, and it was accepted.  A choice was offered, a decision was made and that is a sealed deal.  While the decision-maker could “see the light” and realize he/she made a mistake is a position that shows remorse or regret for this decision.  However, the decision was made, and any consequences or glory that comes from the decision is to only be embraced.

If Satan asks you:  “Can I have your soul?  I will give you 100 million dollars for it.”  If you say, “Yes” and he gives you the 100 million, the deal is done.  Whatever you feel after has very little value; you were offered something, and you took that something.  You will now have to live with it.  Wholly irrelevant as to whether or not you agree with it.  You made a clear-minded choice, and was made aware of what the choice would mean.

So while CIT believes that Notre Dame should have skipped this presidential visit, it should now honor the visit and accept it as it normally does.  If this truly was a mistake of the university, then hopefully tomorrow’s university leaders will encourage this beautiful university of learning to scrutinize a bit deeper as to whom it wishes to honor.
