Kmiec and Noonan


After Presidet Obama's talk yesterday, I was very interested to find out what Doug Kmiec would say.  I didn't have to wait long.  Here it is.

I was also interested in what Judge John Noonan said in his talk at the Notre Dame Commencement.  You may recall that Mary Ann Glendon was originally scheduled to receive the University's Laetare Medal, but declined almost at the last minute (here's her statement).  Noonan, who was awared the medal in 1984, was recruited by the University to give the talk in her place.  I think he speaks well for himself, for the University, and for the Church as well.

On the Notre Dame website, you can view and listen to (as well as read) the addresses given by both Judge Noonan and President Obama.
