Randall Terry, founder of Operation Rescue, a pro-life group in Chicago, led demonstrations on Tuesday in front of the offices of Richard C. Notebaert, chairman of Notre Dame Board of Trustees, and Arthur R. Velasquez, who is a member of the Board of Fellows.
Terry is demanding that the school rescind its invitation to Obama as commencement speaker and dismiss the school's president, the Rev. John Jenkins.
The goal of the protest is to "create such a political mudpit that the presidential advisors would advise him not to speak," Terry told The Christian Post after the event.
He also said the dismissal of Jenkins is appropriate because "his moral compass is broken."
"To have the most famous Catholic university in the western hemisphere to invite the chief proponent of child killing in the western hemisphere is tantamount to the rape of catholic orthodoxy and sociology," said Terry, who has published his demands at www.stopobamanotredame.com.
