‘Vita, Dulcedo, Spes,’ taken from the ancient prayer to the Virgin, the ‘Salve Regina,’ means ‘our life, our sweetness, our hope’.and the combination of these phrases with the symbol for the university indicates the dedication of all Notre Dame’s activities, intellectual, spiritual, athletic, and so on, to Our Lady.
After his collusion with Obama, Pope Jenkins, President of Notre Dame, has asked that the phrase be updated to show how enlightened the University has become. As The One proclaimed at His Sunday 'What a Nice Guy am I' Commencement address, "Open hearts, Open minds" to abortion, ergo: 'Vita, Dulcedo, Spes, Abortio'.
Also from the Salve Regina: "To thee do we send up our sighs, mourning and weeping in this valley of tears." Abortio, indeed.
Next up: Same sex marriage. Look for Perez Hilton to be Notre Dame's 2010 Commencement speaker. 'Matrimonium sexus eadum'. They may even remove that 'Vita' thingy. No need to be divisive.
