Every one of the heads of these schools must ask themselves whether or not a student or faculty member would feel comfortable to be actively and clearly prolife.  They must ask whether health services could be contracted through other means.  If they refuse, then we have a right as Catholics to know, why not.  If prolife is not minimally encouraged throughout the life of the campus then the aims and values of PP should not be given precedence.  What is it about these Catholic schools makes PP feel so enabled to recruit for internships there?  It seems that PP seeks after Catholic students, with a vengeance.

The Church in the West is in a very sad state. I only wish the USCCB members would all wake of the this issue.

beyond the categories listed here, it’s important to note that members of the Administration at Universities have deep connections to PP- either by sharing PP’s philosophy or by having worked for Planned Parenthood.

for example- at the University of Dayton- Lynette Heard- the Executive Director for the Office of the President used to work at Planned Parenthood.  So- even if they remove a formal connection to Planned Parenthood- the philosophy remains.  In this case- the President of the University chose as his office’s *Executive Director* - someone who used to work at Planned Parenthood.  And she is in one of the most influential positions at the University.

It’s also noteworthy, that despite the news that her appointment generated when she was appointed, her LinkedIN profile somehow omits some of her work history…. hmmm…

http://www.linkedin.com/in/lynnetteheard

(I wonder-does she *regret* working for the largest provider of abortions?  Or is she just worried about appearances?)

Flyer Fans beware!  The University of Dayton is only interested in *appearing* Catholic if that means you will enroll your child there or if you’ll give to their Annual Fund.  Ask anyone who used to work in their admissions or fundraising offices that is *still* Catholic.

While it is disturbing that any of our Catholic Universities are engaging in such conduct; I see from the list that many, many, MANY, Catholic Universities engage in much more egregious conduct than Notre Dame—and yet you choose to put a picture of our Gold Dome with your article.  I realize that Notre Dame is well known, but fair if fair.  Why not include a picture of the college with the most disturbing conduct, rather than just an easy target.

Perhaps the “Catholic” Universities are more interested in the donations and financial support of the moneyed interests behind Planned Parenthood and the Secural Modernist Progressives that would love to see the total demise of the traditional morality that has been preserved and handed down from Jesus Christ himself by his bride, Holy Mother Church. A most foolish choice if they truly want to serve the Bride of Christ. She has no need of their money.

All I could think of when I opened this was…
“Please, God, don’t let Franciscan University be on this list… or my heart will be absolutely broken.”

Thank the Lord it wasn’t on here.

That said, caution must be used in trying to infer that people who may have worked as counselors at PP in the past are horrible influences today.  While I agree that touting such credientials is not prudent and must be removed from any kind of publicity, we must all keep in mind that Our Lord and King is all Merciful and forgiving, and we have the Sacrament of Confession specifically for that purpose.  These people may have repented and are working at these schools now specifically to right their previous wrongs.

When will our Bishops strip the title “Catholic” from these universities?
I understand that we are more interested in metenoia but many of these Universities
have been thoughly infitrated by the enemy and the Father of lies is using them

The stench of hypocrisy is overwhelming…

“The Cardinal Newman Society urges Catholic colleges and universities to embrace a “no-tolerance position for any relationship with Planned Parenthood.”

^^^ This is not near enough.  The Church needs to stop taking half-measures and literally cut-off all funding for so-called Catholic universities that have any association with PP or other abortion clinics.  Then, the Church needs to take legal action to have said colleges legally disassociated from Catholicism—anything less is cowardice.

There are only a handful of truly Catholic Colleges (i.e., loyal to The Magisterium)in America.  The Jesuits should rend their garments till The Good Lord comes in reparation for all the so-called Jesuit Universities that have been morally poisoning minds since The Council.  Academic freedom is not LICENSE!  All Catholic Charities (2/3 come from government-that’s why the beureaucrats LOVE the democrats- you know.  That’s why “Catholic Charities” isn’t allowed to be CATHOLIC!) funds should be used to raze these abominations!  Don’t waste your time wandering why.  Just look at the silver pieces bulging in the Modernists pockets the next time they permit Pelosi or Biden to commit sacrilege during Holy Communion, or when they believe that the King-of-Abortion should get an honorary degree from the formerly most-prominent Catholic (sic) University in this country!

Pray the Chaplet of Divine Mercy in reparation for those Catholic schools (colleges AND high schools) and all those who are in rebellion against Church teaching.

“For the sake of His sorrowful Passion have mercy on us and on the whole world…”

“HOLY GOD, HOLY MIGHTY ONE, HOLY IMMORTAL ONE..Have Mercy on us and on the whole world..” Indeed.

I knew things were bad and have been for fifty years at least, but this is beyond the pale. Why do Catholic parents fork over good money to send their kids to institutions that are basically institutions of hypocracy.
Better send them to a state institution that is at least honest about what it is. Much cheaper and they may have an excellent Neuman chapter

This is the case because the schools aren’t Catholic, plain and simple, and we all know it. They should all be stripped of their Catholic title. It’s time to stop being diplomatic people-pleasers, because souls are being destroyed. At one of these schools, I actually saw a prayer intention in the chapel that said in so many words, “Thank you God for birth control that allows me to love my girlfriend thusly.” Why do we play around with these places?

It would be better for us to have only one, truly Catholic school than to have these useless institutions tormenting the Holy Church.

There are problems at the University of St. Thomas in St. Paul, yes, but you can still get an excellent, faithfully Catholic education there, unlike many of the other Catholic schools in the country. The Catholic Studies Department (http://www.stthomas.edu/cathstudies/)is faithfully Catholic, as are the Philosophy Department (http://www.stthomas.edu/phil/) and the Law School (http://www.stthomas.edu/law/).
St. Thomas also has an overflowing college seminary (http://vianney.net) and major seminary (http://www.stthomas.edu/spssod/), a vibrant Catholic subculture, well-attended daily Masses twice a day, three Masses celebrated on Sundays, Confessions heard daily for an hour, and student-organized Eucharistic Adoration nonstop Mon-Fri. Moreover, there are residences for Catholic Men and Catholic women and growing Catholic Men’s and Catholic Women’s floors in the college dormitories.
Renewal is coming to St. Thomas, and as an alumnus who grew in his faith there, I’d highly recommend UST to anybody. You have to be prudent in who you take for theology courses, but you can still get a quality Catholic education if you know where to look (The college seminarians and the Catholic Studies students can help with that, and faithful Catholics at UST form a family that looks out for each other).
St. Thomas is certainly a spiritual battleground, but don’t let that scare you away from attending it or considering it for your son/daughter/niece/nephew.
Actually, there is a plus side to this. Students learn well how to engage those who are not faithfully Catholic, and learn firsthand how to participate in the New Evangelization. I am thankful for what I learned about my faith and how to bring it to others on campus who are not faithful Catholics. That’s an experience that I don’t think many other places can teach you.

It is time Catholic Colleges, Universities and Seminaries follow “De Corde Ecclesae”.
If they choose NOT, then they should be stripped of their Catholic title. 
Strong leadership by the Hierarchy is much needed. 
Unfortunately many of current bishops are fruit of corrupted teaching by mediocre theologians in failed Institutions.
It will take a generation to change. 

I actually pity them.  Far more I feel sorry for the students betrayed on their faith.
Jesuits, monks of all “Orders” were and are still awfully incompetent.
A small amount of poison does poison the well.  Only a fool would drink from it.

It is time we receive the Christian Message passed on by the Apostles and Catholic bi-millenarian Tradition and guaranteed by the Magisterium with its simplicity and life changing power.
We do not and will never need theologians’ personal opinions…

Suggestion – Let’s remove the term Catholic from all Colleges, Universities and Seminaries till they are awarded by a new Vatican Commission. It must be earned…

Let us also remove titles from all theologians and professors till they are examined by same commission.  All Professors should be re-examined every four years as a a follow-up. I did it to conquer cancer.
I hope and pray Benedict XVI will do what St. Pius X did a 100 years ago with Pascendi Dominici Gregis - On the Doctrines of the Modernists.

Please continue your mission of fighting for the Truth…
Thank you. Respectfully
Coucel

Outrageous. Contemptable. Pathetic. Pitiable. Disgusting. As a Catholic and life long supporter of right-to-life, I find any association by a Christian with Planned Parenthood, that is not one of enmity to be the pnultimate hypocrisy. However, that being said, a politician, or a judge that would ever act on the part of Planned Parenthood is neither Catholic nor a real Christian of any sort. There is no middle ground.

I went to Saint Mary’s College of California (before converting) and had a professor set up an internship at our local planned parenthood.  I wrote about the experience a couple of years ago here: http://awomansplaceis.blogspot.com/2010/01/my-time-at-planned-parenthood.html

It’s so sad that are Catholic Colleges can’t bring themselves to promote Catholic teaching…

When found, the instructor involved with such orginizatons should be terminated.  If the University itself is in support of such organizations it should be defrocked (Catholic name removed), religious personel removed from campus, and not supported in anyway by the Catholic Church.

None of these Catholic colleges would have anything to do with planned parenthood if the Catholic bishops were not 100% behind them.

This is exactly why my children are ONLY going to a true faithful Catholic school, like Franciscan (where I am also a proud alum!).

I agree 100% with the other posters - if schools can’t be faithful to Church teaching, as handed down by the Holy Father, the Magisterium, etc., then they should absolutely be stripped of any recognition as “Catholic”.  At a minimum, they should be forced to be categorized with some sort of asterisk, i.e. Notre Dame* * = Catholic in name only, but doesn’t support 100% of the Church’s teaching, particularly in regards to faith and morals”.

I almost panicked when I read Mount St. Mary’s before realizing the CA meant California and not Maryland..it’s late in the day and I’m tired, What we can take from this is that we need to pray and sacrifice more and put our money where our hearts are and insist our children attend only Catholic schools who are faithful.

Like Heather, I was praying, “Please don’t let my school be on the list.”  It wasn’t, but it was a legitimate fear.  If not this list, then the next one?  If we can demand a list of ingredients be printed on a can of pop, why can’t we insist on knowing what’s inside “Catholic” schools?

OK, now what? What happens next?

Forget it. Forget it all. It’s a waste of time to even think about it all.

Unitl we stop contracepting, we will not diminish the culture of immediate sexual gratification and the resultant demand for abortion which it creates.

The demand for abortion comes about because of the demand for recreational sex. Recreational sex is possible mainly becuase of contraception. Contraception is the root cause of it all… abortion, teen pregnancy, porn addiction, etc.

Catholics who use contraception but know better need to examine themselves for they are contributing to the abortion industry.

May God have mercy on our souls.

Deacon Stokes, it is because the Newman Society despises Notre Dame, and most Catholic blogs follow that lead, and it is purely for no reason other than partisan politics. And lots of jealousy. I would guess the only schools that made the list would be the ones that pay the Newman Society to appear in their books, and were not investigated for this report. I would encourage people to do their own research and not put their faith in fake magisteriums like the Cardinal Newman Society.

Megan - I agree 100% - do your own research.  Don’t take the word of the Newman Society, but rather go to these “Catholic” colleges own web-pages and see if they proudly list the “accomplishments” of the universities, their faculty, students and alumni when it comes to PP.  Fortunately, the Newman Society already provided links for EACH AND EVERY ONE of these instances in their report.

This is nothing short of shameful for these schools who want to call themselves Catholic.  Looking your way, Notre Dame.  Same with Georgetown, Boston College, Marquette, etc. etc.

Students are better off, frankly, if they attend a completely secular school like Brown University, which doesn’t even try to pretend to have a religious identity.  That way, they’re not going to develop into adult Catholics who have a warped, mistaken sense of what the Church teaches.

That is all.

St Catherines report was 2007. what is going on with them now?  Any new reports?  Have they stopped endorsing Planned Parenthood?

Rob, the problem with this report is, even clicking on the links, you get an out of context picture of what is going on; as if the Newman Society did nothing but use Google to search each website for the words “Planned Parenthood”. No questions were asked. Take the faculty references for instance. What if those biographies are outdated, and the person has repented of their involvement but the biography hasn’t been updated? The Newman Society doesn’t give anyone a chance to respond, instead they just paint these schools as causing scandal. The Newman Society has never, obviously, thought much of Matthew 18.15-17 (but that happens when political concerns outweigh Christ’s message, as it does with the Newman Society and on most “Catholic” blogs); they would rather just broadly libel people and keep taking their money while setting themselves up as a replacement for the Magisterium. It must be nice to sit in front of your computer and tear down people without actually having to get off your fat butt and do some work to find out the truth, huh? How the the view from there? Pathetic. I, every time I read a “Catholic” blog or the comments of so-called “Catholics”, hate the Church more and more, for no other reason than it is full of people like you. Thankfully I can still rely on Jesus. Oh well, I know I am better than you. I have that too. That IS all you arrogant !@#$%.

It’s not just from the Neuman Society. I hear it everywhere. You want proof?
What is the average Mass attendance today vs. 30 years ago? Why has it dropped to such a low level? Listen to the Media. Notre Dame has the police arrest a devout Catholic because he might disturb Obama. From priests that say if they would have gone to a Catholic high school they would never have become priests. Listen to what the bishops say publicly. Watch what they do. You don’t need proof.

Megan - project much? :)  Such a mouth from a girl! Do you kiss your mother with that mouth?  “I know I am better than you. I have that too. That IS all you arrogant !@#$%.”  Ok, I’m done teasing now.  Sorry about that. 

In any case, I couldn’t say this any better: “If one considers—from a faithfully Catholic perspective—the fact that Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the United States and a leading contributor to what Pope John Paul II labeled a “culture of death,” any relationship to Planned Parenthood or those who have worked for such an organization is simply unacceptable. In no way can the work of Planned Parenthood be considered compatible with the mission of Catholic higher education or
the moral teachings of the Catholic Church.”

I will grant you that some of these links are likely outdated, but there are plenty within the last few years (2009-2011).  There is no reason whatsoever for ANY Catholic college at ANY TIME to have ANY affiliation with an organization that stands in direct opposition to its core teachings and beliefs regarding the sanctity of human life.  Much less to trumpet that affiliation on its web-site.

St. Pius X said modernism is the synthesis of all heresies.  It is a carefully disguised form of gnostisism, the belief you do what you can here, on earth, to get bye, in this abjectly evil world, with no consequences for the next world, which is a heaven (Muslim, Buddhist, Catholic, etc..) of your own liking.  A good modernist appears to know and appreciate all faiths, while secretly despising all of them.  He knows what’s important to you and seemingly affirms it, while believing none of it himself.  So every thing is allowed, in the name of “tolerance” and “ecumenism”, which quickly devolves into syncretism, with the exception of the idiot or circus that actually believes they have THE FULLNESS OF TRUTH. These folks must be ignored, trivialized, attacked, or utterly destroyed if such modernist delusions are to prosper.  This is relevant here because Catholic Academia has, by and large, become the safe abode of these modernist miscreants.  God must still hope for their conversion, still, because the last two Popes have both been Philosopher-Kings, adept at the academics’ art and familiar with all of their fallacies.  I think it was St. Charles Barromeo who said the roads in hell are paved with the skulls of Bishops.. Does any Bishop REALLY believe that a healthy investment portfolio will temper The Most High’s anger at their cowardice?  If the USCCB would order her 60 million Faithful in this country, to the same sacred and civic duty/disobedience to which they supported The Civil Rights Movement in the 60’s, then baby-butchering would be obliterated, and The Faithful would make The Tea-Party’s efforts look like the caller’s at Friday’s bingo!  Pax Christi!

A few years ago I stopped to talk to a man who was displaying large color pictures of aborted children on the side of his truck in downtown Denver. I wanted to congratulate him for his courage and so I did. In the course of the conversation it was disclosed that he was and evangelical protestant Christian and he believed, from various observations, that the Catholic Church was pro-abortion. I tried unsuccessfully to assure him that the Church was pro-life. This article and many of our so called Catholic colleges,as well as so called Catholic professors and politicians add credence to the position of my evangelical brother in Christ. It is evident to those who follow current events that it would be far easier to make the case that the Catholic Church is Pro-abortion than that it is Pro-life. Our Lord died for us - is it to much to expect that all areas of HIS CHURCH adhere to HIS teachings.

Nooo, not my beautiful University of St. Thomas!  However, I will point out (along with a fellow commenter) that it is, in fact, a wonderful school that has a vibrant and wonderful Catholic culture—even though it does have to contend with opposing viewpoints at times.  I, too, am a proud alumnus and highly recommend this wonderful university to any Catholic.

Catholic does not automatically mean anti-Planned Parenthood. It was over 20 years ago I went to my daughter’s parochial school and protested PP coming to the eighth grade science class. The response was, it is not about abortion, it is part of sex education. I was appalled.

Toledo, Ohio has the distinction of the hometown of one Marcy Kaptur, our House of Representative member. She will be the first to tell you how she was raised in a good Catholic home in the Polish neighborhood; graduating from a Catholic girls academy. She is equally proud to support the funding of Planned Parenthood—because she just can’t bring herself to impose her values on someone else. That also means she will not meet with the Susan B. Anthony group, any pro-life group, and nearly never meet with her own constituency outside of controlled public events,  because as she puts it—it could be loud and nasty.  Why ?? because we have minds and opinions, and not just votes and a hand-out.
So Catholics need to make themselves aware—Catholic does not mean pro-life.

Dear Carol Yeager - 20 years ago you were correct. I don’t want to have to support legalized murder and have that value imposed upon me and my family. Caesar has overstepped his bounds - Christian is Pro-life. The abortion activity of Planned Parenthood must not be tax supported for the good of our nation. Please explain how evil can be defended and perpetuated in any value system. The solution, I believe, is to have Planned Parenthood become two separate corporations with different missions. One corporation with the abortion mission which would not be funded by the Federal government. The other funded by the federal government would provide for all other female health issues. While I personally oppose the Federal Government being involved with Planned Parenthood, my solution I believe, will be more tolerable to those of us who oppose Government funding of this organization. In any event Catholic institutions must not be sponsoring or advocating views that are in opposition to our beliefs. The nation is on the wrong road please don’t facilitate the Church going down the same path in the name of open mindedness - let evil support itself. Robert Tobin

Deacon and Megan,

I could not agree more re: Notre Dame.  I mean, a librarian from the University lists a speaking engagement at an event co-sponsored by Planned Parenthood on his CV and that warrants the picture?  Notre Dame is an easy target, and, quite frankly deserves much better than to be grouped in with the Universities that “conversative” Catholics group it with.  But it is high profile and I’m sure the Cardinal Newman Society makes mega-bucks every time they can tie ND to something.

I pray that these schools go back to their Catholic values and hope that the USCCB can step in and do something to correct this abomination.

I agree with Chris, Deacon, and Megan about Notre Dame. It is journalistic irresponsibility to claim that the personal anti-life commitments of a few faculty members means Notre Dame itself is institutionally anti-life. Notre Dame Right to Life is the largest single student organization at the University. Notre Dame’s health insurance does not cover contraception because of the University’s (yes, quite imperfect) pro-life commitment. Notre Dame has repeatedly refused to include “sexual orientation” as a protected group in its policies. Please don’t make the perfect the enemy of the good. There is so much good going on right now at Notre Dame, which gets constantly demonized by faithful Catholics who are ignorant of that good. Notre Dame has many problems. Notre Dame is not the same kind of university as Franciscan, or even St Thomas, both excellent schools. Yet there is much good that Notre Dame does, that it could not do, were it to try to become Franciscan.

I do assure you that many students who never had the Faith, find it at Notre Dame. I’ve seen it. And I assure you, that those who come well-formed in the Faith, generally grow into a deeper commitment. I’ve also seen that. I met my best friend at Notre Dame, a Protestant who became Catholic. I met my Catholic wife at Notre Dame, my Catholic wife who found an orthodox Catholic community for the first time in her life at Notre Dame.

When people talk about students “losing their faith” at Catholic colleges, it’s usually because those students never had a strong formation or commitment to begin with. They went to Mass on Sundays with their family, perhaps, but their lives were not ordered by the Catholic Faith. By failing to make such distinctions, well-meaning orthodox Catholics misunderstand and mislead others about life at Catholic universities.

John,

I appreciate your viewpoints, as well as your cogent argument in support of Notre Dame.  I completely agree there may be more good than evil being engendered there, as evidenced by your examples of conversion and faith.  I agree - it’s those “cultural / luke-warm” Catholics who never had strong formation to begin with who are most in danger of losing / never realizing their Faith.

All of that said, isn’t it the job of a University that prides itself on being known as Catholic (the name means Our Lady for goodness sakes!) to uphold a higher standard for its Catholic faith than a secular university?  It’s all well and good that it maintains the policies you’ve enumerated.  However, if it doesn’t maintain a consistent adherence to all Catholic teaching (i.e. employing/espousing proponents of abortion/contraception; having the most pro-abortion president of the United Staes speak at commencement, etc.), then that tends to weaken the Catholic identity that they purport to have.

And yes - not every school can be a Franciscan or Thomas More - but every school that insists it’s Catholic should adhere 100% to the teachings of the Churchl, or it should not call itself Catholic.

Rob, I apologize for getting angry with you. But I want to end by saying that I guarantee, 100% guarantee, that there is not a single Catholic University that adheres 100% to the teachings of the Church because there is not a single Catholic who adheres 100% to the teachings of the Church. You are judging on an standard that cannot be met by anyone except Christ Himself. By your standard, Notre Dame cannot have pro-choice students. How would we even know? And if we refuse pro-choice students, then we cut off the possibility for change and reconciliation. Do you know that ND admits non-Catholics, even non-Christians? As virtually all Catholic colleges do, especially if they want any research or grants from states or the US government. As for the President, people need to get over that. The man is the sitting President of the United States and he was not invited to speak about abortion. I still can’t help but notice that none of the schools that are pushed by the Newman Society as being “truly” Catholic showed up in the report. Did the society even check those schools? Like Chris said, ND gets slammed by the Newman Society because it brings attention because of our public profile. I know many people hate ND, it’s just sad that includes so many Catholics.

ND does get more than it’s share of the attention, but they bring it on themselves.  Fr Jenkins promised to cancel the Vagina Monologues, only to cave in to pressure.  They are aggressively prosecuting the famous “ND88” while letting gay-rights and anti-ROTC protesters off the hook.  Their employees include the infamous Fr McBrien.  They wrote and implemented the Land of Lakes document which has led us to where we are today. They aren’t the only Catholic University to honor President Obama, but they DID honor President Obama, ignoring their local Ordinary.  Now if they are going to do all that, they need to be big boys and take it when they get criticized.  Maybe they can try to improve the situation. Oh, and their football team stinks, too.

I’m persuaded if ND doesn’t cover contraceptives in their insurance plan, that is indeed good news.  And I’ve seen pictures of Eucharistic processions on campus that demonstrate tremendous faith among the students.

Just another in a long history of pro-abortion activities at “Catholic” institutions like Notre Dame (my alma mater)

The ND Dean of Arts and Letters wrote this pro-abortion op-ed in the NY Times:
http://newsinfo.nd.edu/news/7244-op-ed-voting-our-conscience-not-our-religion/

The year after Benedict XVI became Pope a Vatican cardinal came to ND to announce that he expected Benedict to undertake a path of “evangelical pruning” I’m certain the location was not a coincidence.

http://catholicradioreport.com/index.php/component/content/article/193-notre-dame/7565-evangelical-pruning-at-notre-dame

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again.  I would much rather send my child to an honest, secular university than a fake Catholic one!  At least they don’t lie to us about who they are!

With this going on in full view of the bishops, why should I, as a priest, support Pro-Life organizations.

What have we come too!!  The bishops’ silence, I think, can be likened to their consent to the actions of these colleges and universities who carry the “Catholic” name.

Fr. Pavone and Mrs. Alveda King should just close-up shop.  The Catholic Church in America is against you and your work!!

Is it really “cowardice” on the local bishops’ part, or administrative laziness fueled by complacency? How much courage does it really take to call x, y, or z in for a consultation? These people could be college presidents, departmental deans, profs, etc. Makes no difference. Because once the word gets out that the BOSS, the bishop is taking an interest in how the colleges/institutions, and diocesan/order-run schools in his diocese are being run, and who’s doing the running—PLUS—taking action to clear out the poison ivy and deadwood, the faithfull will take notice, and so will people who might otherwise be more enthusiastic about converting will become even more enthused. Who wants to be part of anything that doesn’t take its mission and purpose seriously; especially when that organization happens to be significantly more than just “anything,” but the world’s oldest and ONLY Church founded directly by God Himself?
  Phew, boy was I glad to see that my alma mater, St. Thomas University/Biscayne College in Miami-Dade wasn’t on the Newman Society’s watch list. Well, uh, there’s this fellow named Dr. Miguel Diaz who graduated from STU and was appointed by Pres. Obama to be our Amb. to the Holy See. And there’s this “other thing:” in order for any Catholic to be admitted to Obama’s campaign curia, he or she had to do some serious philosophical heel-clicking on all the essential and crucial issues of the day. Could my alma mater call this a “half-win”? (lol)

With regard to Notre Dame, you should be aware that the Faculty Senate last week voted down, 22-8, a motion to express the support of the Senate to the Administration’s pro-life activities and beliefs.  Their administration, including Father Jenkins, is at least attempting to pay lip service to the Church’s pro-life beliefs.  Their faculty, on the other hand, is a den of anti-life liberalism, and that is Notre Dame’s biggest problem.

The same faculty that has allowed Notre Dame to be mentioned in the same academic breath with “aspirational peers” such as Brown, Columbia, Stanford, Northwestern, etc., has caused Notre Dame to lose her soul and many a Notre Dame’s student to lose her or his faith.

University of Dayton- sad.
Bl. Chaminade, pray for us.
