Fr. Jenkins re-elected President of Notre Dame
The Board of Trustees of the University of Notre Dame has elected Fr. John I. Jenkins, CSC, to a second five-year term as university president. While Notre Dame officials praised him for his commitment to the Catholic character of the school, others have questioned the direction of the prestigious school.
Fr. Jenkins’ tenure has featured continued controversy over the school’s Catholic identity, especially concerning the invitation to President Barack Obama to speak at the university's commencement ceremony and to receive an honorary degree.
Critics had charged the action violated the U.S. Catholic bishops’ 2004 instruction in “Catholics in Political Life” which held that university honors are not to be given to pro-abortion politicians.Read the full story here.

I will continue to contribute to Notre Dame as in the past.., NOTHING!
ReplyDeleteI am also NOT rooting for Notre Dame football, so I refuse to watch them on TV as I have in the past. Maybe I can get to their advertisers that way.
every action has a reaction and there will be consequences for such a liberal priest being president of Notre Dame for 10 years.
ReplyDeleteThey may not see the consequences soon but they will eventually.
