Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades has called upon Notre Dame’s leadership to reverse the appointment of Associate Professor Susan Ostermann as director of the Liu Institute, citing her public advocacy for abortion and the scandal caused to the faithful. As the bishop of the diocese that includes Notre Dame, he bears responsibility for safeguarding its Catholic identity — and in this case, he has spoken with clarity and resolve.
