Biden Debases Laetare Medal As Students Bolster Notre Dame’s Catholic Identity

Following our last bulletin about an Irish Rover investigative report, we write today principally about Notre Dame’s Catholic student organizations, but the recent feticidal outburst by Notre Dame honoree President Joe Biden claims priority of place. President Biden, the debasing of the Laetare Medal, and a lucky break for Notre Dame. Notre Dame’s Laetare Medal […]

Notre Dame’s Non-Heteronormative Welcome Week

In our last two bulletins, we cited the University’s embrace of Pride Month and the Notre Dame Alumni Association’s establishment of an official alumni LGBTQ “affinity group” as evidence of a cultural shift at the University from treatment of homosexuals with “respect and compassion,” which the Church demands, toward acceptance of same-sex marriage and homosexual sex, […]

Notre Dame Embraces LGBTQ Pride Month

Ever since Father Jenkins scuttled long-standing University policy in 2012 by approving a student LGBTQ club, the risk has been that the aim of treating homosexuals with “respect, compassion and sensitivity,” as the Church enjoins, would morph into acceptance of same-sex marriage and homosexual sex, “acts of grave depravity,” as the Church teaches. That risk has now been realized […]

Mid-Year Message 2021

This message from Bill Dempsey [su_highlight background=”#fffd9c”](click the image above)[/su_highlight] was taped just before Notre Dame’s Commencement and provides a brief mid-year report on Sycamore Trust with remarks about Father Jenkins’s invitation to President Biden to be commencement speaker, the university’s unprecedented decision to withhold from alumni information about Catholic representation on the faculty, and an […]

Notre Dame’s Student COVID Vaccination Mandate

The university is requiring all students, except those exempted for “documented” religious or medical reasons, to be vaccinated against COVID-19 as a condition for attendance in the fall, while faculty, staff, and campus service employees remain free to choose for themselves. This requirement raises issues relating to Notre Dame’s Catholic identity because of the vaccines’ […]

Biden’s Hit Man, an Unexpected Laetare Awardee, & Zahm House Blues

The University has announced an unforeseeable selection for the Laetare Medal, thrown up its hands in its efforts to bring law and order to Zahm House, and remained silent as to the 2021 Commencement speaker as evidence of President Biden’s unsuitability continues to mount. Here are the details: Biden and Same Sex Marriage (Cont.) A new […]

Biden, Abortion, and Notre Dame Commencement Redux

We open this bulletin with the first pro-abortion dividend of President Biden’s opposition to the Hyde Amendment and continue with some additional information we have just come across that bears upon our Open Letter to Father Jenkins urging him not to invite President Biden to be Commencement speaker. (We reproduce that Letter below and invite […]

The Equality Act, A Fourth Strike Against Biden

The House of Representatives has just endorsed an especially pernicious anti-religious freedom component of President Biden’s agenda, and accordingly we write you again about how ill-advised it would be to for Notre Dame to invite him to be Commencement speaker. Review Before describing this development, we review briefly what we’ve said so far. Two weeks […]
