Reversing a decision made last week to end contraceptive coverage for staff and students, Notre Dame said on Tuesday that although it follows Catholic teaching against the use of birth control, the school won't interfere with the contraception coverage maintained by the insurance company because of the "plurality of religious and other convictions among its employees."

So Notre Dame said that although it follows Catholic teaching against the use of birth control, it doesn't really follow Catholic teaching against the use of birth control.

If they really followed (and believed) Catholic teaching, they'd know that the prohibition on artificial contraception argues from natural law, not revealed law, and is thus binding on all people, despite any "plurality of religious and other convictions".

As an ND alum sadly explained to me, "ND isn't a Catholic college, it's just a college where a lot of Catholic people go"
