The University of Notre Dame is set to cover a series of historic Christopher Columbus murals prominently displayed in a central building on campus.

Notre Dame President Rev. John Jenkins announced Sunday that Columbus’s arrival to the new world “was nothing short of a catastrophe” for the native peoples.

Human beings are not native to the western hemisphere but the hatred of white peoples drives this train. Asian immigrants welcomed, European immigrants not welcomed.

If they take government money the government owns them and sets the rules.

They could fight it but they don't want to. They believe everything will be fine if they just give in.

It won't.

The agitators are busy planning their next attack.

Fr.Jenkins has been off-track for some time. Unfortunately, the Church has been pretty much divided as is our culture these days. There are plenty of good, faithful priests who would correctly disagree with him.

We are busy praying for our Church these days...as we are ALL instructed to pray for our leaders ....including those in government.

Chris Columbus was the Neil Armstrong of his day. A sad and pathetic erasing of western history.

As bad as things might be today, at least no native has to worry about something like This happening today.

The Catholic Church has been a disaster for little boys since their founding. I think they should be disbanded and all of their properties sold, and their funds distributed to the poor and worthless of the world.

“So the president of a Catholic University views the spread of Catholicism as a catastrophe...Sounds like he wants to run for pope.”

I am so sick of this ridiculous PC stuff! Yuck. The universities and the leftist that run them have totally lost their minds and forsaken honest scholarly inquiry.

BTW, I’m Choctaw, and like Max American, far prefer the American Indian “label” than the “Native(or Indigenous) American” vagueness.

I am not an unbiased observer because as I have stated here before I hate Notre Dame and consider it an embarrassment to Catholicism. I root for them to lose every game to play and enjoy watching them get their asses kicked. Jenkins is a scumbag and always has been.

“So what should be displayed instead? Piss Christ; would that pass muster with this fool? Virgin Mary covered in dung, is that artistic enough for him?”

How a about a mural of the Spanish Inquisition in action?

It is kinda surprising they never figured that one out.

The guys in Central/South America built walls and pyramids.

The Aztecs also practiced human sacrifice on a mass scale, mostly using victims from lesser tribes who were captured in "Flower Wars" for that very purpose. Indeed, if one compares the number of Russians deliberately murdered by the Nazis in "special actions" vs the the whole Russian population and the number of non-Aztec natives murdered by the Aztecs in human sacrifices vs the non-Aztec population, the numbers might not be too different. The Aztec mass murder machine was so frightful for the non-Aztecs that they volunteered by the thousands to help Cortez obliterate the Aztec nation. Just read William Prescot's The Spanish Conquest of Mexico and Peru.

Why does Notre Dame continue to pretend to be a Catholic University?

...because it makes them a lot of money from people who still think it’s Catholic.

when I attended Notre Dame in 70-74, they had a small Knights of Columbus building on campus.

I checked a 2018 map of the campus and found it was still there. Wonder what the Knights think of this.

I am thoroughly disgusted with the University’s actions. I’m going to complain about this idiocy.

This Catholic Talibanism is nothing short of a catastrophe for Western Civilization.

why aren’t the latinos and espanoles protesting this? CC And Amerigo V were sailing under Spain’s flag, with Spanish troops as enforcers. One would think they would be overjoyed that America was discovered by latinos. /s?
