There is a legal procedure in canon law in the Church. The property at Notre Dame essentially has been stolen by a group of heretics, anti-Catholics, and deviant clergy who oppose Church teachings and are abusing the property for their own twisted agenda. What should happen is canonical legal procedures should be pursued for the return of the property to lawful Catholic authorities in communion with the Church. And ALL of the anti-Catholics, heretics, liberals, and perverts should be fired and removed from the premises. That is what should happen.

Seen a lot of weird things in the Church, this was certainly one of the most embarrassing and disgraceful.

Strictly speaking, you would find more support for universal Christian causes in a lot of Southern Baptists than you would in the herd of CINOs that comprise ND.

The Catholic Church has never owned Notre Dame. It has always been owned by the Congregation of the Holy Cross, as a private college.

I believe the only authority the local Bishop has is in removing the school's privilege to call itself a Catholic University, or in rescinding the parish status of the campus church. I don't think he'd do the latter, because that would negatively impact the religious life of folks who didn't have anything to do with the decision.
