The Notre Dame Board of Trustees have jurisdiction here.

There is one part of Cannon Law that may apply to Father Jenkins. If he is considered the pastor of Notre Dame University, Bishops cannot interfere with pastors.

But Father Jenkins has taken the oath of obedience. So if the Bishops demanded his resignation, along with the head of his order, he would be forced to resign.

But someone with more knowledge than myself would have to look into this.

I refuse to call him Father.

He is just jenkins to me.

Any so called priest who allows the baby killing Obama to get an award from his school and then refuses to drop the charges against real Catholics is no priest in my book nor even entitled to being called Mr. Much less Fr.
