Browne’s statement noted that employees’ access to the mandated provisions could be reversed at a later date, subject to the outcome of Note Dame’s legal challenge.

This is what real men of God do when the state demands they sin.

A Catholic educational institution that does not hold and teach Catholic doctrine has no rational to exist. Notre Dame lost forever its soul when it conferred an honorary degree on the vile abortion promoting Obama.

Sounds like Father John Jenkins, CSC, is still president.

For a Catholic priest, he does not follow Catholic teaching...

That is not Father Miguel Pro, is it?

But it is probably from Mexico in the 1920's and 1930's.

Notre Dame said back in 1967 that they would no longer follow Church teaching.

The communists Democrats and their entire empire with King Obama as it’s leader have America by the neck. America is finished unless he is impeached and we get the Senate and keep the house. Even then it will be hard to overthrow the power of the Administration. By the time of 2014 overthrow elections King Obama will have finished well over 3/4 of his transformation and may never be repealed.

That is Fr. Francisco Vera. Death rather than sin.
