CV NEWS FEED // Two University of Notre Dame faculty members, including a Roman Catholic bishop, have criticized President Rev. John Jenkins for imposing a COVID-19 vaccine mandate on campus. As CatholicVote reported, Jenkins announced earlier this month that “Notre Dame will require all students – undergraduate, graduate, and professional – to be fully vaccinated as a condition of enrollment for the 2021–22 academic year.” “Please register your vaccination at this site,” Jenkins wrote, providing a link. The web page Jenkins linked to includes a message asking students to “upload a picture of your vaccine card.”On Monday, the student-run newspaper...

Pretty good chance Notre Dame President Jenkins was the super spreader, and gave it to President Trump and many others at SCOTUS event. Ask how I can figure this out and NO one else is discussing it.... So I’ll say it. Does anyone believe that a possibility exists that this was deliberate. When did Jenkins learn this “Colleague” (code word for?.?), had covid. Was it prior to Saturday’s scotus event in the rose garden? How is this not front page news regarding contact tracing. I find it interesting he comes back from scotus event and releases a statment last Monday...

[Catholic Caucus] Notre Dame President Won’t Ban Campus Porn Fr. John Jenkins snubs petitions for porn filter on Notre Dame's wifi system SOUTH BEND, Ind. (ChurchMilitant.com) - The president of Notre Dame has pushed back against calls to block access to pornography on the campus wifi.  In October last year, a group of around 80 male Notre Dame students called for a campus-wide porn filter in a letter to the editor in student-run newspaper The Observer. The open letter noted that an online petition supporting the cause already had about 1,000 signatures from students, faculty and staff. Enough Is Enough (EIE), a group promoting...

NOTRE DAME, IN — Last week we reported how Notre Dame has decided to do voluntarily precisely what it insisted to the courts repeatedly it could not do in good conscience — allow its health care contractors to provide free abortifacients and contraceptives to its students and employees. We return to this below. But first, we disclose a change that the university is making respecting abortion in its Flexible Spending Account (FSA) plan for employees that is even more serious. Under the Notre Dame plan, an employee may contribute up to $2,600.00 a year to the FSA account and receive...

Recently Norte Dame University, a putatively “Catholic” school, denied certification as a sanctioned on campus club to a group of students who wanted to come together to defend marriage. Father John Jenkins’ administration ran the students in a circle with technical objections of the type that it would never hold against a Pro-gay marriage club or any Gay Lesbian or transgendered club. Because it has long since abandoned any pretense of caring about Catholic doctrine, Notre Dame like dozens of other non-Catholic Catholic schools, has a Gay Lesbian and Transgender club. Panting after acceptance by the secular world, Notre Dame’s...

I take no joy in being able to say “I told you so”, to Father John Jenkins the president of Notre Dame University. Father Jenkins was an original cheerleader for Barack Obama virtually from the first day of his first term. Notre Dame, its faculty and student body were absolutely beguiled by Obama. Jenkins invited him to speak at the university’s 2009 commencement ceremonies. At the time Father Jenkins and his faculty hid behind the fact that they have a tradition of inviting a newly elected president to be their graduation day speaker, but that just didn’t wash. Tradition aside...

Just about four months ago the Democrats’ media broke the heartbreaking story of how a double tragedy had struck Manti Te’o a star football player for Norte Dame. The reports told of how Te’o’s grandmother in Hawaii had died and shortly thereafter his girlfriend, the love of his life, had died from injuries sustained in a car accident or leukemia – whichever carried the narrative better during a particular retelling of the story . Te’o’s grandmother Annette Santiago, was real and there is no reason to doubt his deep sense of loss at her death, but the “life” and “death”...

Fr. John Jenkins, President of Notre Dame University, sits on the board of directors of Millennium Promise, an organization dedicated to fighting poverty in Africa that promotes contraceptives and abortion, it has been revealed. The finding comes as the controversy over President Obama's award and speech at the University reaches a fever pitch in the last week before the event. As the president of Notre Dame, Fr. Jenkins has received the majority of the heat for the scandal. However, despite the criticism of over 70 U.S. bishops and over 350,000 petitioners, Jenkins has steadfastly continued to defend the university's honoring...
