Many Catholics continue to live on the brink of abandoning the faith--too scandalized or too hurt by their experience of the Church. By God's grace, my book has helped many to find their way back to the faith, or to remain in a Church they were ready to abandon...

The ice chapel was great and an example of how ND is a place where students live their faith. It’s also a place where they appoint a nastily a pro-choice administrator, where admissions clearly tries to evade federal antidiscrimination law, and the Main Building consistently pressures the law school to change from the best center-right law school in the country to the 25th best liberal one. It’s a problem that’s been going on for so long that it’s essentially a campus tradition.
Fr. Dowd has a chance to show bold leadership here by abandoning the administrative conventional wisdom he inherited and by following the example of his students and brother CSCs whose creativity turned an ice storm into a Catholic witness.

Must read. Article by @NDSMCObserver editor-in-chief.
Notre Dame still produces so much good for the Catholic Church from all over campus.
Yet this one horrific mistake is threatening to destroy all of it.
If you don’t reverse this appointment, you will see more and more of your best Catholic faculty and best Catholic undergraduate applicants turn away. This has already started happening in the past few weeks.
“The world offers you comfort, but you were not made for comfort. You were made for greatness.” - Pope Benedict XVI
Be courageous, Notre Dame.

A victim of clerical sexual abuse shared his story with Pope Leo XIV today.
“I didn’t hold back. I told him about the abuse,” said Ryan. The pope “just listened to me and then I put my questions to him and we spoke about each one at length.” ewtnnews.com/vatican/clerica…

A badly damaged pickup truck in South Bend, Indiana drew attention and online jokes from people who couldn’t believe it was still on the road.
But with help from one local resident, strangers looked past the spectacle, came together to raise money for a replacement and made a real difference for the man who depended on it. @SteveHartmanCBS reports. cbsn.ws/4sFmmbK
