Re: NOTRE DAME, IN - New Faculty Hiring Policy Undermines Catholic Identity as University Declines to Release Hiring Results
by Virginia Berry
I am a mother of a Notre Dame graduate. She graduated 10 years ago but even then I had a hint of the lack of Catholicism at Notre Dame. Thanks be to God she did not lose her faith completely and has now grown in her relationship with God. She is a Catholic homeschooling mom using Seton curriculum. She has found very strong Catholic Moms who share her love of God and love of her Catholic faith. Since the Cardinal Newman Society has now given strong Catholic parents the information many had to search for, Notre Dame will find their student body changing and maybe even declining. But there are so many non Catholics who want to go there for the prestige that the decline may take years. I have met other mothers who were not so fortuate ---their children have left the faith and some even have declaried themselves gay after graduating from Notre Dame. If by word of mouth these negative ideas are circulated, Notre Dame will not be the choice of truly Catholic families. I am not saying that while my daughter was at Notre Dame, the atomsphere was anti Catholic but it there many things happening on campus that should not have happened on at truly Catholic Campus. As Father Jenkins suggested, we must pray and do novenas and promote this among thousands of people who support project Sycamore, if we expect to see major changes at Notre Dame to get it on the Cardinal Newman Society's list of Catholic Colleges. I now live near Benedictine College in Atchison, Kansas which is on the list. WOW what a wonderful place to go. My husband and I attend many of the events when they bring in truly Catholic Speakers like Scott Hahn, Dr. Ted Sri, Father Benedict Groeschel Project Sycamore and Notre Dame will be in my prayers.
