Lenten Virtue that Lasts (What We Need Now): “Lent is nearly here and I find myself asking: what if all American Catholics embraced the challenge of the season and fostered lasting change?”
Why I’m Done with Notre Dame (First Things): “After twenty years on the faculty, I could no longer do Notre Dame. So I’ve bailed, without being sure what will come next.”
Notre Dame must choose courage (The Observer): “Over its history, Notre Dame survived and excelled because it was always unafraid of the danger before it and advanced toward its goals unapologetically.”
Notre Dame’s Leaders Are at Odds With Pope Leo (National Catholic Register): “By elevating an abortion advocate to head its Asian studies institute, the university’s administration is advancing a fatally fractured vision of ‘integral human development.’”
