Jesuit schools, Notre Dame, pretty much all of them, I guess
aren’t Catholic. Says this list. Except those few, those happy few, those band of orthodox.
What’s most interesting about this is that the people being accused of not being Catholic enough–I’m not sure they care, really. I think, if Notre Dame is worried about a reputation, it’s worried about academic rigor and commitment to truth–not following the party line.
And if truth exists, it’s more important than the party line anyways. Or do we need to protect institutions from finding that truth?
Academic freedom is more important than academic fear.


It is only between God and His Church that the fullness of Truth subsists. So, stick with Church teaching and you’ll find a truth upon which authenticity lies. When you are authentic, people will follow and your reputation will astound them. Be Catholic, not Dutch Dominican.
