Notre Dame’s Evisceration of Catholic Identity Signals Apostate Trajectory
The Catholic News Agency portal reports on the University of Notre Dame’s elimination of “acceptance and support for the Catholic mission” from staff values, framing this as part of a broader “update” to institutional priorities. Heather Christophersen, the university’s Human Resources President, claims this change intends to make Catholic mission “all-encompassing” while simultaneously admitting the institution does not monitor staff religious affiliation. The article contrasts this with positive developments in other dioceses – Hartford’s new schools and St. Anselm College’s $40 million donation – presenting Notre Dame’s secularization as merely administrative refinement.
