Notre Dame’s Pro-Abortion Appointment Exposes Conciliar Sect’s Moral Bankruptcy
The EWTN News article (February 11, 2026) reports on “Bp.” Kevin Rhoades’ expression of “dismay” and “strong opposition” to the University of Notre Dame’s appointment of pro-abortion professor Susan Ostermann to lead the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies. The article details Ostermann’s history of equating pro-life advocacy with white supremacy and misogyny while noting Rhoades’ citation of Ex Corde Ecclesiae and his call for Notre Dame to rescind the appointment before its July 1 effective date. Two faculty members have resigned in protest, with Professor Robert Gimello calling continued association “unconscionable.” This theatrical condemnation starkly reveals the conciliar sect’s systemic apostasy from Catholic principles.
