Notre Dame Scandal Exposes Conciliar Apostasy in Catholic Education
EWTN News reports (February 21, 2026) that U.S. “bishops” are continuing to urge the University of Notre Dame to reverse the appointment of pro-abortion professor Susan Ostermann to lead the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies. While the “bishops” condemn the appointment as “scandalous” and incompatible with Catholic mission, their failure to reject the conciliar principles of academic freedom and religious liberty—upon which Notre Dame bases its autonomy—exposes their complicity in the apostasy of the post-conciliar Church. The university’s invocation of “integral human development” further reveals its abandonment of supernatural Catholic education for naturalistic humanism.
