Notre Dame’s Pro-Abortion Appointment Exposes Conciliar Apostasy
The EWTN News portal (February 11, 2026) reports that multiple U.S. “bishops” – including Kevin Rhoades of Fort Wayne-South Bend, Samuel Aquila of Denver, Robert Barron of Winona-Rochester, and Michael Olson of Fort Worth – have criticized the University of Notre Dame for appointing pro-abortion professor Susan Ostermann as director of the Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies. The institution defends its decision, claiming Ostermann’s personal views won’t influence her role. This controversy reveals the theological bankruptcy of conciliar structures masquerading as Catholic.
