"Notre Dame's President Allows 'Monologues' and Gay Films"

That's the N.Y. Times headline. So, Fr. Jenkins, the university president, the much-touted great "Catholic hope" for the prestigious South Bend citadel, crumbles. But, let's backtrack a moment: isn't it already a major, major problem when a supposedly Catholic university needs to hope against all hope, in the first place, for a president to be the great "Catholic hope" for reform? In my opinion, this collapse in leadership means that this particular institution has no crediblity within the Catholic Church. We should give no more credibility to whatever emanates from this institution than we would give to any secular university--maybe less, since there is a strong dose of hypocrisy involved! Catholic parents, take note: there are many better places to send your tuition money.

Update: Here is the link to the statement of the Bishop of the diocese where South Bend is located. The Bishop rejects the decision of the university president and gives links to his previous statements explaining his problems with the university president's latest decision.
