Fr. Jenkins thinks his position as Notre Dame’s president means people
are dying to hear from him. Truthfully, we aren’t. Not if he’s going to
sound like an excuse-making infanticide cheerleader.
University of Notre Dame President Fr. John I. Jenkins once again has revealed his moral obtuseness. I’m no stranger to criticizing
Notre Dame’s “leader,” and, frankly, it should be done by others much
