Open Letter to Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., President, University of Notre Dame
Please permit me to speak bluntly about your announced purpose to participate in the March for Life and to "invite other members of the Notre Dame Family to join me." Notre Dame should have had an official presence at every March for Life since 1973. But until now it never has. Notre Dame students, with the encouragement of Campus Ministry, participate in the March but the University, as such, has not done so. To put it candidly, it would be a mockery for you to present yourself now at the March, even at the invitation of Notre Dame students, as a pro-life advocate while, in practical effect, you continue to be the jailer, as common criminals, of those persons who were authentic pro-life witnesses at Notre Dame…[read more]
