The Fighting Irish Aren’t Fighting Anymore
Once again, the University of Notre Dame has surrendered to the prevailing culture.
The reliquary chapel at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart contains 1,618 relics of more than 700 saints and blesseds.
Of note are remains from the Twelve Apostles, a piece from the True Cross, and a hair from the Blessed Mother herself.
Part of why we venerate the saints is that we are not merely spirit, not merely mind, but also body. Christ became man. He allowed himself to experience our full humanity that we might partake in God’s divinity by becoming saints. Our matter matters. Thus, it should matter at the alma mater of so many, that the president and leadership of the University of Notre Dame ignores Catholic teaching about human sexuality via policy and the covering of a legal fig leaf.
