This isn’t true.

Well, yes it is.

Complete bullshit.

Name one “liberal coastal elite school” that “hasn’t invited conservative speakers for decades”.

Pomona college.

Sure, but we can dispense with the idea that there is viewpoint diversity at ND.

That’s fine. Catholic is itself a diverse viewpoint. If you want other views they are widely available elsewhere

That’s actually not true. Even Georgetown doesn’t allow students to organize official pro choice clubs, and they sold MedSTAR hospital because the school didn’t want any connection to abortions performed there.

Wasn't that hospital sold years ago before the Georgetown Jesuits abandoned their Catholics mission?

Georgetown University all but rejected the prolife Catholic teachings along with many other tenets of Catholicism in recent years. You only need to look at their website and social media compared to Notre Dame to see that the Catholic faith is no longer part of Georgetown in a meaningful way, while Notre Dame is very much a Catholic institution.

Over the past few decades, Georgetown has become actively secular and moderately anti Catholic.

Heck, some of their student tour guides even brag that the university is "not into all that Catholic stuff".

PP is right. If someone wants a secular university that was formerly Catholic, Georgetown is a very stong secular alternative to very Catholic Notre Dame.

The only reason to get so upset about Catholic Notre Dame upholding Catholic teachings, including with its staff expectations, is that you want Notre Dame to fail in its Catholic mission, and you are upset that it is still a rock against the forces that are against it.

You don't have to agree with her views on abortion to recognize the problem: a professor faced intense pressure over her political beliefs and ultimately stepped aside. That's not a victory for dialogue—it's a warning sign.
A university should be a place where qualified scholars can lead despite disagreement, not where controversial viewpoints become disqualifying. If only certain opinions are acceptable in leadership, viewpoint diversity isn't thriving. It's collapsing.
Notre Dame can uphold its Catholic identity while still making room for intellectual disagreement. Those goals shouldn't be mutually exclusive.

Notre Dame is a Catholic achool.

The woman never should have been hired, let alone placed in leadership given her public statements on abortion and her stated views that she was going to work to undermine the Catholic mission of Notre Dame.

The school made a mistake and the mistake has been corrected.

If she wants to be at a former catholic university that now rejects Catholicism, she should try to teach at Georgetown.

(This is old news by the way)

Bingo

Go f yourself.

The point here it's a private Catholic college they can hire who they see fits best and an abortion person doesn't work for them. However abortioner is a better fit for a private liberal arts college that is non religious affiliated.

The point is you’re a forced birther who equates people who care about women’s health with satanists.

Go f yourself.

Why are you angry about one of the two flagship Catholic universities in the entire US being... Catholic?

I’m disgusted by the PP’s comment.
