Where Are The Voices Of Notre Dame Alumni?

According to Grok, there are three living U.S. bishops who are alumni of University of Notre Dame:
William Albert Wack, Bishop of the Diocese of Pensacola-Tallahassee, Florida (active).
B.A. (1989) and M.Div. (1993) from the University of Notre Dame.
Michael J. Boulette, Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of the Archdiocese of San Antonio, Texas (resigned 2025 upon reaching age 75; remains a living bishop).
M.Th./Master of Divinity (1975) from the University of Notre Dame.
Denis J. Madden, Auxiliary Bishop Emeritus of the Archdiocese of Baltimore, Maryland (retired 2015; remains a living bishop).
Ph.D. in clinical psychology from the University of Notre Dame.
Several bishops have rightfully condemned the University’s appointment of abortion advocate Susan Ostermann as director of the school’s Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies. But noticeably absent from this list are the alumni bishops of the University.

The following is an excerpt from Father Paul Kramer’s ISSUE 101 February 2026 Report.

This discusses but one example of the model that has become the standard operating procedure for the notorious false doctrines of the counterfeit Bergoglio/Prevost and Fernandez “synodal church” and their accomplices which have ensnared Catholics in their attempts to reverse the TRUTHS of the ONE, HOLY, CATHOLIC, and APOSTOLIC CHURH which JESUS CHRIST instituted.

Multiple U.S. Bishops Join Call for Notre Dame to Rescind Appointment of Pro-Abortion Advocate

Though backlash to the appointment has been growing for weeks, the university has not backed off the controversial decision.
A growing chorus of U.S. bishops on Feb. 11 called on the University of Notre Dame to rescind the controversial appointment of a pro-abortion advocate to lead one of the revered Catholic institution’s academic departments.
Earlier in the day Fort Wayne-South Bend, Indiana, Bishop Kevin Rhoades
issued a statement criticizing the university for appointing global affairs Professor Susan Ostermann as director of the school’s Liu Institute for Asia and Asian Studies.
Bishop Rhoades said the school’s appointment of Ostermann — in spite of her public and uncompromising support for abortion — had caused a scandal and threatened Notre Dame’s Catholic identity and mission. He urged the school to rescind the nomination before it goes into effect on July 1.
Several of Bishop Rhoades’ fellow prelates subsequently joined the call for Notre Dame to reverse Ostermann’s …

Oh, yes, Bishops! Thank you for your courage in calling to Notre Dame to rescind the appointment of pro-abortion, pro-sex outside of marriage, Susan Ostermann. She doesn't believe a child is a child until after 10 weeks gestation, and is deeply involved in spreading the 'gospel' of abortion. See for example the lies in this article:chicagotribune.com/…n-lies-about-abortion-have- …

Brooklyn Diocese to Pay Nine-Figure Sum to Settle 1,100 Sex Abuse Claims

Brooklyn Diocese to Pay Nine-Figure Sum to Settle 1,100 Sex Abuse Claims

The Brooklyn Diocese has agreed to negotiate a “global” settlement to compensate 1,100 people who accused priests and staffers of child sex abuse — a figure that will likely run into hundreds of millions of dollars.
The payouts for these cases—90% of which date back more than 50 years to the 1960s and ’70s — will be a huge financial blow to the diocese, forcing it to unload real estate to raise the settlement money.
“To facilitate this global resolution, the Diocese is cost-cutting and setting aside significant funds to compensate victim-survivors,” Bishop Robert Brennan said Thursday in a “Dear brothers and sisters” letter to the church faithful.
“The process of marshalling these funds entails difficult financial choices, but the Diocese is committed to fairly compensating all meritorious claims,” Brennan said, adding that the payout cash will not come from parishioners.
“The funds used to make these settlements, and future ones, have not and will not come from your donations …

Spanish Bishops Turn Marriage Prep Into A Cheesy Video Game

The Spanish Episcopal Conference has presented its 2026 campaign “Matrimonio es más”, promoted by the Episcopal Subcommittee for the Family and Defense of Life on the occasion of Marriage Week around the feast of Saint Valentine. Under the slogan “Level up! El juego de dos” and the claim “El amor, la aventura más épica”, the initiative proposes as its central axis a professional video game designed to “validate” whether a couple is prepared for a definitive commitment. The game, developed specifically for the campaign, is already available on the official website of the project.
According to the Episcopal Conference itself, it is a “vocational and propositional” campaign that seeks to show the beauty of Christian marriage and present this vocation as a response to the deep longing of the human heart. The creative proposal has been developed in collaboration with the Faculty of Communication at the Pontifical University of Salamanca and designed by professionals in the video game …

Catholics’ Support for Trump’s Agenda Has Not Changed, In Spite of Relentless Attacks by Bishops

EWTN reports:
A Pew Research Center report found that Catholics’ support for President Donald Trump’s agenda has not changed significantly over the past year.
The analysis examined how U.S. religious groups view Trump, including his plans and policies and his ethics. It focused on Protestants, Catholics, and religiously unaffiliated adults.
The report, “White Evangelicals Remain Among Trump’s Strongest Supporters, but They’re Less Supportive Than a Year Ago,” includes information from a survey of 8,512 U.S. adults who are part of the center’s American Trends Panel (ATP).
The survey was conducted Jan. 20–26 and has an overall margin of error of plus or minus 1.4 percentage points.
The report found only a slight change from February 2025 to January 2026 in the number of Catholic participants who said they support all or most of Trump’s plans and policies.
The new Pew results are consistent with a recent EWTN poll which confirmed that U.S. bishops’ relentless attacks on President …

German Parish Sponsors Ecumenical Service Inspired By Harry Potter

A Catholic parish in western Germany has sparked controversy after announcing the celebration of a so-called “Harry Potter ecumenical service” inside a consecrated church, an event scheduled for next February 28 at the Church of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, in the city of Herne. The initiative, publicly promoted by the parish itself, has drawn criticism for using a Catholic temple for an event inspired by a fiction saga with magical elements.
According to The Catholic Herald , the event has been presented as an ecumenical service in which Catholics and Protestants participate by drawing on the symbolism and imagery of J. K. Rowling’s literary series. The event is scheduled for 5:00 PM and will take place both in the lobby and in the nave of the temple, a space dedicated to worship and consecrated for sacred use.
The invitation poster disseminated by the parish explicitly uses the language and symbols of the Harry Potter universe. It invites “fans and newcomers to Hogwarts” to participate …

Leo Has Plenty Of Time To Meet With Heretics, But No Time For SSPX

Joe McLane, host of A Catholic Take, points-out the fact that Pope Leo appears to have plenty of time to meet with people like Fr. James Martin, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Al Pacino, Jonathan Roumie, Michael Bublé, pro-abortion pro-lgbt Senator Amy Klobuchar, a “married” homosexual couple and euthanasiaist Governor JB Pritzker. But Leo can’t seem to find the time to meet with Father Davide Pagliarani, superior general of the SSPX, even though a meeting with the pope was requested back in August 2025.
