Kanye West “found Jesus” — but Bob Dylan did it first

Nia Sylva | Thursday, November 14, 2019

Kanye West has been born again. Anyone with even the slightest interest in mainstream culture knows this to be true. But that doesn’t make the release of his gospel-rap hybrid album, “Jesus is King,” any less noteworthy. The man once penned a song called “I Am A God.” He delivered lyrics that most Christians would

Jesus Christ and Kanye West

Ryan Israel | Tuesday, November 5, 2019

Three weeks ago, William Barr, the Attorney General of the United States and a prominent figure in the Trump administration, came to Notre Dame’s campus to deliver a speech at the law school. In his speech, Barr emphasized the importance of upholding Judeo-Christian values in our increasingly secular society, saying, “I think we all recognize

Liberalism’s Colosseum

Brennan Buhr | Monday, September 16, 2019

St. Ignatius of Antioch, martyred for his faith in the second century, remains one of the most compelling witnesses to the truth of Christ in Church history. Although very few biographical details are known about this great saint, Ignatius wrote a series of letters to various local churches in the eastern Mediterranean region describing the

Sri Lanka and Notre Dame: Christianity under fire

Jack Zinsky | Wednesday, May 1, 2019

Sri Lankan Christians were stunned when a series of bombings in Catholic churches killed 290 and left more than 500 others seriously injured. This comes only days after the devastating Notre-Dame Cathedral fire and the destruction of other French churches by fire around the same time. Catholics already in mourning for the loss of a

Earn the title ‘pro-life’

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, April 10, 2019

Let me start by saying that I would never personally have an abortion, but that is mostly due to my lack of a uterus. There is little pro-life in being anti-abortion. We must ask ourselves if it is enough to see a child born and not a child loved; a child born and not a

Julien Baker and the question of the self

Carlos De Loera | Wednesday, November 8, 2017

In 2015, at only the age of 20, Julien Baker released her debut album, “Sprained Ankle,” to much critical acclaim. It was mostly praised for its simplicity and for Baker’s ability to sing about personal struggles so openly and unabashedly. Now, at the very mature age of 22, Baker released “Turn Out the Lights” on

The final installment of a three-part lecture series, “The Francis Effort: His Impact on The Church and The World,” was delivered Thursday by Susan Wood, chair of the department of theology at Marquette University.

Hedge fund or mustard seed

Devon Chenelle | Wednesday, October 4, 2017

Much of the last half-century of Notre Dame’s institutional policy might be described as attempts to make us more similar to the secular powerhouses we so desperately wish to be recognized by as a peer. Although these efforts have met with mixed success, I have found a solution. Notre Dame ought join one of academia’s

Never a Christian nation

Letter to the Editor | Friday, February 19, 2016

In a Viewpoint column, “Threat to our religious roots,” Eddie Damstra claims every American president since Thomas Jefferson has been a Christian, Abraham Lincoln expressed faith in the Christian scriptures and electing a non-religious president would damage the essence of America, although, he generously concedes, “the election of a non-religious president would not destroy America.” Setting

..
"I have wondered for seven semesters now why this is such a politically apathetic campus. It is easy to assume a university that displays a photo of its most iconic president with the nation’s most iconic civil rights activist would proudly embrace its heritage of nonviolent protest. But this is not the case."

..
The Make-A-Wish club serves as the tri-campus community's point of contact to the Make-A-Wish foundation, a national nonprofit organization that gives grants to children from the ages of 2-and-a-half to 18 with life-threatening illnesses.

Instagram post 2195908705778065699_1726022560 “As you may know, I received 5,000 signatures and a protest on God Quad last spring, which — while compelling and interesting — was a bit of curiosity to me, because people were protesting against something that hadn’t been established yet,” said associate vice president of Residential Life Heather Rakoczy Russel in the Dahnke Ballroom last night. ..
Rakoczy Russel was looking to garner student feedback in crafting the off campus differentiation policies.  Surveys will be sent out to the class of 2022, the first class impacted by the off campus differentiation, but ultimately the policy will reflect Notre Dame's attitudes about community and identity.

...
"After making my heart suffer such a toll, I decided to redeem myself — and my stomach — by delighting in some real — I cannot emphasize that word enough — Mexican food. I searched the Internet for the best places in South Bend, heavily rolling my eyes at the lists featuring Chipotle and, yes, Taco Bell. Thankfully, I found several options that promised authentic food, and most of them were located on South Bend’s west side."
