Reclaim the idea of America

Dane Sherman | Friday, September 15, 2023

Swings, lawn chairs, benches, tables, blankets and anything else that could protect our bums from the prickly grass. It wasn’t a concert. It wasn’t a play. It wasn’t any old barbecue. Stuffed into every crevasse in the backyard of a small little southern church, we had all gathered for something crazy.  We were transfixed with

Rev. Hans Zollner delivered this year’s annual Keeley Vatican Lecture Tuesday night at the Eck Visitor Center. The annual lecture seeks to deepen “Notre Dame’s connection to the Holy See by bringing distinguished representatives from the Vatican to Notre Dame to explore questions involving Notre Dame’s Catholic mission.” The topic of his lecture was the sexual

Art and the Church: Madonna and the child

Trevor Lwere | Monday, February 21, 2022

If it were a country, the Catholic Church, with an estimated 1.2 billion followers, would be the most populous in the world. Nations have had their fair share of trouble in keeping large swathes of people under a common identity. Yet, the Church has stood the test of time. How has the Church been able

Inclusivity includes Jews, too

Blake Ziegler | Wednesday, April 7, 2021

As a Jewish student, something I’ve noticed during my time at Notre Dame is that most people don’t know much about Judaism. That makes sense, considering we’re a Catholic university, but it also means a large portion of our community has likely not been exposed to anti-Semitism. The purpose of this column is not to

Churchgoers, stay home

Blake Ziegler | Wednesday, April 15, 2020

The difficulties in containing the spread of coronavirus has raised legitimate concerns across the nation. When will this be over? How long until we can return to our jobs or schools? Is social distancing the new norm? Many Americans have turned to faith as a steady rock, and this could not have come at a

There is no separation of church and state

BridgeND | Wednesday, November 28, 2018

There is no such thing as separation of church and state. The two are totally inseparable, and what the modern interpretation of the term really means is the substitution of one church for another. One which is pretty gross, in my opinion. For clarification, I’m not saying that separation of church and state isn’t desirable

Please, not more humanity

Joe Nolan | Monday, September 24, 2018

I am a Catholic, but in light of the sexual abuse perpetrated by other Catholics, I am ashamed to be a Catholic. The Greeks considered music an essential component of a person’s education. The ability to recognize and orchestrate harmony from separate melodies was a human skill in a universe that, for all its imperfections,

This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bou This Thursday, Feb. 16, the 93rd annual Bengal Bouts will begin its preliminary rounds. A men’s boxing tournament that benefits the Holy Cross Mission in Bangladesh, Bengal Bouts seems to perfectly combine two integral aspects of Notre Dame’s identity: a passion for sports and a commitment to social impact.

This week, From the Archives takes a long overdue look at the history of Bengal Bouts. While this tournament predates the Observer by nearly four decades, we uncovered a selection of stories that capture at least a part of the rich history of this Notre Dame tradition.

We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department We asked you to Ask The Observer Sports Department and you responded with the request: “Northwestern @ Notre Dame 2014 Football Breakdown”. That game was a heartbreaking loss for a Notre Dame team that had started 6-0 before stumbling down the stretch to a 7-5 record. A bowl game win over LSU salvaged some optimism for the program’s future, but that loss to Northwestern was a shocking result that contributed to one of the more appalling stretches of Irish football in the Brian Kelly era.
