Night of the living Dante

Raymond Ramirez | Friday, February 8, 2019

You’ve seen them shambling across the television screen and in numerous horror films: undead zombies, always hungry for human flesh. The zombie trope seems to be the antithesis of dogmatic theology’s teaching about the afterlife. Traditional destinations for the dead are heaven for the good, hell for the not-so-good, with a side trip to purgatory

Alexandra Muck | Thursday, November 10, 2016

“I regard Father Zahm as the greatest mind produced by the University in its long career, and perhaps the greatest man in all respects developed within the Congregation of the Holy Cross since its foundation,” former University president Fr. John W. Cavanaugh wrote in The Catholic World in 1922. Fr. John Zahm, who died 95 years

Megan Valley | Monday, October 3, 2016

Adorned with golden leaf crowns, roughly 250 Notre Dame students in Italian language and literature courses performed their fifth annual “Dante Now!” event Friday afternoon at the Grotto. “We got the idea from this group in Florence that was doing it with thousands of people,” research assistant professor Anne Leone said. “That was a theater group,

The first day of school

Emily McConville | Thursday, August 25, 2016

I spent the past two semesters abroad. Which was great; I’ll tell you way too much about it sometime. I did worry, though, about returning to classes at Notre Dame. Would I find them more difficult now? Would I like them? And the eternal question — is taking history and Italian and journalism instead of

The doors of perception

Raymond Ramirez | Wednesday, April 13, 2016

Why am I here? The old Baltimore Catechism of my parochial school years had a ready answer (as it so consistently and comfortably did): “To know, love and serve God.” But my current query is of a more specific nature: Why am I here, in the laundry room? Young or old, we’ve all experienced the

The Erotic Life of John Paul II

Christopher Damian | Thursday, March 31, 2016

A couple of years before he became Pope John Paul II, Cardinal Karol Wojtyla wrote to a Polish woman: “God gave you to me and made you my vocation.” The letter was one of more than 700 saved letters between he and Anna-Teresa Tymieniecka, a Polish-American philosopher he met in 1973. The year before Wojtyla’s

‘Dante Now!’ blends poetry, performance

Chris Carbonaro | Monday, October 12, 2015

Amidst the many football-related activities of a fall Friday afternoon, the Italian studies program gave visitors and students alike a much different option last Friday. Students in various Italian classes, donning robes, red cloth caps and golden wreaths on their heads, walked around campus in groups and recited excerpts from the Italian poet Dante’s “Divine Comedy” as

..
"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."
