Thanksgiving on a park bench

Gabriel Niforatos | Tuesday, November 19, 2019

There is a Thanksgiving that my family and I had one blustery November in New Mexico that stands out from others I have experienced. On its face, it might not seem all that different to you, but it is special to me in a way that is hard to describe. If I told you what

Street angel

Gabriel Niforatos | Monday, February 25, 2019

The “Notre Dame bubble” is a theme and topic that sometimes seems to be overshadowed by more “local” occurrences on campus. I have taken a number of courses, in topics ranging from theology to policy, that seek to address how Notre Dame is an island in South Bend. But this narrative often seems like it

Day of man with Siegfried Hall

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, February 5, 2019

Dearest members of the Notre Dame and St. Mary’s community, Do you like seeing your Notre Dame men dressed in very little clothing? Good. More importantly, do you like fighting homelessness? Great.

Socks can be the greatest gift ever

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, April 4, 2018

For Christmas this past year, a family member of mine got everyone socks as a gift — now I know what you’re thinking, because it’s exactly what I thought when I unwrapped the present — “oh … um, thanks … socks.” That initial emotion was short-lived and I was filled with remorse when I explored

“So we talked about abortion and marriage and re “So we talked about abortion and marriage and religious freedom, and I don’t know how we could not talk about it. I mean, we have to be authentic teachers. We’re not going to be silent about the truths that we hold dear.”

Joseph R. Biden has become the second Catholic President in United States history, but his position on abortion is “one that cannot be condoned” according to Rev. Robert Dowd. 

“Other bishops think that, because he’s a conscientious Catholic whose faith is obviously important to him, we should strike a more positive tone, particularly at the outset of his presidency. After all, in many ways Biden’s positions are more in line with Catholic teaching than Trump’s, particularly when it comes to migrants, refugees, climate issues, poverty and inequality,” Dowd continued.
