Priest discusses criminal justice, reconciliation

Tom Naatz | Tuesday, November 14, 2017

As a part of a series of events from the Center for Social Concerns on the “Challenge of Peace,” Fr. David Kelly, the executive director of Precious Blood Ministry of Reconciliation in Chicago, delivered a lecture entitled “Violence and Trauma: Building a Community of Hope through a Restorative Framework.” The lecture was addressed to an

Justice in action

Colleen Zewe | Monday, September 11, 2017

The core value this year at Saint Mary’s is justice and this core value couldn’t come at a more opportune time, in my opinion. Recent events such as the ending of DACA, the U.S.’s departure from the Paris Accord and the violence in Virginia have us all questioning the state of justice in our country. But

Openness of mind and heart

Letter to the Editor | Friday, August 18, 2017

Each year at Saint Mary’s we focus on a core value of the College’s mission. This year, it’s justice. We must be ever mindful of the respect and fairness that we owe each other in accordance with every person’s God-given dignity. In the academic, spiritual and social life at Saint Mary’s, we strive every day

Justice crosses over to indie dance on ‘Woman’

Adrian Mark Lore | Tuesday, November 29, 2016

It has been about ten years since the French electro-house outfit Justice made its bombastic entrance into the vanguard of electronic dance music with the release of their debut LP, “Cross,” in 2007. That record was cathartic, invigorating, explosive, trashy and often just plain bad — yet in an excellent, arguably ground-breaking way. By pumping

Notre Dame for Restorative Justice

Letter to the Editor | Friday, April 15, 2016

According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, punishment for a crime, “in addition to defending public order and protecting people’s safety, has a medicinal purpose: As far as possible, it must contribute to the correction of the guilty party.” In 1980, 32 percent of Americans agreed the primary purpose of prison was to rehabilitate,

The American disillusion: Whose life matters?

Letter to the Editor | Monday, February 29, 2016

This article is a reflection on the manslaughter conviction of ex-NYPD officer Peter Liang. On Nov. 20, 2014, Liang, then a rookie police officer, convened with his partner, Shaun Landau, in the Louis Pink Houses, one of the most dangerous housing projects in East New York. Both men were on a vertical patrol, in which

Operation Streamline: injustice in our justice system

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, February 18, 2016

The sound of chains rang in our ears. More than 50 migrants stood together in shackles, awaiting their mere 25 seconds in front of a judge who would sentence them to up to 180 days in prison followed by deportation through a process known as Operation Streamline. Our class witnessed these court proceedings during which groups of

Join the movement

Jack Riedy | Friday, January 22, 2016

To Br. Bill Mewes, I’m glad to hear you agree that black lives matter. That such a statement could be controversial is one of the more depressing realities of today. Despite your agreement, you take issue with the efforts of the movement, particularly the focus on police brutality. Unfortunately, the equivalencies you drew are false

ND4Mizzou: Justice for all

Reynaldo Lopez | Thursday, November 19, 2015

On Wednesday, Nov. 11, a demonstration called ND4Mizzou, consisting of Notre Dame students, faculty and staff, demonstrated solidarity with students of color at the University of Missouri. Coincidentally, Wednesday was also Veteran’s Day. Just like every Memorial Day, on Veteran’s Day, we remember and thank those with the valor to defend our freedoms and liberties. We acknowledge those who

When I was kicked out of my dorm

Christopher Damian | Thursday, November 5, 2015

I deserved it. There’s no doubt in my mind that it was a decision of retributive justice. I had broken the rules, and removal from my dorm was a reasonable response. At the time I had a number of personal issues. I didn’t have the psychological, intellectual, social or spiritual resources to manage some of
