Pro-life hands

Letter to the Editor | Friday, October 11, 2019

There is a quote attributed to St. Teresa of Avila that says, “Christ has no body now on earth but yours, no hands, no feet on earth but yours.” As Catholics, we are called to be Christ’s hands, body, and heart at work in, and in relationship with, the whole world. But what does it

On-campus maternity residence: An updated request

Letter to the Editor | Tuesday, October 8, 2019

Dear Fr. Jenkins, In recent weeks, the shocking news of 2,246 preserved human fetal remains found in the Illinois garage of the deceased abortionist Ulrich Klopfer has drawn national attention. Local, state and federal officials have called for an investigation of the findings. We now know that the 70 boxes storing the babies were dated 2000-2002.

There’s living blood on ‘pro-life’ hands

Jackie O'Brien | Monday, October 7, 2019

I’m guessing this title will generate a lot more hatred than Francine’s title, “There’s innocent blood on pro-choice hands,” published earlier this week. Unfortunately, the recent piece “There’s queer blood on homophobic hands” was hijacked by the pro-life movement and transformed into a piece attacking the pro-choice position. How is this related to the experiences

Is capital punishment ‘pro-life?’

Vince Mallett | Monday, September 30, 2019

This week is ​“Respect Life Week” at Notre Dame, ostensibly focusing on abortion and women’s health issues in the framework of an ethic of life. This week we’ll hear a lot about supporting women while protecting the life of the unborn, an enterprise which I think is both increasingly fraught and increasingly vital in our

Diversity Council | Tuesday, November 13, 2018

“I have learned that oppression and the intolerance of difference come in all shapes and sexes and colors and sexualities; and that among those of us who share the goals of liberation and a workable future for our children, there can be no hierarchies of oppression.” – Audre Lorde, 1983 Yesterday, I had the opportunity

Pro-life movement: Where were you?

Letter to the Editor | Wednesday, April 4, 2018

Two weeks ago, I joined the March for Our Lives in Washington. I, along with my peers in the city this semester, were joined by thousands of people, young and old. We marched to demand sensible gun control and reform. We marched to save countless young people, who had their young lives taken from them

Open letter to Fr. John Jenkins

Letter to the Editor | Thursday, January 18, 2018

To the Notre Dame community and the national pro-life movement: Late last semester, the University of Notre Dame decided to continue its involvement in the distribution of abortifacients and contraceptives through the University’s health insurance plan, after there was no longer any legal necessity to do so. With the March for Life approaching, we, the

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.
