for anyone who loves the University of Notre Dame:
As President, Biden has become the Church’s most formidable adversary on abortion, the issue the United States bishops have declared their “preeminent priority.” By making the restoration of Roe v. Wade the centerpiece of his campaign, he has made blindingly clear the infirmity of his title to an award bestowed on Catholics for “illustrating the ideals of the Church.” His continuing claim to this award dishonors both the Laetare Medal and the University and scandalizes her students and alumni as well as the broader Catholic community.
During Father Jenkins’s tenure, honors previously granted to Theodore McCarrick, Bill Cosby, and Jean Vanier were revoked to preserve the integrity of the awards and protect the University’s reputation. The case for rescinding President Biden’s Laetare Medal is even more compelling, given his relentless pursuit of policies that promote abortion and violate the dignity of human life.
