  • Father Ted's Obituary
    For Immediate Release Feb. 27, 2015 Father Theodore Hesburgh of Notre Dame dies at age 97 Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C., president of the University of Notre Dame from 1952 to 1987, a priest of the Congregation of Holy Cross, and one of the nation’s most influential figures in higher education, the Catholic Church, and national and international affairs, died at 11:30 p.m. Thursday (Feb. 26) at Holy Cross House adjacent to the University. He was 97. “We mourn today a great man and faithful priest who transformed the University of Notre Dame and touched the lives of many,” said Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., Notre Dame’s president. “With his leadership, charisma and vision, he turned a relatively small Catholic college known for football into one of the nation’s great institutions for higher learning. “In his historic service to the nation, the Church and the world, he was a steadfast champion for human rights, the cause of peace and care for the poor. “Perhaps his greatest influence, though, was on the lives of generations of Notre Dame students, whom he taught, counseled and befriended. “Although saddened by his loss, I cherish the memory of a mentor, friend and brother in Holy Cross and am consoled that he is now at peace with the God he served so well.” In accord with Father Hesburgh’s wishes, a customary Holy Cross funeral Mass will be celebrated in the Basilica of the Sacred Heart at Notre Dame in coming days for his family, Holy Cross religious, University Trustees, administrators, and select advisory council members, faculty, staff and students.

  • Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh, C.S.C. Priest
    VOLUME 48, ISSUE 98 | FRIDAY, FEBRUARY 27, 2015 | NDSMCOBSERVER.COM REV. THEODORE M. HESBURGH, C.S.C. PRIEST GOD , COUNTRY, NOTRE DAME In memoriam of the impact Rev. Theodore M. Hesburgh had on the Notre Dame Family, the Nation and the Catholic Church. r. Theodore Hesburgh, whose unprecedented 35-year tenure as president of Notre Dame revolutionized the University, making him Fone of the most influential figures in higher education, and whose dedication to social issues brought him worldwide recognition, died Feb. 26. He was 97. When Hesburgh became the 15th president of Notre Dame in 1952, the University was comprised of all males. It was owned and operated by the Theodore Bernard Hesburgh Holy Cross Order with an endowment of $9 million and yearly student aid to tuition at $20,000. When Hesburgh retired in 1987, Notre Dame had grown its student body to include both men and women. He transitioned the school’s governance to a mixed board of lay and religious trustees that still operates the University today. The endowment had grown to $350 million over 35 years and student aid hit $40 million. His presidency transformed the school into the top-tier educational institution it is today. But Hesburgh was, first and foremost, a simple priest. “I would say if there is one thing that my whole life has been dedicated to, I’ve been a priest now for about 70 years, and I would hope they remember me as a priest,” Hesburgh told The Observer in May 2013. “‘Fr. Ted’ is the best title I have.

  • A Catholic's Dissent from the Bishops' Immigration Policy
    CIS Letterhead_Layout 1 7/26/12 4:34 PM Page 1 Center for Immigration Studies C I S April 2014 A Catholic’s Dissent from the Bishops’ Immigration Policy By Jerry Kammer ike many Catholics, I have been bitterly disappointed in the church’s negligence in its response to the pedophile priests. And as someone who thinks legal immigration should be reduced and illegal immigration should not be encouraged, I have been disappointed that the policy preferences of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops seem to be reducible Lto a slogan: “More green cards, less enforcement!” But after viewing a video of a presentation at an immigration conference last month at the University of Notre Dame, I now have a better understanding of the bishops’ immigration advocacy. But I also have a new criticism. The speaker was Kevin Appleby, director of migration policy and public affairs at the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Like me, Kevin is an alumnus of Notre Dame. I know him to be a man of great integrity and deep humanity. Appleby, is also skilled politically. I first became aware of his lobbying prowess on Capitol Hill in 2006, when the Senate Ju- diciary Committee passed a sweeping comprehensive immigration reform bill. Appleby, was at the center of a celebration that spontaneously broke out in the hearing room. Also there was Randall Johnson of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, who hugged Jeanne Butterfield of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. Frank Sharry, then of the National Immigration Form, slapped Appleby, on the back and acknowledged the lobbying effort he had led by exclaiming, “The Catholic boys did it!” “The Catholic boys” are an important part of the strange-bedfellows coalition that keeps pushing for the cumbersome pack- age of measures known as “comprehensive immigration reform”.

  • Mayor Marvin's Column
    MAYOR MARVIN'S COLUMN At this time of year, I am a keen observer of commencement addresses, having spent weeks writing one to deliver at the Bronxville High school graduation of 2008. It was the honor of my life. Tlus past month, I was struck fIrst by the number of extremely accomplished, ground breaking, brave people who were disinvited or respectfully backed out as commencement speakers after student and/or faculty protests. Snlith College nlissed out on one of the world's most pronlinent and powerful women, Christine Legarde, because, "she leads an imperialistic and patriarchal system," according to student organizers and just listening to her would be paramount to endorsement. What a lost moment to hear the triumphs and travails of a fellow woman who has navigated a traditionally male sphere. To her credit, the President of Stnith College, KatWeen McCartney, refused to rescind the invitation stating that she is, "committed to leading a college where differing views can be heard and debated with respect." However, Ms. Legarde cancelled given the protests. A similar situation occurred at Rutgers when Condoleeza Rice gracefully bowed out after not only students but the faculty council said just listening to her, "was encouraging a world that justifIes torture," Completing the First Amendment repression hat trick, Haverford College caused Robert Burgeneau, former Chancellor of the University of California, Berkeley to withdraw as commencement speaker. Students wanted him, as condition of attendance, to formally apologize for allowing police to use batons at an Occupy protest in 2011. Truth be told, Chancellor Burgeneau actually launched an investigation after being disturbed by a videotape of the baton use.
