Viewpoint
- Academic freedom safe with Ex Corde (By CHARLES RICE )
In November, the United States bishops will consider an Application of the norms of Ex Corde Ecclesiae, the 1990 Apostolic Constitution on Catholic Universities. Notre Dame and other universities have reservations about the Application as a threat to their "institutional autonomy." The universities claimed that autonomy in their 1967 Land O' Lakes statement: "To perform its teaching and research functions effectively the Catholic university must have a true autonomy and academic freedom in the face of authority of whatever kind, lay or clerical, external to the academic community itself."
- Stigmatizing alienates eating disorder victims (LETTER TO THE EDITOR )
I am writing in response to Ms. Koch's letter in the Oct. 6 issue of The Observer. I commend Ms. Koch and Mr. Hagerty for their willingness to take on an issue as complex and overwhelming as eating disorders. I, too, am in agreement with the letters that have been published thus far concerning this subject. Notre Dame does severely lack any sort of effective offense in eating disorder education and treatment.
- Celebrate Saint Marcellus (LETTER TO THE EDITOR )
One of the really wacky and cool things that Catholics do that sets them apart from other Christians is that they venerate the actual bones of saints. Emphasizing the physicality of the body of the saint reminds the community that the glory of God is not beyond history, but among us and ever present in the lives of those around us. Veneration of relics, as the bones are called, is part of a tradition which dates back to the early days of Catholicism.
- Rand advertisement inconsistent with policy (LETTER TO THE EDITOR )
Editor's Note: The Notre Dame administration, not The Observer, has set forth a policy prohibiting The Observer from accepting advertisements from groups that espouse principles contrary to the moral teachings of the Catholic Church, specifically GALA-ND/SMC. The Observer does not choose this policy for itself.
