The University of Notre Dame has reversed its decision to end free contraceptive coverage for employees.
The insurance company used by employees at Notre Dame will keep a plan with contraceptive coverage with no co-pay, US News & World Report reported Tuesday.
“The University of Notre Dame, as a Catholic Institution, follows Catholic teaching about the use of contraceptives and engaged in the recent lawsuit to protect its freedom to act in accord with its principles,” the university said in an email Tuesday.
“Recognizing, however, the plurality of religious and other convictions among its employees, it will not interfere with the provision of contraceptives that will be administered and funded independently of the University.”
The university had previously said it would stop coverage for employees of the university on Jan. 1.
The original decision came after the Trump administration rolled back an ObamaCare requirement that employers include birth control coverage in their health insurance plans.
The Trump administration last month published rules that said any for-profit or nonprofit employer or insurer can stop following the birth control mandate on moral and religious grounds.
ObamaCare mandated that employers offer health insurance that covers birth control without a co-pay, with exemptions for houses of worships and some companies.

Who would ever have thought that Notre Dame would ever stop being more Catholic than the Pope? I guess I can set aside the wax effigy and the pins…

Inside source: Notre Dame is officially anti-Catholic but there are pockets of Catholicism; Boston College is also officially anti-Catholic but you’ll find a Catholic here or there, no pockets,

Ah, the Jesuits! Like all the other orders, they ingratiated themselves with the established political orders to begin amassing temporal power.
Then, when some of them began to challenge the established order in El Salvador, the established political order killed them with nary a whisper of protest from their Church…
When the revolution comes, the wrong people always get shot…. Is Mr. Dunkle’s son still alive? If so, he’s probably a so-called “pro-lifer.” Otherwise, he’d be dead.

Ah the Jesuits, the Jesuits. Only two priestly orders were founded to combat specific heresies — the Dominicans for the Albigensian and the Jesuits for the Protestant.
Now how many Albigensians have you met recently?

A comment made during the final stage of the siege of Beviers– when the troops had broken into the town and ready to kill all the Albigensians– exemplifies the cruelty implicit in the so-called “pro-life” movement.
When asked how to distinguish the Albigensians from the Catholics, one of the nobles (not Dominic, as has been reported) replied, “Kill them all; God will sort them out.”
