It is truly an amazing thing. A letter objecting to the HHS mandate and the absurd “accommodation” put out on Friday has already received such wide support.
The letter amazingly enough is on Notre Dame letterhead and was promulgated by O. Carter Snead Professor of Law, University of Notre Dame. It is signed by scholars, professors, University presidents, and more. Men and women of many religions, at Catholic schools, and non-Catholic schools, Rabbis and journalists.
It is truly an amazing thing and I am quite sure that support for it will only grow.
But I must note one glaring absence from the current list of signatories. The list contains the signatures of dozen of Notre Dame professors across disciplines. That is a wonderful thing. It is also signed by the presidents of some of the most prominent Catholic University presidents …

Fr. John Jenkins' reaction is being touted on the WH.gov site:

Rev. John Jenkins, President of the University of Notre Dame
“We applaud the willingness of the administration to work with religious organizations to find a solution acceptable to all parties.”
