Catholic Canon Law provides for automatic excommunication for abortion. Additionally, under Catholic teaching, artificial contraception is a mortal sin, undertaken at peril of eternal damnation and barring the perpetrator from receiving Holy Communion until they repent and undertake a valid Confession.<\/p>\n

Given the fact that some ACC members institutions perform abortions and\/or train abortionists, Notre Dame has no business belonging to the ACC, playing ACC opponents, or otherwise enhancing the ACC’s prestige or bolstering ACC revenues.<\/p>\n

North Carolina State might not openly announce involvement with surgical abortion, the way that, for example, Miami of Florida and Pitt have. But North Carolina State’s supposed campus “health” center, at healthypack.dasa.ncsu.edu\/care-provided\/womens-health\/pregnancy-options\/<\/a>, openly admits that it will suggest abortion as an option for pregnant women. They also, on their webpage itself, refer pregnant women, for supposed guidance, to the biggest abortion provider in the United States, so-called Planned Parenthood, as well as other pro-abortion “resources.” Particularly cynical and nauseating is a referral to a supposed “religious” resource that will suggest that prenatal child-killing is somehow consistent with religious faith. The latter point, of course, could only be considered blasphemous, if not demonic.<\/p>\n

North Carolina State’s campus “health” provider also indicates a willingness to provide so-called “contraceptives” at healthypack.dasa.ncsu.edu\/care-provided\/womens-health\/<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Artificial contraception by itself, as mentioned above, is gravely sinful. Yet, additionally, in at least some cases, regular so-called “birth control” pills actually also can cause chemical abortions. And North Carolina State’s campus “health” center also specifically references “morning after” pills as well.<\/p>\n

Given these serious and harmful ethical and moral lapses, Notre Dame should never play North Carolina State and should leave the ACC.<\/p>\n

In fact, the obvious question arises — why did Notre Dame join or partner with the ACC in the first place? This shocking situation calls into question whether there is a lack of due diligence, lack of leadership and lack of proper moral judgment among relevant university staff, including those making six- or seven-figure salaries.<\/p>\n

Let’s pray to do God’s Will, and let’s get the facts. “The Truth shall set you free.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
