Jenkins is just a flunky. It is the Board that rules.

This is a huge betrayal that will injure every other argument made by other parts of the Catholic Church.

The Diocese is Ft. Wayne/South Bend, the Bishop is Kevin Rhoades. He's the one who has the power (obligation) to revoke ND's right to call themselves Catholic.

Bishop Kevin C. Rhoades
915 South Clinton
P.O. Box 390
Fort Wayne, Indiana 46801

Phone: (260) 422-4611

The form of organization is a corporation. Their relationship with with the CSC (Congregation of the Holy Cross) is labyrinthine and equivocal. They have a Board of Fellows which selects a Board of Trustees (only 5 out of 50, I read, are CSC) which vote on their own members/successors, making their governance --- as I understand it --- insular and self-perpetuating.

The President is Rev.John Jenkins, C.S.C., and his superior is:

Very Rev. Hugh W. Cleary, C.S.C.
Superior General
Congregation of Holy Cross
Via Framura, 85
00168 Rome, Italy
