Notre Dame, like all private institutions follows the federal disclosure requirements when reporting crimes. So when the author says, ND can “refuse releasing any records it damn well pleases” that’s not actually true at all. Cases like sexual assault and serious crimes are required to be reported. Not sure what all…

I’ve watched all 10 of those games. Trust me ... I’m already well aware.

That is not true. Citizens arrests are an actual thing. Mall cops and Wal-Mart security guards are legally allowed to detain you if they catch you committing a crime. It depends on the state, but in many states literally any citizen can detain you if they see you in the act of committing a felony.

What’s the big problem with this? It’s not like the Catholic church has ever had to hide anything criminal, or done so in a systematic, institutionalized fashion that stigmatized and traumatized its victims. Nope, not to my recollection.

That is so unbelievably wrong, it’s hilarious.
