Jenkins.. rejected Holtz's comments, saying "we must never question the sincerity of another's faith."... “While Coach Lou Holtz is a former coach at Notre Dame, his use of the University’s name at the RNC must not be taken to imply that the University endorses his views, any candidate or any political party. Moreover, we Catholics should remind ourselves that while we may judge the objective moral quality of another’s actions, we must never question the sincerity of another’s faith, which is due to the mysterious working of grace in that person’s heart. In this fractious time, let us remember that our highest calling is to love.”
