yes. well, having spent 7 years at Catholic colleges maybe it was deemed sufficient , with another 4 or 5 years may have been too much for me anyway? can’t say.
don’t know.
Notre Dame is a big college and there are almost without doubt many good Catholics and others respectful of Judeo=Christian faith on the campus. I do not question this for a second.
The honors to the Baby-killer-in-chief were just so damned (word used advisably) appalling, and totally unnecessary! And it happened just about at the time when I was seriously deciding what to do (regarding further studies), so anyway I took the decision I did.
That same politician made Georgetown University cover up its Christian crosses or crucifixes and also other visible signs of Christian faith, when he visited there. And, you know he lied to get his health scheme passed, the biggest lie perhaps was his promise that it would never fund abortions ...
etc.
etc.
All I can say is that Notre Dame made a super-sized mistake (but one that was completely visible as such at the time, indeed I wrote a very respectful letter to the brass at Notre Dame but did not receive even the courtesy of a mimeographed form letter in reply).
I applaud your Notre Dame support and pray that it may help the college restore a credible administration.
Blessings,
Sadly, many Catholic universities in this country are not managed as such from the top. My three sons all attended a Jesuit high school and one of them a Jesuit university. The Jesuit university was far less Catholic than Notre Dame and the high school taught them to be a man for others, but seemed to be more interested in fund raising at times compared to a focus on Catholic teachings.
