I guess the University of Notre Dame could be considered a well credentialed Catholic university that is qualified to teach church doctrine.

Not by anyone who knows better. Well-informed Catholics are aware the Notre Dame is a hotbed of heresy and apostasy. The religion department is headed by the notorious dissenter Richard McBrien.

We were never told there was no salvation outside the Catholic church.

There's no need to wonder why the Catholic Church is in such bad shape in the United States if the young men and women who should be our next generation of Catholic leaders are being given nothing but heresy.

My sister-in-law went to Notre Dame. She told me that it wasn't until after she left the university that she realized that every Mass she attended there was invalid. They always used invalid matter for the bread. Only wheat and water are allowed as ingredients.

I attended Notre Dame in the 50's. Even then the church was more conservative than it is now and I am staying with my statement. You seem to be a bit "uptight" about the church and focused on the material, rather than the spiritual. I wonder if red or white wine was served at the last supper? Gee, could it be an important element of salvation if the receipe for the host is so critical. I thought about making a comment about your meds but that would not be nice.

No wonder the Fighting Irish went 5-7 last season.
