Shame. You ought to sponsor a workshop: Today's Notre Dame Student. Then bring in six of the squarest, straightest, clear-eyed, smart-thinking, logical Catholic students you can think of...and of course one freak, for "diversity."

LOL, I wouldn't mind. I wonder if anyone would come? At least here where I am. I did help with a Confirmation group 2 years in a row and I can tell you, it ran about 50-50 and I had a good group. We discussed, and I stressed, different 'opinions' on things such as gay marriage, married priests, abortion. It was clear to see that the liberal, leftie, liberation theology AmChurch fueled Catholic HS education had an effect. Yet it was better than the alternatives. But conservatives were maybe half. At most.

I would enjoy visiting Notre Dame, with my son, and experiencing something other than the stereotypes we've come to hear about. The Catholic University I attended has fallen far and fast.

I talked to the executive director of alumni relations at Notre Dame today, Tuesday, October 18, and he said they are getting loads of letters and phone calls. If you didn't sign yours yet, the time is now because the protest is having a good effect. It was suggested that Fr. Jenkins is preparing a statement and may cancel "Queer Film Festival." Go to:
