Your defense of Notre Dame strikes me as a bit ‘second-hand’ and somewhat dated. Let me put it into bible-story terms.
There once was a man who was humble and hid rather than be king [he was tall and commanding]; this man later became a war-hero that the people said “killed his thousands” & he was involved in many victories over the enemies of the Israelite people.
Pretty praiseworthy, no?
Well, later on this same man becomes prideful and tries to fill the role of Priest in addition to that of King... and so stepped out of his [literally] God-given authority and into the state of rebellion. For this reason God determined that his line would lose the kingship. The king then turns away from God and enters a tormented downward-spiral until he goes visiting a witch... that man was King Saul.
His beginning-state did not match his ending-state.
My point is that time & decisions change both people and organizations.
Very well put!
It is a huge, world-wide community. You condemn it because of the actions of a few misguiided men.
