Really? How is it shallow? How is it short-sighted?
Granted that I did say “Your defense of Notre Dame strikes me as a bit ‘second-hand’ and somewhat dated;” however, I am compelled to point out that the ‘strikes me’ portion clearly indicates a SUBJECTIVE viewing on my part.
Also, how is using the life of a character chronicled in the bible short-sighted? How was my analysis shallow? {Yes it was informal and not in-depth; but an overview or outline is not necessarily shallow.}
>It is a huge, world-wide community. You condemn it because of the actions of a few misguided men.
Where did I condemn anyone on this thread? If anything I only offered you a slight warning/rebuke, and that is hardly a condemnation.
>>>>The wider Notre Dame family is one of the finest group of people in the world.<<<<
I dont doubt that for one minute. They should be putting pressure on Jenkins to drop the charges against real Catholics.
The Blessed Mother is more than a character in the Bible. To me she is immortal , a figure appointed by God to ear his child, a diety ordained by God. It is sinful for her name to be used at an institution that honors the greatest proponent of abortion in the Government today.
If that is short-sighted and shallow, then call me short sighted and shallow. It wont hurt me in the least.
