People who obsessively cling to "their" off-target point when the thread is about something else are known as "hijacking the thread"; but go right ahead -- don't let me stop you.
I think if you were to meet any of us personally, you would find us more sympathetic than you realize to your need to cling to the reflected glory of ND through your father. But we would probably also pray for you to get your own life.
By the way, it wasn't just Fr. Jenkins who made the decision to let these travesties go on at ND. There is an entire staff of Fellows of the University, the Board of Trustees, Officers, Deans and University Committee Chairs involved in decision-making. Obviously, the majority are siding with Jenkins.
Enough! Go Irish!
