I’ve noticed that Notre Dame and DePaul have gone to the darkside/Left. A real shame as ND and DePaul used to be great centers of education and stalwarts of Catholicism.

(I’m Jewish but I like good institutions of learning no matter what their religious basis is. I went to a Baptist-founded college, Temple Un. and then a secular one, American Un. Leftists got them both but there is some hope for their recovery).

Hesburgh was a good man but he often went offtrack a bit and ended up with the Left.

Now, my guy was the late Cardinal John O’Connor (NY). This man was an intellectual giant on foreign affairs. Loved talking to him.

As I told a friend today, I once met Cardinal Mindszenty (Hungary), another Catholic stalwart, a man of guts in the face of communist tyranny. Also a Russian friend of mine spent years in the Soviet gulag in Siberia with Ukrainian Cardinal Shlipsy (sp). You’d be amazed at what doors that relationship opened up to Avram, a Soviet Jew and myself when we spoke before Ukrainian groups.

We are all brothers and sisters under God, except at GTU.

” We are all brothers and sisters under God, except at GTU.”

Yes we are! You have had an interesting education on many levels.
