Increasing numbers of parents among the nation's 63 million Catholics are turning their backs on the traditional powerhouse Catholic universities. They are gravitating toward a new breed of college that aims to attract students who place God's truth, moral absolutes and loyalty to Pope John Paul II above parties, sexual hookups and winning football programs.

This is great news.

I’ve only known a couple of graduates from Notre Dame. One of them was a truly a despicable jerk. He left me with a negative impression of the school.

Nice gratuitous slam.....I have only known a few graduates of the University of Michigan and truly, they are all jerks. hhhmmm...My Notre Dame logic might suggest that all UofM grads are jerks, but I know better.

I read the article carefully. My son attends Notre Dame and I can assure you, from the conversations I have had with his friends, it is still a very Catholic school, despite what is stated in this article......Just as with your comments about Notre Dame and mine about Michigan, we are both wrong, there are mighty good folks from each school. There is clearly a desire on the part of liberals in society to eliminate any effect religion may have on society, but lets not go assuming that all Catholic universities have abandoned their founding religion.

Well,....I might suggest that Georgetown has strayed a bit.
