Quite obviously the chapel is inconsistent with Ave Maria’s reputation for embracing authentic Catholic culture and tradition.

I'm not sure where Michael Rose got the idea that they have this kind of reputation. What I've heard from many different people is that Ave Maria is basically the permanent campus of World Youth Day. It's far from anything close to "Catholic culture and tradition."

A fine institution like this Ave Maria doesn't deserve a modernist monstrosity like this.

It looks to me like the monstrosity of Ave Maria University is getting a building that symbolizes them very well. The whole project is a megalomaniac fantasy. The church building represents that superbly.

Yet another attempt of the schism to hijack all threads Catholic and to continue to play make-believe Catholic to scandalize those who are Catholic.

Michael Rose got the idea that Ave Maria has a reputation for embracing authentic Catholic culture and tradition by three means.

First, Michael Rose IS Catholic and would know Catholicism when he sees it.

Second, Rose does not mistake the chronic grumpiness that IS the schism du jour for the eternal truth that is Catholicism. Whining, moaning, groaning and ummmm, ummmmm, vitching are not Catholicism.

Third, Rose is not in schism and so he knows better than those impudent few who have fallen for the schism.
