I'm "losing" it on many fronts. The MAJORITY of catholics don't want this to happen ... but it happens. The majority of people don't want gay marriage ... but it happens. On and on and on ... when will the MAJORITY of people be heard.

On this particular subject, there should be a price to pay for Notre Dame's behavior. Go ahead and "do bad" but here's the penalty. What's the penalty? If there is no penalty, then why are we having this discussion. (Maybe Notre Dame will go to hell instead of heaven?). Cut off the funding for them, stop them from being a Catholic university ... who controls that kind of thing and why are they NOT controlling it? And if nobody can control it, then why don't we change the subject?

Very, very good point. This is not a battle that can be fought in the public arena alone. This is a spiritual battle that is being fought in many dimensions.

Trust in Jesus. Many are in despair, or believe we are unable to change what is occurring and that is a spiritual attack.

The end has been written already. We can only do what we can with the arms we have been given: The Eucharist, prayer, our Lady, and the spiritual arms of the Bible and the Church. We can write and demonstrate and call on our leaders, but I do sense a spiritual miasma growing thicker by the day.

We are the grunts out here using the weapons we have been given. The enemy lost 2009 years ago. This is but the final moping up of the insurgents.
