I know several conservative Catholics who will be hoping that the Fighting Irish get their ass kicked by Alabama in the BCS National Title Game in January. The sad part of this is that they all were ND fans for years. However, since ND no longer follows the tenants of the Cathlic faith (e.g. Love for having Obama on campus and pro-gay campus groups santioned by the university), these guys no longer follow this formerly-Catholic University. You would think the the Pope would rip Father Jenkins a new one.
Some people just don't seem to understand that their decisions sometimes have consequences they didn't foresee.
