It’s interesting how the Vatican can service, or accommodate both sides, religious and non-religious alike...One might have the tendency to ask why...

This isn't the Vatican. This is Notre Dame, a separately incorporated nonprofit corporation in the State of Indiana. It hasn't been controlled by the CSC--- the Holy Cross fathers --- since 1967. There isn't any direct "institutional" line of ecclesiastic authority involved.

The most that could happen, I think --- we went all over this when ND gave the their damned honorary doctorate to the Obamanation -- is that the Bishop of Ft. Wayne-South Bend, Bp Kevin Rhoades, could retract their right to call themselves a Catholic University. It would be dramatic --- and I wish he would --- but it probably wouldn't change anything.

A kerfuffle came up last year at University of Santa Clara, a Jesuit institution, which resurrected the question of whether they should lose their Catholic recognition after Scandal #84755, and a survey revealed the the majority of these Lo-Fo undergraduates did not even know it was a Catholic university.

Shameful. Outrageous, Pathetic.
