I attended a Catholic high school near Notre Dame. I recall that a law professor named Charles Rice sent his children to the same school and he came in once a year to give a talk. He was conservative and used the power of reason to argue the existence of God. When I went to college I realized that men like Dr. Rice were the exception not the rule on university faculties. God bless people like Laura Hollis and Charles Rice who speak the truth.
Yes, I don’t know the current situation, but Notre Dame has a few really solid Catholic faculty. And too many of the other kind.
Also, I once taught there as a visiting professor in summer school, and I was very impressed by some of the students, by the Mass in the ND chapel, and by a ceremony in their Lourdes grotto.
But the Fathers at the top of the administration are the real problem, as we saw when they honored Obama with an Honorary Doctorate of Law—a guy who never wrote any legal articles and never really practiced law, apart from his baby-killing proclivities.
