an undergraduate student body of 45,000 and visitors could gather more than a few out of control drinkers
And I’d bet not more than about .02% know anything about the Saint they claim to celebrate
On my daily mass reader, the entry for 17 march says St. Patrick. I’ll pray to him, like ill pray to st Katherine Drexel today, for special blessing
If you had ever been to Wexford and to the church where the have had perpetual adoration, you might feel insulted by penn state kids and tgeir apologists here
Perhaps penn state is just not in the mood for any more attention. The press must have camped out there and have them in sight
At least their behavior so far has not been in the name of a saint. Maybe st pat sought the intercession of The Lord on this. Not wanting kids getting alcohol poisoning in his name, there’s already bishops allowing lgbt banners in his name in their parades
I greatly respect your adoration of St. Patrick and your wish that everyone of Irish descent would also. But in America, the spirit of “everyone can be Irish” on St. Patrick’s day prevails. It’s a celebration of Irish ethnicity in America, not a religious holiday. Yes, to the faithful it is an abomination, but the faithful should also be tolerant lest they be judged. Pray for those who have not chosen as well, my brother.
