Notre Damned is Catholic shame and Catholics dishonor.

I have had the pleasure to work with a number of devout Catholics, many of whom have been contemplating colleges for their children. Trust me, there are no devout Catholics attending Notre Dame.

It is, after all, no longer a "Catholic Univserity." It is a "university in the Catholic tradition." The distinction is not trivial. It means they long ago sold out.

This is true but the UND is still the accepted icon of Catholic higher education in America and Obama being lauded there gives PR points for the Left and PR demerits for Christian Conservatism in the USA.

Realpolitics that causes a severe loss for RealAmerica—as the Obamunists have planned all along.

If BHO was a man of principle he would never darken the doors of an institution he hates.

But he is not—he is of the “will to power” ilk so clearly described in “Mein Kampf.”

It's an apt distinction, one that's by no means confined to some nominally Catholic schools. Protestant colleges here in Minnesota are even more spineless. The ELCA Lutheran schools (St. Olaf, Gustavus, Concordia) are among the "religious" (as opposed to Christian) colleges that would obsequiously welcome and lavish honors upon Obama without a peep of protest.
