Except that there is NOTHING "great" about it.

“Jimenez, who said she is pro-choice but not pro-abortion, was born and raised Catholic. She’s still a strong Christian, but after four years at Notre Dame, she’s no longer a practicing Catholic.”
Hmmm?
When you honor someone with obvious moral turpitude towards life, someone who obviously turns his back on the fifth commandment when it is convenient for him, it does ‘suggest support’. It can mean nothing else. To say otherwise is arrogant and self serving.
Osama Bin Laden is not Catholic. Does that change the evil in what he has done, Father Jenkins?
All of these "pro-choice" types need to see how comfortable they are saying this:
"I am personally opposed to murder, rape, arson and armed robbery, but I think it would be wrong of me to tell others that they shouldn't commit murder, rape, arson and armed robbery."
There is a real Catholic University being developed in Florida by Domino’s Pizza founder Tom Monagham. It’s called Ave Maria University. Monagham has an interesting background...raised in an ophanage...very, very, devout Catholic and pro-lifer. ND Alumni should donate to Ave Maria instead of ND as it’s been corrupted.
Obviously not.

Just to name a few. My son starts at Steubenville in the fall.
Jimenez, who said she is pro-choice but not pro-abortion, was born and raised Catholic. She’s still a strong Christian, but after four years at Notre Dame, she’s no longer a practicing Catholic.
“I learned more about the doctrine here,” she said. “It was kind of a turnoff, especially after something like this controversy happened, with people backing up their beliefs by saying they’re Catholic.”
Like, what a turn-off. Those repressive old people just want to ruin my fun.
Comments like this tell you exactly where Notre Dame is today.
“She’s still a strong Christian..”
Without being flippant, I would like to know from Jimenez what it means to be a “strong Christian”.
“..said senior Heidi Torres-Fewell, of Taos, N.M. —Snip— “He’s not coming to speak to us about political views.”
Hey Heidi, are all ND seniors as naive as you? Your parents certainly wasted their good money on you.
Father Jenkins can still save the day and all embarrassment for the university by:
1-Removing the statue on the dome and the mural.
2-Disclaiming the Catholic origins of the University.
3-Renaming the school.
4-Not allowing priests to wear the Roman collar at graduation ceremonies.
In the past ten years or so, the good priests at Notre Dame seem to have forgotten how to be Catholics themselves when they fired Joe Moore telling him he was too old, or when they humiliated George O'Leary after themselves failing to do a background check on his resume, or on again humiliating one of their own, Paul Hornung, who merely pointed out the obvious in perhaps an inarticulate manner, or on how they treat alumni and fans at football game tailgate parties. None of those are moments of which to be happy. I am not proud of the leadership of my alma mater and it isn't just over the Obama invitation.
So, why didn't you ask YOUR OWN bishop??
And why hasn’t a SINGLE BISHOP publicly stated this?
