Thank you for your informative post. I am one of the many befuddled non-Cathloic-but-Christian parents who sent their offspring to an ostensibly Catholic university only to get a facefull of “sex positive”, radical feminism, “sexiling” in the co-ed dorms and related offenses to conscience. Saddened by the perceived bait-and-switch.
Yes, it is "bait-and-switch." Yes, it is consumer fraud. Yes, it is an offensive stench in the nostrils of Almighty God.
As for my family, we hadn't the money to put our sons in one of the "really" Catholic institution of higher learning --- the dozen or so little colleges which are, shall we say, confessionally Catholic --- and certainly would not consider one of the big, endowed apostate Universities like ND. From the viewpoint of the Faith, it would be much better to go to a State University. There, at least, you're not left mired in corrupting ambiguity. You know where your allies are, and where your enemies.
