[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm a pretty typical gen X catholic, meaning I left the church 25 years ago.  The church is far more conservative than it was a generation or two ago because the people who stayed are the people who are willing to put up with .. a lot.

But my son is interested in ND and that's fine with me. It provides a classic college experience: solid academics, national reputation, fun sports, happy kids, strong alumni. The Catholic part of it is a bit of a negative - it def leans more conservative than school like BC - but my kid can navigate that for himself.

ND has always been a less hospitable place for women, so if I had a daughter I'd be less comfortable.  [/quote]

If you are not Catholic and hate Catholicism, why would you send your kids to Notre Dame?  Why not Georgetown instead which seems more aligned with your anti Catholic sentiments.  Or a secular university.

ND seems to do a fairly good job of subtly wvangelizing kids into the Catholic faith.  Perhaps you want you son to come home to Catholicism?

this is not a good look for you or your views. nobody ever said anything about hating Catholicism. why is it so hard to have a discussion?[/quote]

It is not a good look for you to come to a thread about a Catholic university, and bash Catholicism as "the negative part" of Notre Dame.

Seriously, how is responding to your statement bashing Catholicism with a question about why would you choose to pay nearly $300,000.000 on a school representing what you hate?

It is a legit question when half of your post was dripping with disdain for Catholics and Catholicism.[/quote]
