[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I know hordes of ND grads. They're fine. Reasonably bright, but nothing to write home about. The Catholic ones are very Catholic.

The only exceptions to this rule are the architecture grads, who are all smart and successful. The rest might as well be OSU or Michigan grads.[/quote]

[b]Notre Dame's undergrad population is 80 percent Catholic, so you can't know all that many who aren't.[/b]  [/quote]

DP: Well, plenty of people are raised Catholic and then don't sustain it by the time you know them as adults (myself included).[/quote]

And what does that have to do with anything?  We are talking about how current Notre Dame students self-identify.  Not you and your friends.  [/quote]

No, the PP said they knew hordes of ND [b]grads[/b] not current students.  You equated that to current students and then challenged their claim.[/quote]

Whatever.   Still entirely irrelevant to the discussion.  We’re talking about what it’s like to go to school there, not what religion the graduates identify with decades later.   Most UC-Berkeley grads aren’t hippies in their 40s and 50s either.  [/quote]

Plenty of people were talking about the outcomes after college--how they acted on the job, whether they were recruited well, whether they were overly naive etc in the working world etc.  A lot of people drop their family's religion once their parents are not footing the bills, so the question is whether they are still Catholic in their 20s in their early working career, not in their 40s and 50s. Also, it's a different kind of campus culture if it's primarily the parents emphasizing Catholicism vs. kids embracing it as a primary identity also.

You're just arguing for argument's sake.  This is a non-issue.

In any event, it ain't just the parents.  Notre Dame has plenty of hard core Catholics.  Silly poster.[/quote]
