Georgetown seems to have found the sweet spot. [/quote]

?? Mine looked at Georgetown and Notre Dame, far preferred Notre Dame and is thriving there. [/quote]

You’re not Catholic, obviously.  “Evangelicals” is a Protestant thing.

The biggest complaint by conservative ND alums is that the school has become too liberal and is betraying Catholic values.   [/quote]

What do you call religious extremists who are trying to force their religious beliefs on you?

“Evangelical” sounds appropriate. [/quote]

What do you call someone who clearly has no personal experience with Notre Dame and so little knowledge about the Catholic Church that it labels ND’s administration as “evangelical?”

A bigot.  [/quote]

I do have personal experience with ND. And extremists pushing their religious beliefs on you sounds “evangelical” to me. [/quote]

Define your personal experience.  [/quote]

I took a class there during HS and almost attended (accepted). I also have family members who are alumni.

The school has great traditions - it’s a shame the school/state is going downhill.

No, you didn’t.  [/quote]

Sure did. Lived on campus too. Almost attended but got into a better school. Plus, I wasn’t crazy about the requirement to take a religious class.

Just because that fact is inconvenient for you doesn’t make it false.

So there you go.  You just outed yourself.  You didn’t want to take a religion course so you went somewhere else.  You’re anti-religion in general and totally close-minded about it, and that colors your views on the entire subject.

Your experience as a high school student who took a summer class at ND ions ago hardly qualifies you as any kind of expert on the school’s current policies or administration.  You were just a kid, and obviously a close minded one.  [/quote]

I never claimed to be an expert, just that I had a personal connection to the school.

The primary reason why I didn’t go was because I got into a better school.

I’m not anti-religion. My whole community/family is religious. I’m anti-extremists-pushing-beliefs-on-others.

Anyway, it’s a shame what happened to ND. And Indiana.

No one believes your story btw.[/quote]

That I have a personal connection? LOL ok.

ND is no longer desirable to many applicants because it’s located in woman-hating state and it also has ties to religious extremists.
