[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Out of the hundred or so schools she could pick why that one if this may even be a small issue for her? [/quote]

OP here.  Well, we're trying to figure out if it IS an issue.  I attended Georgetown (graduate school) and it might as well have been a secular school. I know nothing about ND.[/quote]
NP. ND is less secular than Georgetown. More Catholic in feeling, sure, but still, [b]per the PP above, perhaps two-thirds of the kids do not attend mass on any sort of regular basis.[/quote][/b]

Oh, please, that was a PP talking off the top of their head about their own dorm. And how does she even know they are going? There are Sat night masses, Sunday morning and Sunday evening.  Is she standing at her dorm with a checklist?

[b]Here's what ND actually says about expectations: "The Catholic nature of Notre Dame is visibly evident in a variety of ways on campus. The 43 Holy Cross priests in residence provide a steadfast spiritual presence that extends to the residence halls, classrooms, and the quads. More than 100 Masses are celebrated each week on campus at more than 50 on-campus chapels. And more than 80 percent of Notre Dame students participate in some form of service learning, even while they study abroad. Our faith is not just a characteristic present at our founding and then slowly relegated to the past. It is an inextricable part of Notre Dame's identity today and will continue to be in the future."[/b][b][/b]

It’s not Catholic bashing it’s what the school says it is about, see above. Is that the environment you want your non-catholic student to be in?[/quote]
