[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]BC is Catholic and they don’t try to hide it. You will see signs, sounds and activities of Catholicism. There is a large Catholic student population there. In no way do students need to be Catholic and you don’t have to participate in anything that makes you feel uncomfortable. 
Agree with PP- less noticeable than ND, more so than Georgetown.

BC and Georgetown are Jesuit schools, Notre Dame is not. The Jesuit brand of Catholicism is different, has always been different. A couple of decades ago there were Jesuit priests who were politicians and all that I remember were democrats and very liberal. All of these schools have a broad appeal, but Notre Dame will feel the most religiously Catholic and the most conservative. BC links its Catholic mission with service. That said, feeder schools are Catholic high schools and they will have a higher percentage of kids from Catholic families. [/quote]

Linking your Catholic mission with service is still Catholicism, albeit more appealing a variety than traditionalism.

Agree that the Jesus are not trads. However, even within the Jesuit congregation, newer recruits are appreciably more conservative than they were in congressman Bob Drinan's day. All new priests are more conservative. They're Jesuits, not Holy Cross Fathers, but they're still more conservative than the ones who came in in the 70s.

How much will this affect a Jewish or atheist kid on campus? Not very much? You don't have to go to chapel. But the vibe has shifted since they fired Mary Daley.[/quote]
