[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have a kid there as well.  The Catholic mission permeates the entire campus from his doem rector, dorm mass, Catholic focused service work, to praying at the grotto weekly. The school has a priest as President.  The student section goes wild like it is a rockstar for Father Pete at football games.  When I was at mass, [b]there were probably 30 college girls in mantillas and jeans.[/b]

Yet he appreciates his friends of different faiths  - his roommate is not Catholic. There are also a wide variety of opinion from conservative Catholics to liberal Catholics. This is all healthy.

I don’t think we need to create alarm over Notre Dame losing its Catholic way. For those lucky enough to attend (I am not an alum), seems like a great place.[/quote]

Oh my. I'm an alum and never saw anyone in mantillas. I wonder if the student body is becoming more conservative?[/quote]

It was basilica mass on a holy day, not dorm mass, fwiw.  And, the girls had on jeans and sweatshirts with the mantillas (and, I don’t know for sure they were notre dame students, just that they looked college age. Could have been your group, SMC girls, who knows).  I am a pretty liberal Catholic and found it charming (not quite the right word) as it isn’t something I personally see often and made me curious and think a bit on faith traditions. [/quote]

no, it's a weird offshoot of MAGA and trad wife movement. women who are encouraged to put aside career ambitions and have 10 kids and go to daily mass. [/quote]

Wow that's quite the take. Most young Catholics are not MAGA and the trad wife movement has nothing to do with religious beliefs.[/quote]

most mantilla-wearing college students are def MAGA. and yes, there's a whole catholic mommy influencer game out there that is very similar to the trad wife influencer game. and yes, there will be something they want to sell you or affiliate marketing links at least[/quote]
