[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Brandeis has a strong Jewish tradition used to be a lot deeper. It’s like saying ND is not Catholic.[/quote]

Except that ND is literally run by the Roman Catholic Church and Brandeis is not run by any Jewish sect.[/quote]

Notre Dame is not "run by the Roman Catholic Church."  It's affiliated with the Church, yes, but it's been "run" by an independent board of lay trustees since 1967.[/quote]

Who are overseen and selected by a clerical Board of Fellows.  [/quote]

LOL Notre Dame is constantly getting shit from Catholics and Catholic bishops for not being Catholic enough.  People freaked out when Obama gave the commencement address and when Joe Biden got the Laetare Medal because he favored abortion rights.  It's not Ave Maria University.

You're just another knee jerk DCUM poster with zero actual experience with the University.[/quote]

I have no problem with Notre Dame.  I'd be perfectly happy to send my Jewish kids there.  But to suggest that ND isn't a Catholic school or that Brandeis is just as Jewish as ND is Catholic is either stupidity or a complete lack of understanding of the significant organizational differences both of the two schools and the two religions.

Maybe.  But when you think Notre Dame you think Catholic, as do many others.  And when I think Brandeis I think Jewish, as do many others.  And the "organizational" differences have very little bearing on the day-to-day experience of the student body.[/quote]

There is a day to day difference. The student body at Notre Dame is more religious and aligned with Catholic values. It is run by a religious organization…Brandeis is NOT. At Notre Dame, over 80% of students identify as Catholic. You are tiresome and I can’t understand your agenda other than antisemitism and being uncomfortable with a college that dares have a 30% population of Jewish students.[/quote]

Wow.  You'd find an anti-Semite anywhere.[/quote]
