When I think back to why I became ND football fan , the mail reason was that my fellow Sub Alums and I, (Who at that time could never even dream of having enough money to afford college ) was because We were Catholic. We shared our common Catholic Values. ND
Was God’s school ! The Lady on the Dome was our Mother !
When I finally , due to the GI Bill plus working at any jobs that I could find, could afford to attend college, I was accepted at the Top Engineering college in my state ( very inexpensive ) and a much more
Expensive Catholic College. I chose the Catholic College because of its Catholic education !
I gladly payed the extra money for the Catholic part and I was most happy with the educational part as well.
From what I see and read today, I find it very difficult to believe that the Catholic Universities and Colleges
Have become , for all intents and purposes, more and more secular and less and less Catholic.
To see this trend is very disheartening and sad, and more than disingenuous to tell parents, alums, And prospective students, that these institutions are still Catholic!
