It is a silly question but one that has been raised more than once in the 2000 year history of the powerful and scholarly fraternal orders of priests. After the disgraceful announcement by Notre Dame about its 2009 Commencement speaker, the question can well be raised again, this time about the CSC order. Once upon a time the famed university of Our Lady was considered, rightfully so, the Roman Catholic answer to the Protestant edifices of learning at Harvard, Yale, and Princeton. About fifty years ago, the Ivy League's colleges ceased to have anything to do with the Creator, banishing him entirely from the campuses built to honor His gift of learning. In 2009, Notre Dame finally joins that club of 'once Christian colleges'.
Why call it Catholic anyway? Lets at least have some truth in advertising Father Jenkins!
