My Notre Dame’s Kryten moment

I was looking at some Notre Dame stories today and found this quote concerning the college:

“We have a much more challenging mission than most universities. Most universities strive simply to be excellent educational institutions by the accepted standards of the profession. We do this at Notre Dame, and we have had great success. But we also foster and celebrate a distinctive mission to be a Catholic university, inspired and guided by a great spiritual tradition.”

Notre Dame continues to brew

I think that Notre Dame’s administration might be praying (assuming they actually pray) for something to come up to get them out of this mess.

Even MSNBC covered the 10 priests of of the CSC objecting. Fr. Jenkins leaked statement suggesting that because President Obama is not Catholic these rules don’t apply is only going to make things worse. (Then again he hasn’t found a church yet has he, maybe he is Catholic and we just don’t know it?). This is going to keep producing pixels till it is resolved one way or the other.

Bishop D’Arcy political operative?

The American Papist notes that “Catholics” united press release makes this description:

Regrettably, the individuals leading the charge against Notre Dame are partisan operatives who routinely use a single-issue analysis to divorce the Catholic faith from its longstanding commitment to social justice and the sanctity of all human life.

Looks like George “I’m doing great in this crisis” Soros isn’t getting as good a return on his investment in phony Catholic groups as in other things.

I’d actually be interested knowing what parish they belong to and if they do the Saturday or the Sunday mass?

The American Papist reprints in full a letter from the ND director of Alumni to club leaders. You can read it here.

I will now translate it:

Keep giving us money!

That’s all.
