In reply to TERRY.

First, it states very clearly that Father Sorin is the author. He has a book coming out, so I know it must be him.

I’m sure mon frere (mon père?) can defend himself, but the snide remarks were in mocking the Big Ten.

The leap from Holy Week to the Laetare Medal is a curious one. I spend a fair amount of time around non-Catholics (even the good Lord himself ate with tax collectors & sinners), it’s been my experience that most of them understand and accept Notre Dame’s continued catholicity.

Regardless, we mourn Notre Dame’s fall from religiosity each year with the CINO de Mayo holiday.

Whoever wrote this – it’s really not funny at all, in fact it is more than a bit pathetic.

Given the fact that the Laetare Medal this year is being presented to a known abortion advocate who also pretends to be a practicing Catholic, given the fact that in the most solemn week in the Christian calendar you choose to unleash your most snide comments in mocking it – you serve only to reinforce a widely held opinion that Notre Dame has become CINO – Catholic In Name Only.
