Fr. DeSouza in the NCRegister blog has an interesting history of the last 25 years of Catholic politicians visiting Notre Dame, the prestige and power of Notre Dame in American Catholicism and the interesting decisions of Notre Dame Presidents and Presidents of the United States to speak and to take stances at Notre Dame over the years. I didn't know all this history. I applaud Mary Ann Glendon's decision. Everyone is saying that this is the major turning point in American Catholicism that we have been waiting for. It is a decision that perhaps will set the American Church apart from the rest of western Catholicism. Hold on. We are in for quite a ride! May the Holy Spirit guide and protect the Church!
