Happy St Patrick's Day, especially to my Domer friends!
I know it's time for March Madness, but I saw this, and I like what I saw.
Fluff piece-yes. Click bait-worked like a charm. But, it also started my morning out right. That was one special night, on which it was particularly great to be a Michigan Wolverine:

St. Paddy's day is a trash holiday, don't @ me

I know the revelers in my city celebrate by getting drunk and vandalizing significant portions of downtown. Wonderful to see it every year...

I'll just put this here and see what happens:
TO HELL WITH NOTRE DAME!
(And all the best to my several Domer friends. You're the exception, gents and lady. The exception to the rule.)

and it was fucking weird. None of the kids looked happy and the whole place had a kind of Stepford vibe about it.
I was not impressed.

An ex-seminarian friend of mine calls Notre Dame the "Disneyland of American Catholicism" and it's almost right. I think it's more like the Epcot of American Catholicism. Fake AF, and filled with folks who either don't really want to be there or are way too into it given what it is.

We're Catholic, so I expected to like it. Huge disappointment.
And some of the other parents on the tour were HUGE assholes.

What makes that worse is that we're then talking about people way too into something that - end of the day - sits in the middle of South Bend, Indiana. Imagine being sent to South Bend, Indiana for four years - possibly more - and told by your parents to make the best of it. The only thing that might keep a few people sane is to immerse themselves in the faux mystique of Notre Dame as the truth is too much to bear.
To hell with Notre Dame!
