Just back from several days at Notre Dame pondering the future of American Catholicism, I can testify that the university seems none the worse for President Obama's visit--its grounds luscious, buildings going up on all sides, and grotto full of lit candles. OK, they lost to Michigan, but that was in Ann Arbor. Beware ye East Lansingites, coming to town next week. The dioceses may be strapped, the bishops divided, and the laity picking and choosing--but in South Bend, the faith marches on.
Cheer, cheer
