(Part one of two)  How does a Catholic university maintain Catholic identity (as that term is used these days by, i.e., the Newman Society) and respect diversity? Notre Dame is one kind of Catholic college and Ave Maria is another - maybe we need to be respectful of both and not call one "more Catholic" than the other.—AFT

The problem with the “Newman Society” and Ave Maria College is that both prioritize letting politics, admittedly Church politics, determine what they accept as truth, rather than letting truth determine what they accept as politics.  Notre Dame, on the other hand, has it right.
