Let me take a crack at it! Plow Notre Dame under and make it a park. It doesn't get my knickers in a knot. I see where it comes from. It's an opinion. One of Canada's most distinguished radio broadcasters said on national radio and to the world the Roman Catholic Church is "the biggest criminal organization in the world outside the Mafia."

Not a peep. I like to think his listeners have pretty good critical judgement. We also know that, as a cultured person, Michael Enright would see much to admire in the Church, its organizational skills and traditional role as champion of the poor. I think the same way. Notre Dame is more than a church to the world, as is the wall in Arlington more than a monument to a nation's sacrifice to me.

I'd like to think we've outgrown the notion of simple solutions to everything.
