And the winner is...
In 2009, we were scandalized by our alma mater's inexcusable act of bestowing high honors upon the most anti-Catholic leader and aggressive champion for child-killing in presidential history. Thankfully, God used this experience to deepen our relationship with His Son and His Church. We had been sold a fraudulent form of Catholicism, and that reality was unveiled, in part, by researching the history of Notre Dame's betrayal of the very Lady standing atop the Golden Dome.
We decided that we could not morally justify supporting this once great university, and outside of divine intervention, it's difficult to see how this will change in the foreseeable future. And that meant our donation to Notre Dame in order to qualify for the football ticket lottery needed to be sent elsewhere.
Our first choice was an easy one: Franciscan University of Steubenville. Last year was a quick decision as well: Christendom College. This year we had a harder time making our pick. We definitely considered well-established, authentically Catholic colleges like the University of Dallas, Ave Maria University, and Benedictine College.
But in the end, we decided to support a new kid on the block: Wyoming Catholic College. Established in 2005, this college has been on our radar since moving to Colorado. Wyoming Catholic is our nearest college to be in full compliance with Ex Corde Ecclesiae and Canon Law, and we would be thrilled if any of our children could go to school there someday.
It was this incredible video that clinched WCC as our pick this year. I wish I could go back to undergrad!
