This was in their student newspaper. The paper printed an apology today but still. What the fuck were they thinking. LOSERS!

Classy.

Catholics are replacing Baptists as the biggest religious douches around.

That is sick and wrong

Official University response:

The Jan. 13 issue of the University of Notre Dame’s student newspaper The Observer included a cartoon that was inappropriate and offensive.

“The University denounces the implication that violence or expressions of hate toward any person or group of people is acceptable or a matter that should be taken lightly,” said Rev. John I. Jenkins, C.S.C., Notre Dame’s president.

In accordance with Notre Dame’s Spirit of Inclusion, a formal statement adopted by the officers of the University in 1997, at Notre Dame “we prize the uniqueness of all persons as God’s creatures” and welcome " all people, regardless of color, gender, religion, ethnicity, sexual orientation, social or economic class, and nationality."

Further, “we value gay and lesbian members of this community as we value all members of this community. We condemn harassment of any kind” and “we consciously create an environment of mutual respect, hospitality and warmth in which none are strangers and all may flourish.”

The University respects The Observer’s status as an independent, student-run newspaper and appreciates that the editorial staff has issued an apology in its January 15th issue and that the cartoon’s authors also have expressed their regret. Notre Dame administrators will work with the Observer staff, as they say in their editorial, to “move forward, and….to promote…a culture of acceptance and support for all.”

Bullshit. We're sick of being timid with you motherfuckers. Reign in your whackjobs (start with the Pope) and you won't have to take the heat. YOU are responsible for them.

I have no responsibility to the Pope...who gives a shit about the Pope...other than you, of course. You're like his personal choir boy, all up on his dick.

Yet the left tolerates a piss covered crucifix and a statue of the virgin Mary made out of shit.

REAL CLASSY THERE......Eh, fuck it, I'm Presbyterian so all this shit is pre destined anyways.

GODDAMN, quit putting words in peoples mouths Jon!!! why hell no it's not right to beat people with baseball bats for the sheer shits and giggles. Why do you suppose I would be endorsing that? quit being so goddamned stupid!!!

Jeezus Christ gay people. You know damn good and well if that was a cartoon about a Conservative, jon and Travis would be the first ones on this thread throwing down the similes.

Maybe when you two get to adulthood, your funny bones will be fully functional.

Nothing funny about advocating violence, to anyone.

I have a great funny bone. This is not funny.

Eh, whatever helps you sleep at night. Still, you're a member of worldwide cult that's responsible for the suffering of billions of people and continues to advocate policies disastrous to humanity.

Good luck with that. If hell exists, catholics will make up most of the residents.

Jon, I agree with Baldy. Step back a bit and take another look.

ANYTHING can be funny.

Don't take everything so seriously.

I laughed. And that doesn't make me a horrible person.

The cartoon was in poor taste.

I am not responsible for the Catholics.

I am a Methodist, which means I was sleeping durind the sermon anyway.

All that being said, I am quivering in my boots over whatever D1B plans to do to us all if the Catholics keep making fun of the homos.

Right. You know me so well. I actually sleep great at night.

Maybe they will fill up Hell. I will say though, your shtick is still spot on.

I guess, by your logic, we're all part of a worldwide cult that's responsible for the suffering of billions of people and continues to advocate policies disastrous to humanity. I mean, people on this board pay taxes to help the USA shit on people all over the world (and you want politicians to have more power), and there are some on this board who are members of religions other than Christianity.

D1B just talks to hear himself. Nobody else gives a shit!

Nah, I think he's funny. He does bring up good points, and I'm not going to say he's incorrect and full of shit. Obviously, people over time have done things--in the name of God/ Jesus--that are wrong and inconsistent with Christian philosophy. The same can be said for any idea or position supported by humans.

The only time I take issue with his points is when he makes sweeping generalizations against people he disagrees with...only because he takes issue when people make sweeping generalizations against people he agrees with. But, it's all good...just a message board. We're all clowns here anyways...I mean, my God...look at me, Chizzang, D, Z, Tman, Clenz, etc.

Did you laugh at Matthew Shepard, as well?

It's not even that funny either.

A hand saw with a popped collar, carrying a jub of wine, and making gay jokes.

I dunno, seems odd. Hard to believe it took 3 Notre Dame students to come up with it.
