Not quite funny. I feel that that is a common stereotype attached to devout Catholics. I do not have any problem with people that are not Catholic at ND. I do not force my religion upon anyone - my roommate is an atheist but respects my beliefs that he attended Palm Sunday Mass with me and my friend just to see what played such a major role in my life. I really appreciated that. In fact, I appreciate tolerance and mutual learning. Just as in any other institution or location, you have to respect other people’s beliefs if you expect yours to be respected as well.
