She is 16 feet tall, weighs more than 2 tons, and is covered in 23 karat gold leaf, which is redone every 20 to 30 years. Also, are we really nitpicking over whether to call Mary Our Lady or Our Mother? Catholic doctrine and the Notre Dame alma mater indicate that both are equally valid…

In response to the OP, there are plenty of athiests/agnostics at ND. There’s no pressure to participate in religious activities, but there are a lot of opportunities for those who want them. I’d say that lapsed Catholics are one of the 2 biggest religious groups on campus.
