<p>Regarding "does it matter if you are not Catholic? "
If you don’t mind seeing priests on campus and crosses on the outside of the buildings , it will not matter.There is no religious pressure or any issues if you don’t attend mass.
However , there is a theology requirement (2 classes ) and the adminstration has shown no flexibility on the 1050 level class.There is some flexiblity on the upper level requirement.</p>
<p>Do not expect tp be allowed to substitute THL 1050. </p>
