A young writer recounts a recent graduation ceremony at a Catholic university (which she doesn't identify--don't bother following the links because they don't disclose the school's identity, either, unless I missed something). Nothing too earth shattering, given the wreck that is Catholic higher education in the old-line universities, but still interesting. [Excerpt](http://www.vdare.com/kerry/060830%5Feducation.htm?ref=thedailyeudemon.com):

> After our president stood to greet us, a priest approached the podium to give us a blessing. But instead of the traditional Catholic sacramental, "In the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit," the priest said only: "Let us place ourselves in the presence of God." In fact, in the entire two hour ceremony, the Sign of the Cross wasn't made a single time.

> Why? Because, I'm sure, the administration wanted to avoid offending any Muslims in the audience. (There's a highly-organized Jewish presence on campus too, but my impression is that they are less of a concern.)

> This is typical of my school's reaction to political correctness, diversity and "tolerance": sacrifice the traditions of our faith (and nation) in order to appease the demands of outside communities.
