We Were the Fighting Irish: Will Notre Dame Reclaim the Glory of Her Name? (in English)
Synopsis "We Were the Fighting Irish: Will Notre Dame Reclaim the Glory of Her Name? (in English)"
On November 22, 1842, the University of Notre Dame du Lac ("Our Lady of the Lakes") was founded in a frozen Indiana forest by a French priest with a child-like devotion to a holy little Hebrew girl named Mary, whom he knew by heart to be the blessed mother of God's Word made flesh. To spread that Word, Father Edward Sorin of the Congregation of Holy Cross had traveled all the way from Le Mans, across the sea by steamship, up the Erie Canal by barge, and over miles of uncharted terrain on foot. Upon his arrival, he would write that the virgin snow, softly blanketing that Indiana forest, had moved him to meditate on Mary's perfect nature, and filled him with a very special peace. Fast forward 167 years to March of 2009, when Notre Dame would tarnish her own name, ignore clear Church teachings, and bestow an Honorary Doctor of Laws degree upon Barack Obama, an unrepentant advocate of unrestricted abortion. We Were The Fighting Irish takes an in-depth look at what happened to Notre Dame and America over the course of those 167 years, and since then to the present time, March 2019. A decade in the making, there may not be a more informative or eye-opening book on the evolution of the American conscience concerning the two most imperative and divisive social justice issues since the birth of Moses: slavery and abortion. Why not treat your heart, mind, and soul to something truly special? Available on Amazon at amazon.com/author/patrickxavier and with Amazon affiliate book sellers throughout the nation.
