The festival usually occurs this month around Valentine's Day. Where is it?

  1. Good for Notre Dame! It's only too bad that they had to go through such a round-about way of getting the festival cancelled, but I suppose that is the world we live in.

    What really is upsetting is when nimrods like Tom O'Neil use terms like "unchristian" in their assessment of Catholic/Christian teaching and policy. I don't know anything about this 'journalist(?)' but I wouldn't be suprised to find his real knowledge of Christianity to be minimal to nonexistant. It's always so unnerving when your pontificated to from militant gays, witches, pagans, satanists, and atheists about what Catholicism/Christianity "really" say about this life and reality.
