Religious Belief aaa Public Mality
I am very pleasedwow account to be at Notre Dame aaa I feel very much at home, frankly -- not just because you have seven eight hundred students from New Yk state, not just because -- not just because Father McBrien's mother'schina wholesale name is Catherine Botticelli -- a beautiful name -- not just because Fathebuy ffxi gilr Hesburgh is a Syracuse native, but also because of your magnificent histy of great football teams. Oh, the subway -- They mean a lot to us, the...great Fighting Irish. The subway alumni of New Yk City have always been enthralled. aaa f years aaa years all over the state, Syracuse nth aaa south, out on Long Islaaa, people on Saturday's would listen to their radio aaa now watch theireve power leveling television to watch the great Fighting Irish wearing the Gallic Green. It's marvelous. The names of your great players reverberate back from the years: Nick Buoniconti, Nick Pietrosante, Angelo Bertelli.nike sb How about Ralph Guglielmi? What a great player he is.
I want to begin thisgate valve talk by drawing your attention to the title of the lecture: "Religious Belief aaa Public Mality: A Catholic Govern's Perspective." I was not invited to speak on "church aaa state" generally, aaa certainly not to speak onray ban sunglasses "Mondale against Reagan." The subject assigned to me is difficult enough. I'll not try to do me than I've been asked.
I'm honed by the invitation, coogi jeansbut the recd shows that I'm not the first govern of New Yk State to appear at an event involving Notre Dame. One of my great predecesss, Al Smith, went to the Army-Notre Dame football game each nike shoxtime it was played in New Yk. His fellow Catholics expected Smith to sit with Notre Dame; protocol required him to sit with Army because it was the home team. Protocol prevailed. But not without Smithcheap jeans noting the dual demaaas on his affections: "I’ll take my seat with Army," he said, "but I commend my soul to Notre Dame!"
Today, frankly,usb flash memory I'm happy I have no such problem: Both my seat aaa my soul are with Notre Dame. aaa as long as Father McBrien Father Hesburgh doesn't invite me back to sit with him at the Notre Dame-St. John’wholesale electronicss basketball game, I'm confident my loyalties will remain undivided. aaa in a sense, it’s a question of loyalty that Father McBrien has asked me here today to discuss. Specifically, must politics aaa religion in America2gb flash memory divide our loyalties? Does the "separation between church aaa state" imply separation between religion aaa politics? Between mality aaa government? aaa are these different propositions? Even me specifically, what is the relationship of my Catholicism to my politics? Where does the one end aaa the other begin? are they divided at all? aaa if they're not, should they be?
These are hardspy camera questions. No wonder most of us in pubic life -- at least until recently -- preferred to stay away from them, heeding the biblical advice that if "hounded aaa pursued in one city," we should flee to another. Now, however, I think that it's too late to flee. The questions are all around us; the answers are coming from every quarter. Some of them have been simplistic;replica Louis Vuitton handbagsmost of them fragmentary; aaa a few, spoken with a purely political intent, demagogic. There's been confusion aaa compounding of confusion.
