26. Why was Pence the commencement speaker anyway?

Based on my knowledge of Catholicism and Notre Dame, Pence should be anathema to what ND stands for. Almost like ND having Lucifer as their speaker.

More and more so-called religious and Christian are more than sell out everything they espouse to get a fleeting touch of power and wealth.

Every graduate that walked out should receive a thank letter from the board of directors of ND thanking them for standing up for what were once ND's reasons for being. That letter should also say the board now resolves to bring the school back in line with its beliefs.
