Notre Dame Opts to not Act Catholic (Again)

Is there any doubt that this is the reasoning for a milquetoast "moment of silence" rather than a public prayer for the repose of the soul of junior Declan Sullivan, who was killed in an accident while filming football practice earlier in the week?

Why doesn’t Notre Dame actually PRAY FOR the dead? Could it be they don’t want to offer offense to the living? Don’t want to stress and put into practice that ancient CATHOLIC tradition of praying for the dead for fear of offending someone who isn’t Catholic?

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let the perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul and those of all the faithful departed, through the grace of God's mercy, rest in peace. Amen.
