 What is happening to our college students? Keep praying Father.

The use of the word "klansmember" made me laugh. Keep it up, Father; these hyper-PC scaredy cats need it.

wow. All I can think of is St. Martin de Porres - they'd have a hard time explaining that.

My uni chaplain was an OP and when he wore his habit he certainly turned heads. Maybe there wouldn't be as much klan-fear if he would also wear his cappa, but I'm not sure what the rules regarding its wearing are anymore.

There's a black Dominican friar at Purdue. From Africa. He was at IU before Purdue. He should go walk around the IU campus saying his rosary.

They'd probably see a girl wearing a headscarf and say ISIS is on campus too. Stupid is as stupid does.

On the plus side  - at least they all know who the OP are now and who the priest is

I've been mistaken as a Muslim woman by Muslim men!

By "almost the same thing" you mean it turned out to be Dominicans, right?

I've met this friar. He is a complete teddy bear. The antithesis of KKK.

But I DO think two of those boys are throwing GANG SIGNS!!!! Someone alert the Mediasphere!
