Is God sexist? E ditorial C artoon
In reading Daniel Quinlan’s argument against female priests in the Sept. 25 Letter to the Editor (“The doctrine of male priesthood”), his reasoning led me to an interesting corollary. His argument is sum marized as such: According to the Catechism of the Catholic Church, no one has rights to priesthood. Also stated in the Catechism, it is NOTHING TO only through God’s call that one can become a priest. To me, this implies one of two things. Case 1: The catechism is wrong and God does call both men and women to priesthood, but the hierarchy of the Church does not take the calls to women seri ously. Like everyone, I know plenty of pious women who would make phenomenal priestesses. However, because of the patriarchal NOW! structure of the Church that has existed throughout history, women are denied the chance to have true leadership positions in the Church. Discrimination against women has been and still is a major problem for the world and the Church is also guilty of this. Or, Case 2: God is sexist. Maybe the Catechism is right. Perhaps God really does only call men to be priests. It seems to me like God is playing favorites. God created both men and women in his image. If both are such wonders of his creation, why would God have any happen problems calling women to leadership roles in the hierarchy of his Church? If the Catechism is right and God does only call men to be priests, then he must have a bias. This bias, as it is called in all cases, is known as sexism and like all prejudices, it should not be tolerated. In either case, there is no legitimate reason why women am cannot be priests. At some point, women are being discriminated against unfairly, either by people or by God. As we know from our progress as human beings, such discrimination is never acceptable.

Plagued by a number of injuries at a multitude of posi tions, Notre Dame didn’t look itself Saturday night. But just as the hope began to fade, a familiar face came to the res cue. Junior quarterback Jimmy Clausen led the Irish on a mes- ijre'rizing 72-yard drive, capped off by sophomore tight end Kyle Rudolph’s touchdown reception on fourth-and-goal from the two-yard line with just 25 seconds remaining to give Notre Dame a 24-21 victo ry over Purdue Saturday at Ross-Ade Stadium. “It’s a standard red-zone play,” Irish coach Charlie Weis said. “We run it in practice all the time and Kyle ran it exactly how he should have.” With 3:41 to play and the Irish down by three, an injured Clausen took the field for only the fourth time in the half to engineer the game-winning drive. On a key third down play from the Purdue 36, Clausen found senior Robby Parris for a 15-yard reception to keep the DAN JACOBS/The Observer drive alive. After a 17-yard Irish sophomore tight end Kyle Rudolph, 9, catches a touchdown pass from junior quarterback Jimmy Clausen with 25 seconds pass to junior Golden Tate, the left in the game.

escape PAT COVENEY/The O bserver
A week after Notre Dame narrowly avoided its second straight heartbreaker
by holding off Michigan State, the Irish found out how it feels to be on the
other side of a last-minute comeback. A hobbled Jimmy Clausen delivered a
gutsy performance in leading a banged-up offense down the field, and the 12
play, 72-yard drive ended with a fourth-and-goal touchdown pass to tight end
Kyle Rudolph. This came immediately after Purdue took the lead on a 38-yard
touchdown pass from Joey Elliott to a wide-open Jaycen Taylor that
exploited a broken Irish coverage with less than four minutes to play. The
Irish led 17-7 at the half, but with Clausen out and Dayne Crist in, the offense
failed to score in the second half until that final drive. With featured back
Armando Allen out with an ankle injury, the Irish used Robert Hughes, Jonas
Gray, Theo Riddick and even star wide receiver Golden Tate as tailbacks, with
Hughes scoring from two yards out and Tate scoring on a 14-yard run out of
the Wildcat formation to give the Irish a second-quarter lead.
