[Notre Dame] took a giant step away from their identity as "Catholic." They rather be of this world than the one they supposedly exist to bring people toward.
But sentence structure aside, this line really says everything you need to know about conservatives -- they're angry when people live in "this world" -- you know, the real one! -- rather than in the fantasy one they wish existed.
My favorite series finale? Six Feet Under. The last scene is still perhaps the most beautiful television I've ever seen.
