5. It's the Catholic version of Liberty University. |
|
I know a person that graduated from there and is about to start their law school. Very much a freeper & a zealot.

http://www.catholicherald.com/cns/avemaria.htmTo be fair, the academic standards are reportedly higher than Liberty University.

12. Do they believe in evolution there? |
|
I know at Liberty they don't and therefore are not accredited

If anything I just think it's in poor taste. Has that woman's name not been used enough for one lifetime?
...May she rest in peace.

8. The anti-organized religion part of me finds it... |
|
awfully appropriate... I mean, a scholarship named for a person famous for being brain dead dedicated to help people study Catholic Dogma... I'm sorry, it's black comedy to me. And I shouldn't make fun of Catholics, many of whom are sincerely dedicated to making the world a better place. But still...

13. A scholarship on behalf of a brain dead individual? |

Granted to promote brain-deadedness? Hysterical.

14. A little too sick for me |
|
I'm the kinda guy who thinks scaring small children and making puppies cry is funny, but this goes beyong sick-funny into sick-sick.
Khash.
(P.S. Although I have scared small children (accidentally!), I have never made a puppy cry. Send your hate mail elsewhere.)
