All in the shadow of Steds
...morning. Indeed, it wasn't as Fr. Ralph, Rector of St. Edward's, accidentally stumbled upon the University's official welcome for Justice Sotomayor. How did it happen? Well, hear it from the welcome crasher himself, Fr. Ralph...
I left Steds midmorning last Wednesday. As I walked to the Basilica, I noticed Fr. John and his counselor, Ann Firth, standing in Sorin Circle. I thought, "Oh, they're waiting for a car service to take them to the airport." But then, I noticed a lot of dark suits on the periphery. I asked one of those dark suits what was going on, and he told me that Justice Sotomayor was coming. I asked if I could take a picture, and he said no. Still, I took a picture and endured a nasty scowl. Sometimes it's good to be wearing the collar.
Indeed, it does Fr. Ralph... Indeed it does...
