Students participating in the Cultural Diversity Seminar, sponsored by the Center for Social Concerns of the University of Notre Dame, went to Chicago for their fall break to be immersed in the subcultures of the city.

Among the trip's events, a "dinner at a gay bar" was especially noteworthy. It was followed by "a showing of 'The Ville,' a performance that include[d] graphic scenes of homosexual activity." Before that, the students had attended Mass at St. Sabina's, Father Michael Pfleger's church. St. Sabina's had been noted for its "unique restructuring of the Mass,” but it became truly famous because of Father Pfleger's oft-televised pro-Obama rant in Rev. Jeremiah Wright's church. Father then attracted further attention by "refusing to accept Cardinal George's reassignment to a new parish." The trip ended with a session in which "activist Prexy Nesbit" delivered "a political commentary against capitalism." Source: The Irish Rover
