re: New Catholic student center to bear Coach Saban's name

So, Mr. Expert on all things Catholic

Not claiming to be an expert on all things Catholic, just saying that I've never seen a single thing associated with a Catholic church named after a donor in my experience and even if there are places named after random people, they're usually named after pastors or people associated with the church. I've seen plaques, etc. but to full on name a catholic student center after Nick Saban, something I've never seen before, in Alabama of all places, is hilarious to me

explain to us what Jesus might think to see his flock named after a sports team. "Catholic Tigers"

What is this even referring to? And how is it even remotely comparable to the topic of this thread?

And who the frick are Newman Centers named after?

---

"Newman Centers are residence and Catholic ministry centers at non-Catholic universities throughout the world. These centers provide pastoral services and ministries to their Catholic communities, in particular to the Roman Catholic student population within universities throughout the world.

Newman Centers were named in honor of Cardinal John Henry Newman and were inspired by Newman's writings. The first Newman Center was established in 1893 at the University of Pennsylvania."

So to answer your question, not after a fricking donor or football coach
