"Notre Dame for instance has yielded many iotas."

Not sure what you mean -- that ND has "yielded to many iotas" --when ND still has an excellent Theology program, attracts many notable Catholic scholars, has an undergraduate student body that is predominately Catholic (nearly 80%), has liturgies in all its dorms, has a critical mass of religious there (i.e., Congregation of Holy Cross, including the president, who is a Holy Cross priest), who comprise half the membership of the Board of Fellows (with lay men comprising the other half), and, finally, nurtures a very active seminary program for future Holy Cross priests and brothers, among other things. What else is missing?
