Imagine being ritually flayed alive, scalded with boiling water, and having your blood drunk by a band of Iroquois for the sake of the Catholic faith, only to have the school named after you, more than 350 years later, disobey the local archbishop with the support of your order and lose the right to call itself Catholic.
Poor St Jean de Brébeuf.
That was what happened to Brebeuf Academy two weeks ago, when the Archbishop of Indianapolis put out a decree stating that the school was no longer to be recognised as a Catholic institution within the diocese.
