It’s that time of year again, time for Catholic colleges to invite as commencement speakers people whose views are antithetical orthodox Catholic belief.
Marymount Manhattan College has invited pro-abortion Hillary Clinton to deliver its commencement address and receive an honorary doctoral degree on May 20.
Seattle University, a Jesuit school, has invited pro-abortion Gov. Gary Locke of Washington State to deliver its commencement address and receive an honorary doctoral degree on June 13.
Saint Xavier University in Chicago has invited dissident theologian Sr. Margaret Farley to deliver its commencement address on May 21. Sr. Farley believes that Catholic moral teaching requires embryonic stem cell research and cloning. She’s also pro-abortion and pro-homosexuality and gay marriage. She teaches at Yale University Divinity School, which isn’t Catholic, but a Catholic university is inviting her to speak.
There will be more soon, no doubt. Keep an eye on the Cardinal Newman Society web page for more of this stuff as it arises.
