U.S. Catholic Colleges Invite Scandalous Commencement Speakers

Cardinal Newman Society, conducting its annual review of commencement speakers and honorees at Catholic colleges, has thus far identified 19 inappropriate invitations, many of them to public abortion-rights advocates.

“When Catholic institutions honor well-known abortion advocates like Barbara Boxer and Chuck Schumer, they are being openly subversive,” said Cardinal Newman Society president Patrick J. Reilly. “Not only are they scandalizing students and impeding the Church’s aggressive efforts to end legalized abortion, but they are flaunting their nonconformity in a very public way.”
The Cardinal Newman Society lists 19 "Catholic" colleges/universities with inappropriate commencement speakers and honorees, and asks the presidents to withdraw invitations to these speakers when possible.
