Clinton Rally at Eerie PA Catholic College Causes Bishop to Cancel Appearance

From LifeSiteNews:

ERIE, PA, March 31, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Hillary Clinton is going to hold a campaign rally at Mercyhurst College tomorrow, Tuesday, April 1, 2008. The Catholic College boasts of the pro-abortion Senator and Presidential candidate's appearance on its web page. LifeSiteNews.com has also learned that Erie Bishop Donald W. Trautman has cancelled his scheduled appearance at the upcoming Mercyhurst graduation ceremony in protest....

University President Thomas Gamble permitted the Clinton appearance despite a directive from the United States Conference of Bishops which specifically forbids pro-abortion politicians from such engagements....
Catholic colleges and universities desperately need to rid themselves of such officials who foment division and scandal. Parents who are considering sending their children to so-called Catholic institutions of higher learning need to know which ones to avoid.
