What a shame.

BC was one of the few Catholic schools left (my daughter went there)that still knew it was a Catholic school. (So many of the other Catholic and Jesuit schools have become very secular.) They can have controversial speakers all they want in the furtherance of education, but not at graduation. Come’on; get a clue!

The problem with the situation is that Boston College invited the Irish PM before the abortion legislation was introduced.

However, Boston College should have kept track with what was going on in Ireland, and said that there was a technical problem (as a basis for cancelling the invitation).

Maybe BC should have looked into how good a Catholic the PM was before the invitation was given...

Nonsense. Boston College hasn't been a Catholic school for a very, very long time.
