This is an outrage. Not only as a Catholic, but an alumni of MSMC. I see things have not changed there, that is why they have not gotten one dime from me since I graduated.

I was pretty po'd back in '88 when the student "powers that be" conveniently "left" me out of the decision process as to who to bring in for our own graduation speaker. (I was our class rep). I had been to a couple of the meetings and voiced my suggestions on who to get.

They (my "fellow" senior students) knew I had a stong opinion, and met secretly....came up with some far left wacko-bimbo CBS journalist, who proceeded to blather/screech throughout the talk about how we should "give away our services/skills" (after paying through the nose in tuition, and looking at years of paying off student loans). What a maroon, and she did not get a loud applause.

Needless to say, I had my headphones on during all of graduation, listening to the Laker playoffs. Hmmph.

MSMC has lost it. Or, they will, at least many $$$$$ in alumni donations if these pro-abortion speakers go on.

What do you expect from L.A.? Most of the Catholics in CA are liberals. I feel like an outsider whenever I go to mass. I get criticized or snubbed off just because I won't shake hands and have a jolly ol' time at the 'Sign of Peace,' which I do participate in by just bowing to people and saying what should be said. Just look at Cardinal Mahoney and that will just tell you the state of the Catholic Church in CA. He sent out a letter telling his people that the war in Iraq was not doing God's will, in so many words.

Cardinal Mahoney does have some amibitions to becoming the next pope--God help us!

Traditionalists have ignited a debate among Catholics...

They use the word "traditionalists" as if a Catholic against abortion is somehow archaic, like those who favor witch burnings.
