Boycotting respected speakers because of their views on abortion laws who will not be speaking about abortion seems excessive.

Especially Rudy Guiliani.

I've got an idea. Let's boycott all of George W. Bush's speeches because he had Guiliani give a keynote at his convention, and George allows for exceptions.

Would these churchmen boycott the President of the United States if he spoke at a Catholic University?

SS: I have an idea: Keep the cafeteria closed and have Church authorities purge anyone trying to pry it open.

Here comes Deacon Dissent. Why "especially" Rudy? Because he has an (R) after his name? You've never met a boycott you liked, looking sophisticated to the intelligentsia has always been a higher concern.

If that president were Bill Clinton, I would certainly hope so.

These are supposedly Catholic colleges. They have no business bestowing honorary degrees on people who are pro-abortion - let alone self proclaimed Catholics who are pro-abort.

I personally would be OK with a churchman showing up if this president were to receive an honorary degree because 1)He's much more pro-life than the law of the land and 2)He doesn't call himself Catholic.
