Pro-Abortion Journalist Chris Matthews To Speak At St. Joseph's
School Chooses Chris Matthews To Give Commencement Address By Chris Freind, The Bulletin Friday, April 03, 2009 Ignoring the controversy surrounding Notre Dame’s honoring of pro-abortion Barack Obama as its commencement speaker, Saint Joseph’s University has followed suit. It will grant an honorary degree to broadcast journalist Chris Matthews at the university’s 2009 commencement ceremonies.
Despite Mr. Matthew’s Catholic education, having graduated from the College of the Holy Cross, he is widely regarded as a strong supporter of abortion rights, and was unabashed in his admiration of Mr. Obama’s positions.
Support for abortion is antithetical to the Church’s teachings.
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops opposes the practice of hosting speakers who are outspoken against Catholic doctrine.
“The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles,” said the bishop’s conference in a statement. “They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.”
Calls to Saint Joseph’s President Fr. Timothy Lannon went unreturned.

Good move. The RCC is lost, and these shenanigans are further evidence of that.
I am a grad of St Joes what an utter disgrace to have this faux catholic corrupt the Mind of SJU Graduating Class. A windbag on top of it!!
Who is the old queen in your pic?
Oh never mind. he he
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
I’m a Nova grad but a St Joe’s B-Ball fan.....except for this weekend of course.
what is going on in the catholic religion for crying out loud
The Pope needs to get every priest and every person who is in charge of these catholics schools and tell them to get back to teaching about their religion instead of hiring liberals so they can brainwash these kids
The north east should be the most red of all this country and yet it is the most blue
try to figure that out..Catholics keep voting time and time again for the party which is totally against their faith
either these people do not follow their religion or are just plain ignorant and yes I know it is not all
Lamh Foistenach Abu!
Like the Jews who also vote against their best interests, these CINOs have traded in their Catholicism for the Religion of Liberalism- now referred to as Statism, courtesy of Mark levin.
When I see news of Catholics nationwide protesting outside their church buildings on Sunday morning, with signs and bullhorns, then I’ll consider that they may be correcting themselves.
very true indeed
I left the episcopal church because of the homo and how some are now becoming religious socialists .
Why do Jews and Catholics for the most part actually go against their own faith, the amount of times I have said you cannot be catholic on a Sunday and a Dem on a Monday.
It still goes though their ears instead of sticking in their heads.
Yes there are other faiths but for the most part it is not on a scale like Jews and Catholics.
this post in no way is trying to disrespect those two religions either before I get jumped on
I am an alumna of Villanova. If you are Catholic or conservative please don't waste your money.
THANK YOU! Just called his office (recording) and left a detailed message expressing my disgust. Also wrote to the crack journalist thanking him for doing a job most forgot how to do.
My exact reason as well.
There seem to be so many fake Catholic politicians who want their Catholic bona fides for election purposes but stand in direct opposition to the Church......and the Catholic Church lets them! Read Goodbye / Good Men by Rose. It explains how the leftists took over my Catholic Church.....and still control the American faction till this day.
Unfortunatley, as a Villanove grad, I have to agree. It is indeed a shame. Nova honored Noam Chomsky with a “lifetime achievement” award a few years back. I haven’t given a dollar since. Marxist, anti-American creep.
Yep, left wing indoctrination 101 at Villanova. Fortunately I was drunk most of the time and it didn’t have the desired effect. Lucky me ;-)
We are looking at the great sifting. Go read Michael O’Brien’s latest and see if you are reading it the same way I am.
“His term of office is now underway and he is facing numerous domestic and foreign crises, including the financial collapse, the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and perhaps soon a war with Iran. These, along with the monetary problems between the U.S.A. and China, may prove to be too great an obstacle, and could even bring about Obama’s defeat at the next presidential election. Alternatively, he could become the “Great Facilitator”, negotiator, peace-maker, working marvels throughout the world as he moves from one seemingly unsolvable problem to another. At this early stage, it is difficult to say which it will be.
What is undeniable is that in his domestic policies Obama is pursuing his promised agenda of radical changes to American laws—for example, those that until now have provided some protection for pre-birth children. Now, all resistance is to be swept away,”
