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.

Semper Fi! Tough to keep the lefties away from our kids these days for sure. Always Vigilant is the order of the day.

Abortion aside, Matthews supports the very policies which measure worth in financial terms. The Catholic Church opposes socialism because it puts the focus on materialism instead of true value (i.e., sanctity of life.) Matthews will not have to mention abortion rights because they are a natural byproduct of his philosophy.
I believe earlier this week i read about another Catholic University that had invited a terrorist to speak.
What in the world are these Catholic Universities thinking these days? Have they lost their minds? The leaders have certainly lost their faith if they had any in the first place.
WHY let an Apostle of Abortionism speak at a CATHIOLIC school?
Ave María grátia pléna Dóminustécum, benedícta tu in muliéribus, et benedíctus frúctus véntris túi, Jésus. Sáncta María, Máter Déi, óra pro nóbis peccatóribus, nunc et in hóra mórtis nóstrae. Amen
You are very correct indeed. There is no wisdom on the left.
They haven’t lost their minds, they’ve lost their souls. They traded in the Catholic faith for the religion of leftism. Leftism is their new religion. The “wide road” that leads to destruction. Matt. 7:13-14
Ping
yeah.

The Hawk is finally dead ( /// very sad )
The pro-abortion leaders of the Catholic Church has the blood of the unborn murdered children on it’s hands. As do any person who alledges to be a christion and a supporter of abortion.
The death cult of abortion.
Should provide a thrill up the leg for the wacko modernist liberals there.
“STOP THE DONATIONS!! Notre Dame AND St. Joseph’s will back off when the money stops.”
I’m a grad of St Joseph’s and realized a long time ago (after I graduated) that it is CINO. I always trash the annual letters that come in the mail asking for donations. I think I’ll respond to the next request with my reasons why I don’t send a penny.
The should invite his traitor brother Jim instead. Sold his soul for the Montgomery County Chairmanship after finishing 3rd in the vote. Made a deal with leftist Joe Hoeffel and slapped the voters in the face with his deceit.
