For years now the cardinal has even had a long-standing order to keep Bill Clinton out of St. Patrick's Cathedral, no matter how important the occasion. In the days following the 1996 crash of a TWA flight near New York, Mayor Giuliani organized a mem-orial service for the victims' families at JFK Airport. Cardinal O'Connor was set to officiate until he was informed that Clinton planned to attend. "If Clinton is coming, you can count me out," the cardinal told Giuliani, citing the President’sdisregard for the sanctity of life.

I remember during the funeral saying to my mom, Cardinal O'Connor had to be dead for Clinton to get into St Patricks
