Walsh was mayor of Boston before being confirmed as the U.S. Secretary of Labor for the Biden administration. The former mayor, a Catholic, has been an avid supporter of abortion rights in the Bay State.
BOSTON, Mass. — A coalition of Catholic and pro-life organizations in Massachusetts is speaking out against the decision of a Boston Catholic school to honor U.S. Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh with an award named for Blessed Edmund Ignatius Rice.
The award is meant to recognize an individual who shares their God-given talents and resources to improve the lives of others.
But Marty Walsh, who was Boston mayor from 2014 to 2021, is not improving the lives of the unborn, says the spokesman of the Massachusetts Pro-Life Coalition, William Cotter.
“The award to Marty Walsh is a shameful betrayal of core Catholic moral beliefs and an overt violation of the prohibitions contained in Catholics in Political Life,” Cotter said in a March 14 statement. “It demonstrates a depraved indifference to the slaughter of 63 million unborn children since Roe v. Wade.”
Catholic Memorial School is an Edmund Rice Christian Brothers college preparatory school in Boston’s West Roxbury neighborhood. The school has announced that they will be granting the former mayor with the Blessed Edmund Ignatius Rice Medal at their Spring Gala in April. Bl. Rice was founder of the Christian Brothers.

Oh, for the times when the Catholics had Catholic leaders.
No “cancel culture” on the pro-life side, I guess.
Change the school’s name to “Satan Memorial School”.
I believe there are more Catholics in the laity than there are in the clergy.
Prediction: By 2050 the Catholic Church (like the Presbyterians, Anglicans, Methodists before it) will split into conservative and liberal wings.
