Pro-Abortion Pelosi to Deliver Commencement at Jesuit USF

This is just another example of the propensity of Catholic College and University presidents to suck up to political power while simultaneously shunning Christ and His Church.

May 17, 2007The Cardinal Newman Society (CNS) has urged the University of San Francisco (USF) - a Jesuit, Catholic university - to cancel its invitation to pro-abortion Rep. Nancy Pelosi to deliver the university's commencement address this Saturday. CNS also is opposing a posthumous honorary degree to pro-abortion politician Leo T. McCarthy. "Even as we celebrate the fact that a growing number of Catholic colleges are choosing exemplary commencement speakers and honorees, we learn that the University of San Francisco has chosen a much different direction," wrote CNS President Patrick J. Reilly in a letter faxed to USF President Rev. Stephen Privett, S.J., today. "You are publicly allying a Catholic university with leaders of what Pope John Paul II called a 'Culture of Death.'"
