Eight US Catholic colleges plan commencement honors for anti-Catholic figures
April 22, 2015
The Cardinal Newman Society (CNS) has found eight cases in which American Catholic colleges and universities plan commencement honors for public speakers who have taken clear public stands against Church teaching on key moral issues.
Last year CNS—a Virginia-based organization dedicated to protecting Catholic identity in higher education—reported that at least 20 Catholic institutions honored individuals who were at odds with Church teaching. A preliminary list of this year’s offenders includes: Elms College in Massachusetts, Hilbert College in New York, Loyola University in New Orleans, St. Joseph’s University in Philadelphia, St. Mary’s College in California, St. Peter’s College in New Jersey, and Xavier University in Louisiana.
