Anti-gay Catholic school cancels address by Ted Kennedy’s widow…
A small Catholic college in Massachusetts has been pressured by the local bishop into canceling an invitation to the widow of Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.) to deliver the school’s commencement address because of her support of abortion rights and gay marriage.
Worcester Bishop Robert J. McManus also told officials at Anna Maria College last week that the school should not give Victoria Kennedy an honorary degree, diocesan spokesman Raymond L. Delisle said Monday.
“I am a lifelong Catholic and my faith is very important to me. I am not a public official. I hold no public office nor am I a candidate for public office,” Kennedy said. “Yet by objecting to my appearance at Anna Maria College, he has made a judgment about my worthiness as a Catholic. This is a sad day for me and an even sadder one for the church I love.”
The school is a liberal arts college. Can you tell me what is so “liberal” about it? I think the name should be changed to The Anna Maria school of ignorance and bigotry. We teach your children to hate…
And honestly she should not be speaking at a school that hold discrimination as a core value…
