From The Et Tu Brute Department: Mark Shriver To Give Commencement Address At Mount St Mary's - Act Now To Stop This

In his book, Goodbye Good Men, Michael Rose extolled the seminary at the Mount as being one of the few decent ones that weren't overrun by gay pervert infestation.  Of course he wasn't speaking about the Mount at large, so maybe the seminary has been spared from participating in the immorality that must have underpinned this regrettable invitation.  Shriver will speak Saturday May 11 and receive an honorary doctorate of humane letters.  The abortion he advocates is anything but "humane".

As I look at the Board of Trustees, I see that Msgr John Enzler, of Catholic Charities notoriety, is on the board.  I perceive his paw-prints all over this invitation.

The Cardinal Newman Society has more information.  I've also posted on Shriver and the ridiculous pandering he's received from Churches and other Catholic organizations.  You'll also see in that anthology that faithful Catholics (including Yours Truly) have picketed him during some of those occasions.

Timothy Trainor, president of the university, can be contacted here.  Again, looking at the Board of Trustees, we see the name of Archbishop Lori on there.  Of course he'd be there, since the Mount is located within the Archdiocese of Baltimore.  It is worth noting that he attended seminary at the Mount.  He should also be contacted here.

We must ask them to withdraw the invitation to this pro-abortion person.  Else, they are flagrantly violating the directives set for in the USCCB's "Catholics In Political Life".  Will we picket this commencement?  The answer to that question is very much up to the Mount.

Also, please lodge your protests on the Mount's social media sites: Facebook and Twitter.

Kathleen Sebelius To Give Georgetown Commencement Address

Put her name next to the little magnifying glass at the top left and see how many times I reported on her many atrocities.  The latest one, of course, is the HHS mandate that crams down the throats of all decent people the onus of paying for contraceptives and abortifacients in health-coverage plans.  She has been rightly chided by bishops and laity alike.

Therefore I can only assume that Georgetown University is deliberately thumbing its nose at the Magisterium by extending an invitation to her to speak at the commencement of one of Georgetown's schools on Friday May 18th.  The disgrace will occur at 11:00am at the Leavey Center Ballroom.

The Cardinal Newman Society has a link by which you may send a petition to protest this inappropriate invitation.  You may sign it if you wish - or contact the Georgetown administration yourselves to protest.

Will we have to picket???

Announcing... "Lavender Commencements"!!!

You can guess what they are.  The Cardinal Newman Society has the latest on these and the usual bevvy of pro-aborts that disgrace the commencements at supposedly Catholic institutions of higher learning.  As you read the report, notice how frequently you see mention of Georgetown University.  These days, that's only to be expected.

Gonzaga Commencement - 2009

I came across this video by accident.  This seems to indicate that Gonzaga has developed, or is developing, a pattern of putrifying its commencement exercises.  They are "performing" (using the term loosely) the song "Circle of Life" from the Lion King.  Whatever else one might think of that song, it has no place in a Catholic Church.  Yes, you "men for others".  St Aloysius Church is precisely that - a Catholic Church, where Our Lord in the Blessed Sacrament deserves complete honor.  Here's the video (Click here if you can't see embedded videos).



I must say, however, that a repeat of the above performance would have been the "lesser of two evils" in comparison with Sister Carol Keehan's presence there.

Graduation Speaker Outrage Scheduled at DC's Gonzaga High

Gonzaga College High School, located on North Capitol Street between H and K Streets NW in Washington DC, will hold its commencement ceremony on Sunday, June 6, at 1:00pm.  The graduation speaker is Sister Carol Keehan - the same woman who used her influence to support the Obama Hell Bill last March.

I've posted much on her treachery in this blog, along with actions taken by clergy and organizations that have been truly commendable.  For instance, I call to your memories a letter written to Sr Keehan by Bishop Tobin when he severed ties with the Catholic Health Assocation (of which she is president).

Here is some pertinent information on Sister's Hell Care debacle: in this post, and now this post.  More information can be gleaned from Lifenews.  Also, please read this article from Catholic Advocate.

Two months ago, Sister Keehan was slated to speak at the John Carroll Society Annual Dinner.  When Sister's malfeasances were highlighted to the dinner planners, it was announced that Sister "couldn't make it".

Gonzaga's official address is: 19 Eye Street NW, Washington, DC  20001.  Its president is Rev Allen Novotny, S.J.  His email address is anovotny@gonzaga.org and his phone is (202) 336-7171.  The headmaster is Rev. Vincent Conti, S.J.  His email address is vconti@gonzaga.org and his phone is (202) 336-7161.

When you contact these men, please be very matter-of-fact and cordial.  It's quite possible that they booked her appearance before she disgraced her religious vows in March.  I'd appreciate hearing of any replies you receive.  That will help determine whether or not further action is necessary.
