During the ceremony a lady stood up, subsequent to Sr Keehan's address, and accused her of supporting "legalized child killing" and called her a "socialist" at the top of her lungs.

First of all, Gonzaga is not a corrupted institution. Having attended there myself, I know first hand that what these teachers are impart upon their pupils is how Catholics should live: as good, loving citizens committed to doing justice in our world.
