God Bless Bishop Trautman!

From GoErie.com:

Erie Catholic Bishop Donald W. Trautman will not attend the Mercyhurst College graduation in protest over Sen. Hillary Clinton’s visit to campus Tuesday.

Trautman issued a written statement on Monday, the day after the college announced Clinton would be speaking. The full text of the statement follows:

“I am disappointed in Mercyhurst College for not reflecting the pro-life stance of the Catholic Church regarding abortion. As tangible expression on my disappointment, I have notified (Mercyhurst President Tom) Gamble that I will not be present for Mercyhurst’s graduation. I am open to meeting with Dr. Gamble in the future to ascertain how the Catholic identity of Mercyhurst can be better clarified.”

H/T to Father Z.

These colleges just don't get it. I would never pay the kind of tuition these colleges charge for my son to go to be indoctrinated with anti-Catholic teaching. I would prefer he go to a secular university and seek out the Newman Society.
