Cardinal O Connor would not allow himself to be in a photo shoot with Clinton.
The cardinal was very adamant on the life issue.
He also banned Geraldine Ferraro from speaking at St Patrick's because of her stand on life issues.
Oh I know that there was absolutely no love lost between Cardinal O’Connor and Bill Clinton. I just have a hard time believing that someone like Cardinal O’Connor would threaten to leave those who needed his help merely because Clinton was showning up. I think he was a much bigger man than that. I would have expected him to continue ministering to the grieving relatives and ignoring Clinton rather than the other way around.
