But that is an interesting story, as I got Father Frank Pavone in hot water over that (I was working with Priests for Life at the time, and Father Frank said to use our Priests for Life email for private email.
When the controversy over Hillary Clinton came up, Pope Benedict had just been elected Pope.
We were able to get this email on a Freerepublic thread.
I emailed the Pope with a cc: to the President of the College -- not thinking anyone would read it.
But I forgot that an email from Priests for Life domain (at that time priestsforlife.com) might actually be inspected by the Vatican. And it is possible that the President of the college was upset about Priests for Life sending emails to the Pope about this college.
The President of the college may have made the mistake of complaining to Cardinal Egan.
Cardinal Egan probably decided he could satisfy the Vatican but not the college over this, so he just simply kicked the college out of the Catholic Church... End of Story...
Hillary Clinton spoke at the commencement. But it was then a secular college and not a Catholic College... And it would have to appear as a "goof" on Hillary's resume -- getting a college kicked out of the Catholic Church just because she was going to speak at it...
Father Frank just real mad at me and just did not explain why he was mad.
I think he caught Hell over this issue.
And this was at the time that he was negotiating with the Archdiocese to go to Diocese of Amarillo -- which had just previously been approved...
If I knew all the facts, it would make for a most interesting story...
I also STRONGLY ENCOURAGED CBR to bring their ABORTION TRUCKS (RCC Campaign) to drive around Marymount Manhattan during the Commencement (with Hillary speaking)...
I also used my Priests for Life email for that...
“And it is possible that the President of the college was upset about Priests for Life sending emails to the Pope about this college.”
LOL! You should mailed them the world’s smallest violin, with charity of course. :D
