BOSTON — The widow of U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy will be giving a spring commencement speech at a Roman Catholic college in Massachusetts after all.
Boston College Law School announced Friday that Victoria Kennedy will give the keynote address at its May 25 commencement.
Kennedy had been scheduled to deliver this year’s commencement speech at Anna Maria College in Paxton. But last month, the college withdrew the invitation under pressure from Bishop Robert McManus of the Diocese of Worcester (WUS’-tur).
McManus objected to Kennedy’s public support for abortion rights and gay marriage, which are against church teachings.

The Holy Father has started speaking out on the subject. That’s the signal that something’s brewing. It always takes the Vatican a while to get moving. Our Bishops are on notice and if they don’t fix the situation the Holy Father will. Ask any liberal nun in a baggy pant suit with a man’s haircut you may know.
Apparently what is wrong in one Diocese is not necessarily wrong in the Diocese next door.
Ironically this is a top criticism that the Catholic Church has been throwing at Protestants for many years.
Ugh! That's Woos-tuh.
btw, you can always count on BC to flack for the Boston Irish mob. Their ties to corrupt Irish pols is far stronger than their ties to Catholic doctrine.
Doh! Their ties ...are...
