Sorry Senator…We Changed our Mind
Senator McCaskill was uninvited from St. Joseph’s Academy, a private Catholic high school her daughters attend. Sen. McCaskill was scheduled to deliver the commencement address but was later contacted and informed that she would be able to make the speech.
In a prepared statement, McCaskill said she was “thrilled” that she was invited to speak at the school and was “disappointed that (St. Louis Archbishop Raymond Burke) has made this decision.”
However, an Archdiocese spokesperson and officials with the Catholic Education Office insist that it was not Burke who made the decision. In fact, they said he was never consulted on the matter.
What does it matter who made the decision? She shouldn’t have been invited in the first place! These schools and Catholic organizations need to get the point that they should not give these pro-life politicians a forum.
