From Chris Friend at The Bulletin of Philadelphia:
Ignoring the controversy surrounding Notre Dame's honoring of pro-abortion Barack Obama as its commencement speaker, Saint Joseph's University has followed suit.
It will grant an honorary degree to broadcast journalist Chris Matthews at the university's 2009 commencement ceremonies.
Despite Mr. Matthew's Catholic education, having graduated from the College of the Holy Cross, he is widely regarded as a strong supporter of abortion rights, and was unabashed in his admiration of Mr. Obama's positions.
Support for abortion is antithetical to the Church's teachings.The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops opposes the practice of hosting speakers who are outspoken against Catholic doctrine.
"The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles," said the bishop's conference in a statement. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions."
Calls to Saint Joseph's President Fr. Timothy Lannon went unreturned.
This move by St. Joe is a disgrace.
BTW: The commencement will also feature remarks by radical leftist Cornel West who will also receive an honorary degree.
And there's more:
I look forward to meeting these exemplary honorary degree recipients and welcoming them to our tremendous University community,” said University President Timothy R. Lannon, S.J.
Here's how you can make your voice heard:
Call the St. Joe communications office at 610-660-1385 or contact senior communications director Kelly Welsh at kwelsh@sju.edu.
Also, contact University President Timothy R. Lannon, S.J. by calling 610-660-1000.
You can reach the office of University Communications at ucomm@sju.edu., through their website, or by telephone at 610-660-1221.

Matthews On 'Stagecraft'
Aunt Blabby (aka Chris Matthews) has gone and done it again!
Blabby's Big Mouth, blatant partisanship, huge ego and bad manners have once again made him the Poster Boy for Out-of-Control Liberalism.
Here's the story from the Associated Press:
MSNBC's Chris Matthews said he was surprised by the "peculiar stagecraft" of Louisiana Gov. Bobby Jindal's response to President Barack Obama's speech to Congress, leading him to quietly say "Oh God" as Jindal approached a microphone.
The remark inspired a brief Internet guessing game about who had said it and questions about whether someone at MSNBC was mocking the Republican governor.
Matthews' barely audible "Oh God" appeared to be a classic case of someone talking on TV without realizing their microphone was on, and potentially embarrassing to a network many Republicans already regard with suspicion because of left-leaning talk shows by Keith Olbermann and Rachel Maddow.
"I was taken aback by that peculiar stagecraft, the walking from somewhere in the back of this narrow hall, the winding staircase looming there, the odd antibellum look of the scene," Matthews said in a script for his "Hardball" show on Wednesday. "Was this some mimicking of a president walking along the state floor to the East Room?"
Matthews said he wasn't referring to Jindal himself, or anything he expected the governor to say.
A clip of the "Oh God" remark quickly made the Internet rounds. Before it was known that Matthews had said it, the Huffington Post asked readers to guess who it was and nearly 7,000 people responded: 32 percent had guessed Matthews, 35 percent said it was Olbermann, his co-anchor, 15 percent said it was an MSNBC camera operator and 18 percent thought it was a producer.
It's not the first time Matthews' mouth has gotten him noticed for the wrong reasons. He was ridiculed by some Republicans for saying he "felt this thrill going up my leg" during an Obama speech, but later defended the remark as an objective look at Obama's ability to inspire through his speeches.
After some protests by women's groups, Matthews said he was wrong last year to say that the reason Hillary Clinton was a senator and candidate for president "is that her husband messed around."
So the Blabberino didn't like the "peculiar stagecraft."
But Matthews himself is the living, walking embodiment of "peculiar stagecraft."
He's a rumpled, loud, obnoxious goofy-looking guy who can't seem to keep his mouth shut and can't stop making an ass of himself.
MSNBC and NBC should have canned this clown years ago!

Forget Lincoln, King
Aunt Blabby (aka Chris Matthews) has been at it again.News Busters reports that after Obama's laborious 45-minute oration last week Matthews couldn't wait to declare the OH!man's windy lecture "worthy of Abraham Lincoln," and also claimed it bypassed Martin Luther King Jr.'s "I Have A Dream" address as the "best speech ever given on race in this country."
And now The Blabberino has opened his mouth again declaring that Obama "gets to me" and adding that he just can't help but get emotional when Obama speaks, like some kind of impressionable Obamaniac.
Not that we should be shocked or surprised about Aunt Blabby's schoolgirl crush. He's already said that that he feels a "thrill up my leg" when Obama goes into one of his stem winders. It's like Matthews is breathless waiting for Obama to slide the glass slipper onto his tootsy.
Even on Good Friday Chris Matthews just can't shut up. He simply can't stop gushing, can't stop preening, can't stop bloviating. Go away, Chris - go far, far away!
