Catholic Schools Ban Some Politicians

(CBS) CHICAGO It’s not unusual for local politicians to visit classrooms. But it is unusual to see, what amounts to a ban.

CBS 2’s Derrick Blakley reports that politicians on one side of the abortion debate are not welcome in Chicago Catholic schools.

Attorney General Lisa Madigan is both Catholic and a strong supporter of abortion rights, which the church opposes. That’s why she’s been quietly banned from appearing at Chicago’s Catholic schools, a move pro-life groups support.

Wonderful :clapping: ! If you as a politician are for something that goes against the Church, what do you expect? I hope more schools follow suit!

From the news piece:

Liberal Catholics worry the archdiocese will draw the line on abortion while ignoring other political positions that may violate catholic teaching on war, the death penalty or labor rights.

IOW, abortionists are being unfairly criticized.

I am waiting to see if the ACLU will get involved. They seem to like to stick their noses into private organization’s business (i.e. the Boy Scouts). I am also waiting to see if there is retaliation from the politicians.
