| Description | SPOKANE, WASHINGTON, April 5, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com) – Observers are asking why a Catholic university in Spokane would invite Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu to address its graduating class considering his decades-long record of supporting abortion, homosexuality, female ordination, theological liberalism, and collectivist economic theories condemned by the Roman Catholic Church.
Administrators at Gonzaga University, a Jesuit-run institution beginning its 125th year, asked the famed Anglican bishop to speak at commencement on May 13, where they will fete him with an honorary doctor of law degree. Thayne McCulloh, who became the first layman to serve as university president in July 2010, said Tutu has “a unique convergence” with the school’s ideals and his presence “is an enormous testament to our students, our faculty and our institution.”
The 1984 Nobel Peace Prize winner, who as the first black archbishop of Cape Town opposed South Africa’s policy of apartheid, has become a frequent commencement speaker since retiring in 1996. But faithful Catholics say Tutu’s stance on moral issues should disqualify him. |
