| Description | Gov. Janet Napolitano and other politicians who support issues like abortion and gay rights have been banned from speaking at Catholic churches in the Phoenix Diocese.
So far, Napolitano has been the only one affected by the edict from Phoenix Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted. She was forbidden to speak last year at a Catholic church in Scottsdale at an event opposing Proposition 200, a ballot measure that restricted the rights of undocumented immigrants. The event was moved to another site.
The issue surfaced again last week when some speakers at a memorial service for homeless people who died in the July heat wave bowed out because they thought they, too, were banned. |
