Along with Boston College and Georgetown, the following Catholic institutions were cited by the Cardinal Newman Society for honoring individuals who hold positions contrary to Church teachings:

E College of New Rochelle (N.Y.): Mary O'Connor Donohue, pro-abortion lieutenant governor of New York, was scheduled to speak May 23.

E College of St. Catherine (Minn.): Pro-abortion U.S. Rep. Betty McCullom, D-Minn., who has opposed legislation to ban cloning of human embryos, spoke May 19.

E College of St. Rose (N.Y.): Frank Rhodes, president emeritus of Cornell University, spoke May 11. In 1987, Rhodes publicly welcomed dissident theologian Charles Curran to teach at Cornell during Father Curran's dispute with The Catholic University of America, which eventually fired him for dissent from Church teaching on contraception, divorce and homosexuality.

E Le Moyne College (N.Y.) Chief Judge Judith Kaye of the New York State Court of Appeals spoke May 19. In 1998, Kaye wrote the court's ruling that individuals and not the state have the right to determine the fate of frozen embryos, who are not “persons.” In 1995, Kaye wrote the court's ruling that homosexual and unmarried partners may adopt children.

E Lourdes College (Ohio): U.S. Rep. Marcie Kaptur, D-Ohio, spoke and received an honorary degree May 18. Kaptur's voting record includes votes in support of abortion rights.

E Loyola College (Md.): Former U.S. Senator George Mitchell spoke May 18. Mitchell authored the Freedom of Choice Act and consistently supported abortion rights.

E Marywood University (Pa.): Yolanda King, daughter of civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr., spoke May 12. King is an activist for homosexual rights.

E Mount St. Mary's College (Calif.): Leon Panetta, former chief of staff to President Bill Clinton, spoke May 11. Panetta publicly supported Clinton's position on abortion, including partial-birth abortion. As a U.S. Congressman from California, Panetta co-sponsored the Freedom of Choice Act in 1990.

E Notre Dame College (Ohio): Pro-abortion U.S. Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones, D-Ohio, spoke May 11.

E Saint Michael's College (Vt.): Barbara Snelling, a pro-abortion former lieutenant governor of Vermont and state senator received an honorary degree May 12.

E Stonehill College (Mass.):—Paul Kirk, Jr., former Democratic National Chairman and abortion-rights advocate, spoke May 19.

E Wheeling Jesuit University (W.Va): Pro-abortion Governor Bob Wise of West Virginia spoke May 18. As a U.S. Congressman from West Virginia, Wise helped defeat a ban on partial-birth abortion.
