The incoming archbishop of the notorious archdiocese of Boston is slamming a “Catholic” college for hosting a Harris-Walz fundraiser, while his Chicagoan counterpart is taking the opposite approach to America’s Abortion Party.
Ahead of the Democratic National Convention (DNC) this month, Salve Regina University in Rhode Island hosted a fundraiser for Vice President Kamala Harris’s presidential campaign, featuring the Democratic nominee’s running mate, Minnesota governor Tim Walz (D). The fundraiser brought in an estimated $600,000 and was attended by over 300 Rhode Island Democrats.
Walz himself spoke at the event, reportedly touting abortion. “Who’s asking to take away women’s reproductive rights?” Walz asked, in a speech reportedly centered on attacking former President Donald Trump and his Republican running mate, Catholic convert and Ohio senator J.D. Vance. Walz is said to have quipped, “Things really work best in communities when you mind your own damn business.”
Bishop Richard Henning of the Diocese of Providence, soon to be the archbishop of Boston, had his office issue a statement saying that he and the diocese “were surprised and disappointed by the decision of Salve Regina University to rent space to a partisan political event and fundraiser, and we’ve received a number of messages from Catholics across Rhode Island expressing the same surprise and disappointment.”
“The Church’s role in political matters is firstly to form the consciences of the lay faithful,” Henning’s statement insisted, continuing to note that the diocese “does not permit Catholic institutions in Rhode Island to endorse candidates for office nor even give the appearance of such endorsements.”
