The Roman Catholic Bishop of Erie says he will boycott Mercyhurst College's graduation in May in protest over Sen. Hillary Clinton's visit to the campus today.
In a written statement yesterday, Bishop Donald Trautman says he is disappointed in the Catholic school for not reflecting on the Roman Catholic Church's stance on abortion.
Ms. Clinton, who is seeking the Democratic nomination for president, favors abortion rights.
Bishop Trautman says he notified Mercyhurst of his decision and is open to meeting with school President Tom Gamble to determine how to better ascertain the school's Catholic identity.
Thank you Bishop Trautman for defending Church teachings.
