Archbishop Raymond Burke has criticized a Catholic basketball coach at the Catholic University of St. Louis (SLU) for declaring himself pro-choice and in favor of embryonic stem cell research, the St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports.
Coach Rick Majerus was at a Hillary Clinton rally on Saturday to show his support of her candidacy. The basketball coach looked into the television camera and said “I am pro-choice, personally.”
At the rally he also told KMOV-TV he was in favor of destructive research on human embryos.
Archbishop of St. Louis Raymond Burke, speaking to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch newspaper before the March for Life in Washington, D.C. strongly criticized the coach’s statements.
