Ahead of House Speaker John Boehner’s May 14 commencement address at the Catholic University of America, over 75 professors from Catholic universities have written a letter criticizing the Ohio Republican’s budget proposal.
However, the letter itself drew criticism.
Bill Donohue, president of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, said with some sarcasm that it was “delightful to learn that all of these professors are now on record expressing fidelity to the teachings of the Catholic Church.”
He was dismissive towards the letter’s authors, saying they are “not representative of Catholic sentiment.”
