I would be proud to have the President of The United States speak at my commencement..Period

I have no problem with that. They always have the Pres do it. It would be beyond rude not to invite him.

It’s the honorary law degree that is beyond the pale. And according to Rassmussen, that is a common reaction with Catholics, by a 65 to 25 percent margin. Also, by doing it, they are going against guidelines issued by the U.S. bishops.

In other words, the President is the President, and having him speak is one thing. Honoring him, and going against the Church when you do it, with a law degree - no.
