WASHINGTON (AP) — Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius paid homage to religious freedom and the separation of church and state in a graduation speech Friday at Georgetown University that was briefly interrupted by an anti-abortion heckler.
Catholic church authorities earlier had lambasted Georgetown's invitation for her to speak at the Public Policy Institute's awards ceremony.
Invoking the late President John F. Kennedy, Sebelius called the separation of church and state "a fundamental principle in our unique democracy." She urged graduates to weigh different views in policy debates and follow their own moral compasses.
Sickening. The "separation of church and state" line has been grossly distorted and radicalized by the likes of Kennedy and Sebelius, and the sad thing is that they get away with it time and again. Maybe a "strongly worded" statement will be issued by a bishop or a diocese, but nothing of substance is ever done about Catholic politicians who routinely flout the Church's teaching. Business as usual. Life goes on.
