Traditional BC Commencement Attendee to Be Absent

(NECN: Julie Loncich) – Monday is the day for commencement for Boston College, but one major name will be missing.

This is because of a controversy with the Keynote speaker.

Cardinal Sean O’Malley will not be in attendance.

He is boycotting the guest speaker, Irish Prime Minister Enda Kenny, a supporter of abortion rights.

O’Malley issued a statement that said, “Although I shall not be present to impart the final benediction, I assure the graduates that they are in my prayers on this important day in their lives."

Julie Loncich has more.
