CATHOLIC SCHOOLS FOUNDATION HOSTS GOVERNOR MAURA HEALEY
According to Politico and the State House News Service, the Catholic Schools Foundation—the philanthropy which raises funds for parochial schools in the Archdiocese of Boston—hosted Massachusetts Governor Maura Healey as its speaker, at the organization’s Annual Gala in Boston, on Thursday night, April 11th.
Healey is a partnered lesbian, endorsed by Planned Parenthood, who has credited the nation’s largest abortion perpetrator as the force which made possible her political career.
The Planned Parenthood Advocacy Fund of Massachusetts endorsed Healey and contributed to her campaign, when ran for Attorney General—her first elective office—in 2014. She subsequently said that their support was “a game changer for my campaign.”
Healey received their endorsement again when she ran for re-election in 2018, and when she ran for governor in 2022.
Healey is one of the leaders of the repressive, post Dobbs movement to target, defame, restrict and ultimately suppress pro-life pregnancy care centers.
As attorney-general, Healey issued a truthless press release and an unscrupulously deceitful Consumer Advisory denouncing crisis pregnancy centers.
As governor, Healey signed a supplemental budget allocating more than one million tax dollars to a NARAL inspired disinformation campaign to demonize pro-life centers.
In an event unprecedented in the 244 year history of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, Healey recently appointed her former paramour to the Supreme Judicial Court.
Besides being a proponent of same sex marriage, the inclusion of sexual orientation and gender identity in civil rights law, and the expansion of access to legal, unrestricted and publicly funded abortion, Healey is an opponent of vouchers and tuition tax credits for Catholic schools.
In 2022, Healey criticized Worcester Bishop Robert McManus for defending the Catholic identity of Catholic schools in that diocese.
In its 2004 statement, Catholics in Political Life, the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops warned:
The Catholic community and Catholic institutions should not honor those who act in defiance of our fundamental moral principles. They should not be given awards, honors or platforms which would suggest support for their actions.
The Chairman of the Board of Trustees of the Catholic Schools Foundation is Cardinal Sean O’Malley, the Archbishop of Boston.
Among those listed on the event’s Gala Committee is the socially liberal owner of the New England Patriots, Robert Kraft, who was charged, unsuccessfully, with soliciting a prostitute in 2019.
Kraft, reportedly, is an advocate of Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) for Boston’s Catholic schools.
The Catholic Action League called the invitation to Healey “the latest in a long and lamentable line of betrayals and scandals that have characterized the episcopate of Sean O’Malley in Boston.”
Catholic Action League Executive Director C. J. Doyle made the following comment: “As Cardinal O’Malley once co-authored an op-ed piece with Maura Healey, implicitly critical of the Trump Administration on illegal immigration, it comes as no surprise that Healey should receive an invitation from a Catholic organization chaired by the Cardinal.”
“Cardinal O’Malley has a two decade history of praising, promoting, honoring and fraternizing with pro-abortion political figures, including the late U.S. Senator Edward Kennedy, the late Boston Mayor Thomas Menino, former Secretary of State John Kerry, former Labor Secretary and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, U.S. Senator Robert Casey, Jr., former Governor Charlie Baker, former Congressman Joseph Kennedy III and former President Barack Obama.”
“When a purportedly Catholic organization, headed by a Cardinal of the Holy Roman Church, invites to its premier annual function a lesbian public official, backed by Planned Parenthood, who is waging a campaign of intimidation against pro-life institutions in her state, it tells us all we need to know about the total absence of integrity, fidelity and Catholic loyalty by those involved.”
“Cardinal O’Malley should be ashamed of himself. Is Maura Healey an inspiring role model for Catholic students? What rational person, in their right mind, could reasonably be expected to ever take seriously anything which the Catholic Church in Boston teaches about Christian morality?”
“Actions speak louder than words. This is a grave scandal.”
