Cardinal Newman Society Releases Report Card on College Graduation Speakers | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

A group that promotes and defends faithful Catholic education is releasing its report card for this Spring's college graduation speakers. In line for high marks is Ave Mary University in Florida. Its graduation speaker is Father Mike Schmitz, best-known for the Bible in a Year and Catechism in a Year podcasts. The Catholic University of America selected Jonathan Roumie, the actor who portrays Jesus Christ on the TV series, 'The Chosen'. Roumie also is outspoken about his Catholic faith. However, not every Catholic school received a passing grade. Founder and president of the Cardinal Newman Society, Patrick Reilly, joins to tell us some of the schools that have a good, faithful commencement speaker. He gives us some examples of the Catholic schools who picked a speaker who may not be in line with Church teaching. Reilly discusses why selecting the right graduation speaker is so important. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
