FARMINGTON HILLS, MI, February 13, 2003 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Mercy Catholic High School removed its "Lunch with Governor Granholm" item from its upcoming auction after vigorous protest by pro-life parents, alumni, and local Catholics due to Governor Granholm's well-known advocacy of abortion. In response, local Catholics are now applauding school president Sister Regina Marie Doelker's decision to withdraw Granholm from Mercy's "Night with the Stars" auction "Out of sensitivity to any who might interpret this item as Mercy taking a pro-abortion stand."
Dr. Monica Migliorino-Miller, director of the Stop Granholm Church and Truth Project, praised Sr. Doelker's decision: "A Catholic school shouldn't feature Governor Granholm as a prize because she publicly repudiates Church teaching and insists that abortion advocacy is consistent with Catholicism. We also thank Cardinal Maida for being responsive to complaints about this scandal."
Dr. Miller explained that Granholm's obstinate abortion advocacy disqualifies her from being upheld as a model Catholic, "Granholm is no different than California Governor Gray Davis, whose Bishop recently told him that he should not receive Holy Communion if he persists in his support of child killing. Michigan Catholics need to know that Granholm's anti-Catholic views are unacceptable."
