Matt Abbot has an update to a previous column.
In a previous column, I reported that Loyola University Chicago School of Law will, on Oct. 30, 2004, give the ‘St. Robert Bellarmine Award’ to Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan, an avowed pro-abortionist.
An update: A reliable source has informed me that Francis Cardinal George, O.M.I., Archbishop of Chicago, contacted the university to implore its administration to cancel the award.
Loyola reportedly has refused the cardinal’s request.
Concerned Catholics who wish to contact Loyola University Chicago School of Law to express their concerns about this latest development can send an e-mail to loyolachicagolaw@luc.edu.
On the positive side it is nice to see Cardinal George contacting them about this matter.

Greetings, Jeff.
One problem with this story: There's no mention on Ms Madigan's web page that I can find that says she supports abortion on demand. I'm not sure Mr Abbott can prove his contention she's pro-abortion. Has anyone found any reference to her legislative career?
To see just how pro-abortion Madigan is, see the following:
