Catholic Universities & UNICEF
Officials at the six Catholic universities with UNICEF chapters seemed mostly unaware of either UNICEF’s shift toward abortion advocacy or the Vatican’s disapproval of same. From spokesmen and women at the six–Boston College, Fordham, Georgetown, Loyola-Marymount-California, the University of St. Thomas (Texas), and Villanova–I got many who answered “They do?” and “It did?” when I asked whether UNICEF’s pro-choice stance and the papacy’s reaction to it caused any conflict on their own campuses.
