Let Shapiro speak

Sun., Dec. 23, 2018

It was morbidly fascinating to see one of your letter writers chastising Gonzaga University for not allowing Ben Shapiro to speak at the university. Having someone whose homophobic beliefs are in the open and who is married to a physician should be the perfect speaker at a Catholic institution.

Let him speak, and then compare his views to the clergy who allowed him to speak. The irony in this is truly amazing.
