Cardinal's Dying Wish: Keep Clinton Out of St. Patrick's
NewsMax.com
May 8, 2000

As Cardinal O'Connor battled brain cancer and faced death during
the past eight months, he remained steadfast in his distaste of
Bill Clinton. A source close to the Cardinal tells NewsMax.com
that O'Connor had a long-standing order to keep Bill Clinton out
of St. Patrick's Cathedral � no matter how important the
occasion.

Last week the White House announced that both Bill and Hillary
Clinton would be attending the Cardinal's funeral mass at St.
Patrick's, set for Monday afternoon.

"O'Connor would have gone berserk if he knew Clinton was coming,"
the source said.

O'Connor was said to be extremely hostile to Clinton, a man who
annoyed him on several levels. O'Connor had been a veteran, a
Navy Admiral who had served in the military and in the front
lines of Vietnam.

Clinton's draft avoidance record didn't sit well with the
Cardinal, nor did Clinton's corruption.

O'Connor was also annoyed with Clinton's strong advocacy of
partial birth abortion � a procedure O'Connor likened to
infanticide.

O'Connor's animus toward the president erupted after the crash of
TWA Flight 800 in 1996.

In the days after the tragedy, Mayor Giuliani had organized a
memorial service for the victims' families at JFK Airport.

Cardinal O'Connor was set to officiate, until he found out
Clinton planned on attending.

"If Clinton is coming, you can count me out," O'Connor's office
bluntly told the mayor's office.

Clinton was quickly disinvited.

A month or so after the crash, O'Connor hosted his own memorial
mass at St.  Patrick's for the victims. Clinton was in New York
that weekend for a birthday party and the White House called the
Archdiocese and asked if he could attend.

The answer from the Cardinal's Office was blunt: Bill Clinton is
not welcome at St. Patrick's.
