From Times Wire Reports
The Roman Catholic university founded by Domino’s pizza magnate Thomas Monaghan has graduated its first class, giving an honorary degree to L. Paul Bremer III, the former head of the U.S.-led occupation in Iraq.
Twenty-three students received bachelor’s degrees Saturday from Ave Maria University in Naples, Fla., the first Catholic university to open in the U.S. in four decades.
Bremer, a Catholic, told graduates that their generation would fight Islamic extremism the way their fathers fought communism.
