'Scandalous': Carrie Prejean Boller to receive 'Catholic Champion' award at gala with Candace Owens

A Catholic leader directing a movement against antisemitism called it “scandalous” for Carrie Prejean Boller to receive a “Catholic Champion” award following her removal from President Donald Trump’s Religious Liberty Commission, which Boller claimed was due to her faith and rejection of Zionism.

Simone Rizkallah, the director of the Coalition of Catholics Against Antisemitism, urged fellow believers not to attend a prayer gala on March 19 organized by the advocacy group Catholics for Catholics.

Boller, former Miss California and a Catholic convert, is scheduled to receive an award for her “courageous defense” of the Catholic faith during a commission hearing, according to an announcement last week by Catholics for Catholics President John Yep. The event will be held in Washington, D.C., and feature several speakers, including Candace Owens and Daily Wire commentator Matt Walsh.

In a statement to The Christian Post, Rizkallah said Boller’s behavior during a commission hearing on combating antisemitism was “not an act of Catholic courage,” and disputed the claim that Boller’s faith had anything to do with her removal.
