If you came here expecting me to bash Catholic Charities I will not. THey do much good work. However Amy Wellborn sums up my view as to this case at Catholic Charities and Abortion.
She ends her piece with this in response that the staff of Catholic Charities was ignorant of Church Teaching:
The ignorance plea is getting really old. No one knew pedophilia was incurable, our employees were unaware of the Catholic Church’s teaching on abortion and contraception. Nonsense. Do a Jay Leno and take to the streets and ask John and Mary American…”What does the Catholic Church say about abortion?” I’m pretty sure, unlike Leno’s other questions, you’d get a 100% correct answering rate.
No - a more honest answer might - note I say might be willing to suggest: “Evidently in this Catholic Charities office, fidelity to Church teaching on life was not part of the criterea for hiring and retention and the offices were not run in a way in which employee action was clearly an expression of the Church’s commitment to life. We’re going to have to re-evaluate the sensibilities, presumptions and environment in which CC and the MRS office operates to mamke sure this is not systemic. “
And for homework: Read this. Several times.
How true. How HONEST. I mean no is going to buy this CYA excuse that we did not know the Catholic Chruch was against Abortion. We are not idiots!!!
