New Orleans Catholic Newspaper Takes A look At Governor Bobby Jindal

The Catholic Newspaper of New Orleans had a nice short piece on the Governor at
Gov. Jindal’s Mardi Gras night was all work, no play
(available for download in pdf form).

It is pretty interesting read and it talks among other things about Bobby's pro-life activities at Brown University which was a very hostile environment

I am going to email the writer of this piece to correct him on something I feel he gets wrong:


Jindal’s public policy decisions,
however, do not always
square with church teaching.
He signed a law in 2008 that
allows for the chemical castration
of those convicted of
sexually assaulting children.

I do wish that this was not referenced as the "Chemical Castration" law. In reality this is not really castration and I see nothing at this point that makes it contradict Catholic teachings . I went into this in some detail at Is Bobby Jindals and Louisiana's new "Chemical Castration" Law Morally Ethical?

Nice read though
