2. The hypocrisy seems clear
Edited on Fri Jan-23-09 09:36 PM by willing dwarf
teachers and staff at a religious school are expected to live by the precepts of the religious organization that hired them. Just as the Quakers wouldn't hire security guards who rough up juveniles who are out of line or who carried a gun, neither would a Catholic School go for having a role model be someone who is having sexual relations outside of a marriage if sexual relations are considered to be for reproductive purposes only.

If the school wanted to maintain their integrity as being pro-life however, they should give the person a different job where she wouldn't be punished for her pregnancy but also wouldn't be connected to children.

But considering that this is the work of the same church that has allowed far worse actors, pedophile priests, full exposure (and then some) to innocent children without any concern or restraint, it is sadly ironic, and utterly hypocritical to claim that they are concerned about children being exposed to a woman whose sin is clear by having sex outside of marriage. If she'd had an abortion, her sin would be hidden, like the pedophile priests, and therefore, it would seem, more acceptable.

I am so tired of the sinfulness and hypocrisy of the church!
