This is a terribly sad business.
Supreme Court halts contraception mandate for religious groups

Teacher fired over Playboy photos
It would be one thing if the woman had put the pornographic modeling career behind her, but her webpage was still up and we are told that immediately after being fired from teaching she went back to modeling. I suspect the whole business was a publicity stunt… which apparently has worked. Unlike religious schools, can public or magnet programs either claim or enforce morality clauses? Where is the bar of tolerance today? How is it that youngsters were aware of her background, anyway?

Pope Francis is the Catholic Church’s Obama – God help us
FOX’s reviewer of video games makes an editorial slam against the Pope? Did someone just wake up to the fact that Catholicism is not a pawn of the Republican party? Shaw protests too much. The Pope does not do things simply to be liked or for political gain. He wants to save souls. The Church’s values will not be compromised. However, the love of Christ will always render a preferential option for the poor. The proclamation of the Gospel is given its efficacy, not by a callous dogmatism, but by a disposition of charity and humble submission to the Holy Spirit in imitation of Christ’s mercy, compassion and healing.
