Really, that was an unecessary comment. You can throw stones at anyones Clergy.
Please be charitable.
The crux of the article is a particular "denomination" in this case being Catholic, standing up for it's beliefs.
I am a Catholic working for a Protestant organization that had to sign a morality clause that if I violate I'm out on my ear.
Assuming that the mother too is Catholic, which the article doesn't state, I think it's a shame.
