This is different from firing employees who smoke in their own homes on their own time in that Ms. Bain deserved to be fired (at the very least) by any employer much less an allegedly "Catholic" girls' high school for participating as a deathscort at an abortion mill in facilitating the slicing, dicing and hamburgerization of innocent unborn babies. If she had been photographed facilitating the slicing, dicing and hamburgerization of, say, her husband or wife as the case may be or that pesky next-door neighbor, she would deserve at least to be fired as well. Whatever the SCOTUS may say while fantasizing about non-existent constitutional provisions and "rights," Bain is active in facilitating homicide and not fit to set foot on a Catholic girls' school campus. Consider her firing as her only true "teaching moment."

Now, let Bishop Wiegand fire those nuns who hired her in the first place not only as executives at the school but also laicize their rebellious backsides. Another "teaching" moment. Use the full weight of Canonical Law to strip them of the property, excommunicate them and hire actual Catholics (what a concept!!!) to run the place. Liberal parents who object can, at the very least, be required to find a new school for sniffly ill-educated daughters just OUTRAGED!!!!! at the unfairness of terminating the employment of the homocidal and of maintaining a Catholic Church that behaves as it believes (lex agendi, lex credendi???)

People who smoke cigarettes (as, thank God, I no longer do) in their own homes and on their own time kill no one but themselves whatever junk "scientists" may fantasize.

THAT'S the difference.

Several centuries ago, we had a system that was better. Ashes, however impudent, filed no complaints. In some sense, the guilty would have smoked, but they would not have filed any post-execution complaints.

Fr. Tomas, pray for us and for the restoration of Christendom, our civilization!
