[Mad Dawg]

Just because some in the Catholic Church have ordained homosexuals or because a Bishop has recently authorized Church funds for an abortion does not mean that the Catholic Church condones the actions and neither does it mean that because the PCUSA which once was Calvinistic and condones abortion and homosexuality, Calvinists condone those actions.

Σοφια! Προσκωμεν!

However, if you're thinking of The Bishop of Richmond, he did NOT authorize the use of Church funds and even Catholic Charities money was not used. According to what I'm hearing from the diocese the scandal was that it was a Catholic Charities Volunteer who had provided artificial birth control for the individual AND who organized the abortion, fraudulently signed the consent form, posing as a parent of the young woman. And it's not clear where the money came from, but they're saying it was not Catholic Charities money (so, much less was it Diocesan money.)

Another unclear thing is whether Catholic Charities answers to the local "Ordinary" or to the US College of Catholic Bishops. I'm waiting for clarification on that.

My suspicion is that (a)DiLorenzo is pretty good and (b) he is WAY better than his predecessor.

Man alive. If you can't trust the MSM to give you accurate news, who can you trust! I'm almost tempted to cancel my newspaper subscription, but I’d have to have one first. I got it. I won't read my colleague's paper any more.
