Those crazy clerics and their crazy hats. The things they get ruffled about, and the things they don’t. Apparently, they’re not going to give this contraception-coverage thing a rest. Here’s Washington’s Catholic archbishop shocked all to pieces because the head of Georgetown University has asked Kathleen Sebelius to be among the commencement speakers.

You're kidding me, right?
Whatever. It’s their religion. But I won’t be the first or last to point out that the church was a quite bit more circumspect on the issue of priests buggering boys, which to a lot of laypeople was pretty shocking too. A bit more so than anything to do with birth control. Cheap shot? Sure. But when an institution lets an issue like felony sex abuse slide for a couple of decades, any moral authority it tries to assert immediately afterward isn’t very convincing. In fact, it’s laughable.
Not to mention the idea of telling a top-tier university that it shouldn’t engage speakers who hold divergent views. Kathleen Sebelius: godless bomb-thrower. Have any atheists ever spoken at Georgetown? Any Presbyterians? When you start vetting speakers based on how their personal beliefs diverge from those in Rome, eventually you’ll narrow the field to those guys in the crazy hats.
well said.
None of the Catholics and evangelicals seem to understand that their institution is not paying for the contraceptive coverage selected by some (not all) of the participants in that plan. So tired of their misplaced outrage.
Isn’t it time that we all start demanding real reasons for supposedly “moral” opinions? “My holy book says so” should no longer be an acceptable argument in any circumstances.
BTW, I think the party line on molestation and contraception is something like, “Molesting kids is just an individual human failure, but contraception is against God’s law.” That’s why it’s so very much more important.
Ah. Thanks for clarifying that.
