Love the Birth, Hate the Birther

In a stunningly unstunning move, a Catholic school moved to dismiss a teach because she was pregnant without benefit of legal- or church-approved-marriage to a penis.

And she's fighting back. Go, soon-to-be-Mom!

I wish it would stop amazing me, already, the sheer audacity of the Papists to talk out their collective anus. Pro-Life? Yeah. Riiiight.

It's another clear-cut example of how they're pro-birth and nothing more. They don't care that they're adversely affecting that yet-to-be-born child's future by firing his/her mom. They don't care about the mom, clearly, leaving her to be jobless and a future single-parent.

They care about appearances. They care about their dogma. They care about punishing those who don't fit into their own myopic and narrow view of how Life Should Be.

So the NYCLU and others step in to support the woman. Supposedly, the pre-marital and extra-marital sex behavior is the basis for the woman being fired. And hey, the proof is in the pudding—or at least the bun in the oven—right?

Trouble is, where's some similar proof for men? How do you detect if your male teachers are having sex outside of marriage or without benefit of the marriage bed or are even—dare I say it—masturbating?

Well, you can't. That's the problem. And isn't it funny that the Catholics don't seem to much care if straight men are doing any of those things, and yet women and gay men are under scrutiny?

Yes, gay men. The Catholics are also screening seminarian candidates for homosexual activity or—whatever this means—“strong support of gay culture”. I guess they just don't have much faith in the power of god's forgiveness via the Confessional.

I know that bureaucracy and P.R. long ago overshadowed the sacramental, but do they actually believe that can so blatantly parade the fact and not have anyone question it?

Watch out for more sloppy linguistic gyrations from the Papists as they try to defend themselves and continue to sacrifice the greater ethic for their own worldly gains.

Running your page through the validator from time to time would catch, among other things, the fact that nearly the entire page has been italicized for a week.

I'm sure they'd readmit her if she just wore the proper scarlet 'A' at all times, and flagellated herself in front of the students to demonstrate her repentance.

Oh, and had the children refer to her as "Miss Whore."

Thanks for the heads-up, Joe, though I suppose you could have given it without the potshot.

The page hasn't had that problem when viewed in Safari.

Wow. They were right. You really don't have a clue.

Wow...Eastern Washington is LOUSY with freaks, huh?

Welcome, "ClueBatPatrol@gmail.com"!

Wow. It's not getting any better. You respond to the comments of 13 year olds, on top of spouting this craziness? And of course, you publish my email out of the goodness of your heart. . .


or is it to make sure it gets filled up with the same kind of goofiness I am finding here?

What is up with Eastern WA? I live in the DSRS (Democratic Socialist Republic of Seattle).

you tell me what's up with Eastern WA. I get a LOT of hits from a bunch of eastern WA towns, not coincidentally where the hoodycrite is from, along with his brood of martinets.

Now...CluePatrol, are you going to answer my email or not?

Wow...Eastern Washington is LOUSY with freaks, huh?

This is coming from a nerdy gay programmer guy in SF who has some sort of unexplainable psychological obsession with trying to proving the Catholic Church wrong. You need some major therapy, my man.

*prove, not proving...my bad.

Hmmm...a world-wide organization with 700M or so slavish-followers, with a giant xenophobic chip on its shoulder.

It's not obsession, little man. It's trying to make the world a bit better.

And let's not mince words here. I know what it's like to be Catholic. You have no idea what it's like to be gay (at least I don't think you do) nor do you have any idea what it's like to be an adult.

Now tell ME why a bunch of 13yr olds have taken it upon themselves to obsess on homosexuals, the proper place for sex in one's life, and hating Hillary Clinton?

...this coming from the "Christian Teen Blogging Club"

...and you're constantly reading an obviously gay weblog.... I'm thinking GoB isn't gonna be the one needing the therapy, my man.

Jeff -- I agree with you how absurd it is for a church to do things this way. Yet, I just think about the fact that this girl did choose to work at a Catholic School, and is therefore expected to promote those Catholic Beliefs of her Employer and uphold their reputation, etc. etc. So really, she's kind of getting what she deserves. As for the men, I don't know how you fix that :o)

Assuming she has the luxury of choosing where to work, yes, you're right.

But even so, if she *chose* to work at a Catholic school because, gods below, she is a Catholic and wanted to enrich the lives of young Catholics, the fact remains that perhaps the pregnancy was an accident.

And beyond that, even if it were no accident, the ProLifers should be jumping for joy that she didn't go and terminate her pregnancy—sorry, kill her unborn baby—before she started showing just so she could preserve her job.

I guess what they want is to have their cake and eat it to. They want her to keep the baby—fatherless and penniless as it will be—and for her to Hester Prynne her way out of their lives ASAP.

It's heartless. And gutless.

Sounds like the folks in Eastern WA have it together, though I have no idea what you are talking about. "hoodycrite" and martinets, or why you brought it up in the first place.

email?


Oh. Do what you like. Doesn't affect the rotation of the earth one bit.

It's not obsession, little man. It's trying to make the world a bit better.

Yes it is, fat man. How is ranting about the Catholic Church on some unknown blog helping the world? Oh wait, it's not. Silly me.

Now tell ME why a bunch of 13yr olds have taken it upon themselves to obsess on homosexuals, the proper place for sex in one's life, and hating Hillary Clinton?

Man, I'm definitely not obsessed with any of the things you listed. Too be honest, I'm too busy hanging out with friends and playing video games to obsess about that crud. I post on my blog for my own entertainment, and for the occasional entertainment of my friends. I enjoy debating with the sorry tools who take me too seriously. You, on the other hand, have a genuine, burning hatred for the Catholic Church, and any Catholic who firmly believes in it.

You are obsessed.

And let's not mince words here. I know what it's like to be Catholic. You have no idea what it's like to be gay (at least I don't think you do) nor do you have any idea what it's like to be an adult.

Um, Biskits, I never even brought this up. ~???~

I check out this blog around twice a month. I just recently checked and decided to comment. That's all. Frankly, I couldn't care less what goes on here.

Brian, you are lying. Isn't that one of your sins?

You little boys rant about homosexuality all the time. about what sex is for..about Hillary Clinton.

You've even applauded comments that suggest hillary clinton be shot.

Why do you rant about the "Left"? There are a lot more Catholics in the world than liberals in the USA, and yet on and on you go.

Here's a thought. Stay away entirely.

I've stayed away from yours. I can't compete with a bunch of puerile doofuses who are regularly goaded on by their papist parent (well, in the hoody case).

Here's a thought. Stay away entirely.

Sure, Gob. But not until I finish this comment.

Brian, you are lying. Isn't that one of your sins?

No I'm not. It appears to me like you're judging me. Isn't that one of your sins?

Why do you rant about the "Left"? There are a lot more Catholics in the world than liberals in the USA, and yet on and on you go.

Because liberals are doing a splendid job of ruining the country I live in (and Catholics aren't doing enough to stop it). I don't want to get into a discussion about this now, so I'll just leave it at that.

You little boys rant about homosexuality all the time. about what sex is for..about Hillary Clinton.

You keep talking about us "little boys." I'm speaking for myself only, and I think you know that. I can't talk for Joe... or James, but I can talk for myself. Now concerning myself, I haven't posted anything about Hillary Clinton in a long time (and I've only addressed her a couple of times at that). The same for homosexuality.

You've even applauded comments that suggest hillary clinton be shot.

Oh please. You know that the expressional phrase, "He/she should be taken out and shot" is nothing serious. You're doing a horrible job at putting me in a bad light.

There. I have now addressed all of your accusations. Therefore, I shall not return unless there is a very good reason.

Seeyu.
