Holy Hypocrisy!


The conservative Catholic hierarchy -- aided and abetted by the Rethug outrage machine -- is raging against the Obama Administration's initiative to insure that employees of Catholic universities and hospitals have access to birth control as part of their health care packages. Now we see that some Catholic universities -- including DePaul, Georgetown and Fordham -- already include birth control in their health benefit packages. This is in addition to the 28 States that also have such provisions for Catholic institutions in their States. Keep in mind that employees of Catholic institutions are of different faiths, too, not just Catholic.

One would have hoped that the various Bishops and Cardinals, morally outraged against something that 98% of Catholic women practice, would have been as proactive in halting their despicable role in shuffling pedophile priests around from parish to parish for decades. Odd how when it comes to men in the Church, different rules apply.
