Justice for All

You may have noticed that we don't have a very favorable opinion of organized religions. The reasons have been highlighted in this blog from one outrageous event to another. Those who believe they have some sort of god-given authority are usually at the forefront of scandalous behavior.

Take Bishop Thomas J. Paprocki, pictured above, with the faux halo behind him. Please. He is the Big Cheese of the Diocese of Springfield, Illinois. The bishop believes that it is better not to help children in need than to allow them to be adopted and/or placed with gay foster parents.

It's always been our opinion that all children deserve to be wanted. Perhaps those given up for adoption or abandoned in the first place were failed the first time, but to abandon them for a second is not forgivable.

Catholic Charities wants to be able to discriminate against gays and lesbian couples who would like to provide homes to children who need them and yet they still want to take the state government's cash. So, because that is not permissible nor should it be, they are closing their doors.

The bigots who find their home in organized religion can discriminate as they want but not when taxpayers are footing the bill for their self-righteous discriminatory tactics.

Some may see that as a kick in the cassock. We see it as justice.
