In the name of god

This time around, the church has done so many things across the globe that I'm going to list them off and add links to the full news article. More to come later...just trying to clear off some of the tabs on my browser.

-Catholic school in Boulder, Colorado (a popular skiing desination) kicks preschooler out of school because the child's parents are lesbians and "live in open disocrd with Catholic teaching".

-Catholic Charities of Washington D.C. will no longer offer health insurance to spouses of new employees. This move coincides with the legalization of same-sex marriage in the District of Columbia, which took effect on March 3rd, and with the announcement that Maryland now recognize gay marriages performed out of state (though, doesn't perform same-sex marriages itself).This decision follows closely with the Catholic Charitie's decision to hand off foster care services to the National Center for Children and Families rather than confront rules that allow gay foster parents. Note, the Catholic Charities have received 22million dollars in funding from the District of Columbia in the past year.

-The Sint-Jan Catholic church in the city of 's-Hertogenbosch (Netherlands) refused communion to an openly gay man. The Netherlands was a the first country to adopt gay marriage (2001). Gay rights activists staged a protest at Mass the following week. In preparation, the church decided not to give anyone communion that day.

-I actually this piece of news months ago, but it recently resurfaced and spread rapidly. A Ugandan pastor has been showing gay porn during sermons in an anti-gay campaign. I'm not sure how he got the porn, but I definitely think he's going to get unexpected results. Church attendance by sinful homosexuals has probably been on the rise. Additionally, I suspect the latent homosexual tendencies of church go'ers are now getting a little stimulation from Sunday congregation.
