Extortion – The Catholic Way

Have you had people tell you that religion is good since there is a lot of self less charity work happening in its name? Well, looks like the Catholic Church has just changed the definition of the word self-less because the government does not conform with its stand on homosexuality. 

 

Washington – The Catholic Archdiocese of Washington said Wednesday that it would be unable to continue the social service programs it runs for the District of Columbia if the city refused to change a proposed same-sex marriage law.

The Catholic Church is willing to threaten the lives of tens of thousand of people under its care because the government intends to stop discrimination against gays and lesbians. This nothing less than extortion and to think, these are the same guys who say Jesus is about love and that we should all love each other.

It only goes to show that this age old entity that has abused its power in the past gifting us with such joyous times as the Dark Ages, Inquisitions etc, is willing to do anything to get its way. It is unconcerned about the lives it may destroy.

And they wonder why so many people leave their church! I’d say it’s a no-brainer.
