Sunny Days in Heaven Spiritual/Political/Philosophical Blog on the Nature of Truth and Falsehood and Heaven |
Thursday, December 15, 2005 Persecuted for Christ's sake, will the church help? This story from Canada (via Relapsed Catholic) involves a number of issues. A member of the Knights of Columbus who is in charge of renting the fraternity's hall for weddings and other events alleges he was fired from his day job at Costco for his involvement in denying two lesbians the facility for their same-sex "wedding." The human rights case in which the lesbian couple successfully sued the Knights of Columbus over the denial of the hall made international headlines. I am wondering though, apart from the obvious injustices perpetrated against Hauser by vicious people and idiot bureaucrats, where is the Church? Why aren't we reading that his local parish church is doing everything to help support the family financially and in getting him work? Maybe that is happening, but I doubt it. My own experience with Catholic parishes is that that they do very little to help their own members when they have a crisis that is not spiritual but worldly. posted by Mark Butterworth | 10:35 AM | |
