Wheat & Weeds - A Bishop Who Knows How To Bishop

Mentioned this in this week’s potpourri, but I wanted to call attention to the Colorado legislature’s latest blatant anti-Catholic move. (Have Coloradans nothing better to do than harrass Catholics?) This time they’re trying to make it impossible for faith-based institutions to prefer hiring members of their own faith in leadership positions. Archbishop Chaput, God bless him, is having none of it. Speaking of Catholic Charities, he wrote,

Catholic Charities has a long track record of helping people in need from any religious background or none at all. Catholic Charities does not proselytize its clients. That isn’t its purpose. But Catholic Charities has no interest at all in generic do-goodism; on the contrary, it’s an arm of Catholic social ministry. When it can no longer have the freedom it needs to be “Catholic,” it will end its services. This is not idle talk. I am very serious.

Yeah so, speaking of RC2, she’s been downright profuse these past couple of weeks. So hopefully you all won’t have noticed much that I’ve been out of the country, not loading, kicked off my server, switching servers, etc etc, when confronted with all those delightful diversions.

And speaking of Archbishop Chaput in Colorado, is he the guy who, legend has it, was approached by some Planned Parenthood lady looking for “Common Ground” and told her (paraphrasing), “Yeah, no, but you’re welcome to come in for a cuppa” and (paraphrasing) after an afternoon had her converted and on a lecture circuit about the ills of being pro-choice?
