Matthew 25:40 "And the King shall answer and say unto them, 'Verily I say unto you, inasmuch as ye have done it unto the least of these my bretheren, ye have done it unto me.'"

Catholic Charities of Washington, D.C. has completely jumped the shark. The Washington Post reported on Monday on a letter sent from Catholic Charities President and CEO to its staff regarding some changes as a result of D.C.'s marriage equality law going into effect this week.


Dear Staff,
I am writing to you to inform you of an important change to our group health care benefit plan that will take effect on March 2, 2010 due to a change in the law of the District of Columbia. It is important to note that the existing health coverage of current employees will not be affected by the change. New employees and current employees requesting revisions in benefit coverage will be affected by this change...

We sincerely regret that we have to make this change, but it is necessary to allow Catholic Charities to continue to provide essential services to the clients we serve in partnership with the District of Columbia while remaining consistent with the tenets of our religious faith.


Translation: The homos can get married starting this week, we still hate them, and in order to avoid providing them healthcare coverage if they work for us, we're not going to provide health benefits to spouses at all anymore. Those of you not already enrolled, tough s**t.

Now lets be blunt here. The Catholic Church has been tarnished by a child sex scandal that is literally the worst ever. We repeatedly hear that if we just give up the word marriage these bigots will be happy. But do you seriously think they would willingly insure domestic partners instead? It is the benefit and rights they don't want us to have.

1. Rec'd for outrage. This is wrong on so many levels. I can only

hope employees affected get outraged.

And you're right, the bigotry and hypocrisy are stunning.

2. I was raised catholic, went through a catholic high school despite my pleas to go elsewhere.

I have less than no use for them at all now. I'd like to see the catholic church end its tyranny in the US and go back to Europe permanently.

3. The Catholic Church Is An Evil Cult

No different from Mormonism or Scientology, or any other organized religion.
