Another Example of Catholic Bishops' Misogamy


Catholic Bishop Leonard Blair of Toledo has issued an edict that Catholic schools and parishes can no longer raise funds for the Susan G. Komen Foundation, an organization that supports breast cancer research and  breast cancer education. His reason for this bizarre action: the Susan G. Komen Fund "might" someday in the future fund stem cell research. The Bishop admits that Komen does not donate funds to stem cell research but fears that they may in the future. By  extending the Bishop's logic, Catholics should stop raising funds for the American Cancer Society, the Heart Association, the Kidney Foundation, the Prostrate Cancer Research Fund and every other organization that "might some day in the future" donate funds to stem cell research.

But no, the Catholic Bishop of Toledo specifically identifies the Susan G. Komen Fund as the one fund Catholics should not support. This is the one fund that deals directly with breast cancer, which is primarily a women's issue. It does not take a genius to recognize that the same bishop who is also "investigating" Catholic nuns is choosing to single out a fund dedicated to women's health.

And then Catholic Bishops like Blair (Toledo), Schnurr (Cincinnati), and Olmsted (Phoenix) wonder why we view them as misogynists.

One has to wonder:  under what rock did the Vatican find these guys?
