Dear Editor: Beware The Sinister Catholic School System (The UN Says So)

[The Expositor] The UN has twice ruled that Canada is in violation of various human rights instruments by virtue of the discriminatory nature of Ontario’s Catholic school system. A third ruling is expected to come down this fall which will surely designate Canada as a human rights abuser again. The very existence of the Catholic school system as it stands today is in violation of international law.

Faith Is Fine, Just Don’t Believe It

Douglas Farrow, in The Gazette:

Recently, the bishop of Lancaster, Patrick O’Donoghue, was interrogated by the government’s Children, Schools and Families Select Committee about his directive to diocesan schools to teach the Catholic faith and Catholic morals to their students.   That directive, according to the committee chair, Barry Sheerman, smacked of a “fundamentalism” unacceptable to the British government.  “It seems to me that faith education works all right as long as people are not that serious about their faith,” Sheerman said. “But as soon as there is a more doctrinaire attitude questions have to be asked.”

The rest.

When Human Rights Collide

Coren is on board with DWE’s theory: when sex and religion meet, guess who wins?

In California the Salvation Army was forced to close down several inner city missions because officials refused to sign a document approving of homosexuality. The destitute suffered terribly as a consequence. In Britain the Roman Catholic church similarly was obliged to shut the doors of its adoption agency.

This is not about justice, equality or discrimination. It is about crude bullying and triumphalism. The campaign stopped being about tolerance a long time ago and now is about penalizing anyone who will not embrace a particular social and sexual agenda. It’s enough to drive you to drink — unless you’ve signed the morality clause!

The rest.
