Some St. Louis Catholics are suing the city over an ordinance that protects women against workplace discrimination based on whether they’ve had an abortion, used contraceptives or are pregnant.

This law is a very grave threat to Catholic institutions and Catholic-run organizations, as a lawyer opposing this bill warned. She “said the law prevents the archdiocese from hiring only teachers who support Catholic teachings on abortion. Pitlyk also said there’s no exception for faith-based “crisis pregnancy centers” such as Our Lady’s Inn, and no provision for private companies led by devout Catholics”…

Archbishop Carlson of St. Louis said the archdiocese and its affiliates, including the schools, will not comply with what he called a “vile bill.”

Archbishop Carlson of St. Louis said the archdiocese and its affiliates, including the schools, will not comply with what he called a “vile bill.”

That has to be done much more often. It’s the Catholic version of “People Power”. As long as the Archdiocese remains united, the “authorities” can’t crush it. Henry VIII is long gone.
If other bishops would give moral support, it’d be even better.

i hope the Archbishop sticks to his guns.
