In reply to the discussion: Catholic School To Pregnant Teacher: We Won't Fire You If You Get Married [View all]JayhawkSD
(3,163 posts)30. You weren't an employee.
Why is it that we think we can condemn and regulate how others practice what they believe?
If someone treated us that way we would be outraged.
If someone told us, "You can't conduct your primary elections that way." we would be outraged.
If someone said, "You have to include only certain people in your debates," we would want to kill the bastard.
And yet we feel perfectly free to tell a group "Your religion is wrong, and you can't conduct your business in accordance with your religious beliefs."
Sure religion is a personal choice. If you aren't a Catholic, don't apply to work for a Catholic company. A great many Catholics find great comfort in working for Catholic companies. Would you deny them that opportunity?

I guess that might be why the Priests are so attracted to boys? Don't have to worry about birth

I also think any person should have the right to practice their religion but IMO that does not

Should Priests be fired when they engage sexual activities? That doesn't happen?

After many decades of moving pederast priests around instead of firing them.
