Just when you thought Catholicism couldn't possibly discredit itself more...

...ABC news puts out a story on how a Catholic school teacher is fired for having twins out of in-vitro fertilization.

You would think that perhaps, after all those child molestation issues the Catholic Church has been having (and hiding as the case may be) that has Catholics fleeing in droves, they might want to keep a low profile. You know, maybe NOT be quite so judgemental when it comes to things involving children and procreation. But no, they simply cannot help themselves, and consequently have vapid spokemen say things like;

"It's not so much that it's artificial that's the problem, instead it's removing the sexual act and procreative act from the context of marriage".

I would absolutely LOVE to hear what his views on adoption are. Because last time I checked, that didn't involve sex for "procreation" either. The church cannot make up it's mind. "Children are precious, oh wait, only if you have sex to get them, which is also something dirty and forbidden and evil, but you have to if you want to have kids and not be excommunicated or fired."

This also comes at a time when Catholic attendance at mass is at an all-time low, many Catholic schools are struggling to fill their rosters, and the collection baskets just aren't as heavy as they used to be. Perhaps they wouldnt be having such a problem if they weren't such raging ASSHOLES. As they say, beggars cant be choosers, and at the rate the church is paying settlements to molestation victims, that saying might be quite literal pretty soon. One can only hope anyway.
