Catholic Church Sinks To New Low

I don't know how I missed this. But apparently Catholic leaders in Canada are angry that the country won't adapt its own religious precepts as the law of the land and keep gays and lesbians as second class citizens. So what do they do? Threaten to refuse to baptize babies with gay and lesbian parents. That's right, Cardinal Quellet promises to deny baptism to an innocent baby because he thinks the parents are evil. The Advocate has an impassioned essay on this. As the writer puts it, the children of murderers can be baptized. The children of rapists can be baptized. The children of child molesters can be baptized. But the children of gays and lesbians? No. After Cardinal Quellet has read that essay, he might want to reflect on this passage:

"The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him."
-- Ezekiel 18:20 (KJV)
