Catholic priest tells handyman that installing fire alarms at Planned Parenthood is like helping....

out Nazis

In audio flagged at the Friendly Atheist, Father Paul Keller told an unidentified man calling from Nebraska that it would be unethical to do work for the health centers.

“It would be not a good thing to be involved in helping somebody who’s taking a life,” Keller patiently explained. “Think about if you were in Nazi Germany, and you were asked by Hitler to install a fire alarm, or a sprinkler system, in one of the guards’ shacks right next to the ovens that were killing Christians and Jews, and so forth. I don’t think you’d want to even set foot in an internment camp such in that part of the world.”

“Or the Ku Klux Klan,” he continued. “Suppose the Ku Klux Klan asked you to do this similar work in one of their offices, but they are completed devoted to being anti-Catholic and… being totally racist and so forth. So no, you wouldn’t want to do that.”

My Catholic relatives vote GOP for one reason: Abortion. They will not listen to any other arguments. All that matters are fetuses that are growing in others.

Celibates telling women what to do with their bodies.

Their views on morality do not carry weight.

They carry weight with millions of churchgoers on this one issue specifically - probably enough to have tipped the election to President Asshole.
