Bishop wants Catholic Family Services Bureau to be more faith-based

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/prince-edward-island/catholic-mental-health-counselling-family-services-1.4139066

--------------------------
The Bishop of the Diocese of Charlottetown wants to put the Catholic back into the Catholic Family Services Bureau.

"Apparently staff has been promoting Catholic Family Services as Catholic in name only, and that it is non-denominational," said Bishop Richard Grecco.

...In May, the bishop sent the board a five-point letter, read at the bureau's annual general meeting, outlining what he'd like to see to ensure the Catholic identity and principles of the organization are maintained.

That includes asking staff to get yearly training and requiring them to sign an agreement to present Catholic teaching on issues including sexuality, marriage, health care and life issues.

--------------------------

How dare they call it a "Catholic" service if they weren't condemning gay marriage and reproductive choice, eh, bishop?
