he's the Archbishop and he has the right to dictate teachings that come from the Vatican. Its not a democracy, its a religion. Religions are made up of regulations, restrictions, and procedures that must be followed, if they are not followed correctly then you haven't done it right and you can't be part of that religion. That's the way it works, its not the practice of law, its the practice of obedience and self-sacrifice. I consider myself to be a Jeffersonian Democrat and a Paulist Catholic, I am a firm believer in the Separation of Church and State because I don't want the State telling my Church what it can and can't do and vice versa. Yet, it is beginning to happen. So the only tension that exists in this case is on the part of those that want the freedom to do what they want and still call themselves Catholic or work for a Catholic School. Its like smokers claiming that they have to right to smoke, well, actually there is no right to smoke anywhere in the Constitution and if you're f*cking with my health through second-hand smoke, you are the one, who is SOL.
