QuoteA Ft. Wayne jury has awarded a former Catholic school teacher $1.9 million after she was fired for undergoing in vitro fertilization, reports the Journal Gazette.
Emily Herx, a language arts teacher at St. Vincent de Paul Catholic School, was notified by the Ft. Wayne Diocese that her contract for the 2011-12 school year would not be renewed because of her use of in vitro, which the diocese described as a “sin.”

In other words, science=sin. Can't have that now can we?

In vitro is legal, but the hierarchy gets all sanctimonious.
Therefore, she should be fired.
Molesting choir boys is not legal. 
But the church covers that up.

What fucked up priorities.  Does the church even think about things like this, or is it just a bunch of programed Pavlovian responses?
