Crisis en la iglesia católica: la discriminación

Ayer, el diario The Gazette de Montreal publicó que el Arzobispado se ha metido en problemas, al afirmar que busca hacer prueba de VIH a los jovenes que deseen estudiar en el Seminario, y eso por razones de salud... sin embargo, este tipo de examenes están prohíbidos por la ley, dice la comisión de derechos humanos de Quebec. Ahora la iglesia se ha metido en otra tormenta que le quitará aún más crediblidad...

"In defending the Roman Catholic Church's decision to require HIV tests of applicants to the seminary, Cardinal Jean-Claude Turcotte may have inadvertently made its case worse with the Quebec human-rights commission.

A commission spokesperson said the church may, indeed, be contravening Quebec's Charter of Human Rights and Freedoms if the only purpose for asking for the test is to check the person's state of health, and has nothing to do with trying to determine his sexual orientation.

That's what Turcotte, archbishop of Montreal, suggested at a news conference Monday.

"This is making it even worse," commission spokesperson Ginette L'Heureux said. "They'd be better to say it was for religious reasons."

¿Qué diría Jesús si viera todo ésto?
