Six Million Dollar Relativism.

Here’s a funny item from this morning’s file review on the Town and Boston Archdiocese’s St. Aidan’s project.
During a hearing before one of the many committee’s studying the project, lawyers for the Archdiocese - along with the pastor at St. Mary’s - argued vehemently that the Church should not be preserved simply because John F. Kennedy was the nation’s first Catholic president.
Kennedy was a blip on the continuum of Catholicity and government has no right to build a shrine to him, went their argument. So adamant were points made by those in the cloth, that the note-taker used exclamation marks after references to the “separation between church and state.”
Gee, I don’t hear them objecting to our $6 million in public subsidies for the project. Hypocrisy is just so “in” these days.
