Organist Fired for Selling for Pure Romance

I would like to applaud the priest in this story. It is not easy to do the right thing. People always perceive the actions of the church as discriminatory. The priest did not say this woman had to quite her job selling sex toys. He simply said it was inconsistent with Catholic teaching, and that she would have to choose whether to continue her duties with the Church or Pure Romance, but she could not do both. It was her choice. She exercised her free will, and the Church did not interfere.

The tone of the story is slightly derogatory to the Church and the priest involved. The priest doesn't even condemn all of the products Pure Romance sells. He says some of the products are inconsistent with church teaching, and he's right. He handled it in a very restrained and loving way. Why do people constantly want the Church to bend to their ideas? One of the things that is great about the Catholic Church is the consistency of the teachings. I can understand acting out of ignorance, and sinning because of the human condition. However, once you are aware of the teaching, to act willfully and consistently in opposition to it is to choose not to be Catholic.

That's up to the individual, but don't ask the Church to change teaching just so you can remain Catholic and continue sinful behavior.
