New York Medical College, in Westchester County just north of New York City, has banned a group for lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender students on campus.

NYMC is a a private Catholic college affiliated with the Archdiocese of New York.

At the beginning of this academic year, the LGBT student group, previously called the “Student Help” organization, changed its name to the “NYMC Lesbian Gay Bisexual and Transgender People in Medicine.”

The new name, the students said, is consistent with many other “LGBTPM” groups associated with the American Medical Students Association, which itself has a national LGBT People in Medicine caucus.

1. hmmm . . . these the same Catholics who have been . . .

moving boy-molesting priests from parish to parich for years and allowing them to continue their ministries? . . . the same Catholics who have paid out so many billions in damages that some dioceses have had to sell church properties, while others have gone bankrupt? . . . same guys? . . .

used to be one myself, but no longer . . . and please don't call me a "lapsed" Catholic . . . there was no lapse involved; it was a fully reasoned and conscious decision on my part . . .

3. Lemme get this *straight* (pardon the pun) . . .

Lemme get this *straight* (pardon the pun) . . .

This is an institution -- the Roman Catholic Church -- all across the planet which has for generations and generations been molesting young children and children-not-so-young. In addition, this practice has been knowingly and intentionally approved by this institution, for it knowingly and intentionally passed these sexual molesting priests within the Church, parish to parish to parish to parish thereby setting-up further molestation of children.

Repeat, knowingly and intentionally did this.

It has failed for these many generations (is it centuries?) to do the one thing that it is charged to do; that is, to protect the very children with whom it is charged to protect from harm when parents and others have left the care of their children in the Church.

And the Roman Catholic Church, who has perp'd these heinous wrongdoings, has the unmitigating gall to discriminate against human beings solely on the basis of their sexual orientation? Not only that but to blatantly and openly defame people due to their sexual orientation? To instill fear into the heart of people due to sexual orientation?

Is this some form of attempted deflection away from their own immorality? decadent and degenerative behavior? their own illegalities? their own criminality?

The spin and twists that the Roman Catholic Church perpetrates in the "name of God" is by itself immoral, and remains so for centuries. This is merely one more of those twists.
