From The Charlotte Observer comes a report that a Catholic group has a problem with two bloggers hired by John Edwards over some comments that the two had posted elsewhere.
President of the Catholic League for Religious and Civil Rights, Bill Donohue, has demanded that Edwards fire both Amanda Marcotte and Melissa McEwan.
Donohue is pissed at some comments that the women made about the pope and the church for its opposing homosexuality, abortion and contraception.
In an excerpt cited by Donohue, Marcotte wrote, "The Catholic church is not about to let something like compassion for girls get in the way of using the state as an instrument to force women to bear more tithing Catholics."
Among the McEwan posts Donohue listed was one in which she questioned what religious conservatives don't understand about "keeping your noses out of our britches, our beds and our families?" -- Associated Press
So what's the problem here? Is opinion no longer allowed in this country against the Catholic church or any others for that matter? Last that I heard, President Bush hadn't taken that away from us yet. Not all of it.
Amanda Marcotte is right telling the church to stay the hell out of family and bedroom business and John Edwards would do well to keep these two women on staff.
