If Catholic institutions are going to fire gay employees for being gay or for getting married in a civil court, which according to those doing the firing amounts to "scandal," then the church should at least acknowledge the fact that many, many heterosexual employees are able to "pass" when it comes to their under-the-radar use of contraception. I know a few people who work for the Catholic Church in my area who have admitted to me that they lied on the form they signed agreeing to abide by the church's moral standards. But of course these people are able to keep their jobs, unlike their gay colleagues who cannot "pass." This discrepancy is the real scandal, if you ask me, and to this day the church refuses to acknowledge it. Then there are those straight people who have gotten divorced. Back in the day that was considered a scandal. Not anymore. When was the last time a straight church employee got fired for the "scandal" of being divorced?
