Ah, it's just the Catholic Church discriminating against a woman for primitive reasons. Nothing special.
Quote:New Jersey Catholic school teacher put on paid leave because she's a gestational surrogate
Bonilla was told to stay home after being placed on paid administrative leave 10 days ago because she's a gestational surrogate, now 25 weeks along in her pregnancy.
"They pulled me into the office, and the diocese said that I was possibly in violation of my contract, so I would be placed on administrative leave until further notice while they investigate. So far, I haven't heard anything back yet," she said.
CBS News Philadelphia asked to see her contract, but she said she can't access it because her school account was deactivated while she was on leave. Since news of her situation has spread, parents haven't stopped reaching out to her.
One message read, "If they're so uncomfortable having you work at the school as a surrogate, then they should be uncomfortable about taking tuition from anyone who has used a surrogate or had IVF, like myself."
According to the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops, "Pope Francis strongly condemned the practice of surrogacy calling it 'a grave violation of the dignity of the woman and the child.'"

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
