One Church and Two Messages

Most people agree that Pope Francis has been a breadth of fresh air for the Catholic Church. He has and continues to inspire millions of people around the planet with a message that the status quo is not acceptable and that the main role of the Church should be to serve those in need. He has also generally demonstrated more openness when it comes to being gay in the Church.

Then we have the Archbishop of Miami. From the ThinkProgress blog we find this article, Archbishop Of Miami Threatens To Fire Employees Who Support Marriage Equality.

From the article in ThinkProgress:

On Tuesday, the Archbishop of Miami, Thomas Wenski, sent a letter to his employees lamenting the arrival of marriage equality to the state and warning staff members that they could lose their jobs if they post anything to social media to express support for same-sex marriage.

“Whatever the role in which you serve within the Archdiocese, you publicly represent the Catholic Church and the Archdiocese in everything you do and say,” the letter read, according to NBC 6. “Therefore, it is important that you understand the Church’s position and are well informed.”

So we have an all seeing and all knowing Church.
