Funny, eh?

A Franciscan priest well known for promoting all kinds of things that the RC Church has clearly said are out of bounds has been forbidden from teaching at a Catholic teachers conference in Canada.

Duh.

A writer in the Toronto Star has this humorous take:

“It’s not uncommon for Catholic clergy, laypeople and theologians to be denied platforms in Catholic institutions if their ideas do not conform to prescribed teaching — a practice some see as being at odds with societal values of free speech and open dialogue,” wrote journalist Leslie Scrivener.
Ah, yes. Free speech and open dialogue. In Canada. Where political correctness and multicultural piety is the government-enforced secular religion. Where the Supreme Court has recently decided --unamimously-- that just because something is true does not protect it from being prosecuted as hate speech.
