    Homeless Held Hostage by Catholic Church in D.C. Fight for Gay Marriage

    My first reaction to the news was exactly like yours, but I found the rest of the story... . It appears that the Catholic Church's actual concern is that by continuing to accept DC funds it will be forced to provide services which go against its teachings and principles.  BUT, if it withodraws from City funding, it intends tol continue providing the same social services with its own funds and would seek to replace DC's funding from other sources. So, true, it's not a model of social tolerance, but neither is it the iron-fisted blackmail it first seemed.
