Fresh from dodging their own problems with Canadian Human Rights Commissions, Catholic Insight discusses the case of Christian Horizons, an "Evangelical Christian Ministry that provides care and residential services to...developmentally disabled individuals" , who recently got nailed by the Ontario Human Rights Commission for terminating an employee a Lesbian employee:
The OHRC’s Jewish adjudicator, Michael Gottheil, referred often in his ruling to the principle of “balancing competing rights,” but he decided that CH had no religious rights because it was not involved in just serving the interests of its Evangelical religious adherents.
What, one might well ask, does Mr. Gottheil's Jewishness have to do with his ruling? And how, one might also ask, did the staff at CI determine said Jewishness? I have been unable to locate material on the Net where Mr. Gottheil owns up to any religious/racial affiliations. Perhaps the lads at CI can just sense Semitic blood. Some people, apparently, can.
H/T to RB.
Seems like the press release has been changed:
ReplyDelete"The OHRC’s anti-Christian atheist adjudicator, Michael Gottheil, referred often in his ruling to the principle of “balancing competing rights,” but he decided that CH had no religious rights because it was not involved in just serving the interests of its Evangelical religious adherents. “The primary object and mission of Christian Horizons is to provide care and support for individuals who have developmental disabilities, without regard to their creed,” he wrote. “Christian Horizons is not a religious institution whose purpose is to ‘form the hearts and minds’ of its residents in the ways of faith of the organization.”
Seems like the press release has been changed:
ReplyDeleteGod, they're so stinky and smelly with their low-class dodges...
Although, as any "good" Catholic knows, Jew=anti-Christian atheist.
Thanks for pointing that out sue. The gang at CI probably realized their government stamps were being put at risk.
ReplyDeleteI noticed even Jay Currie admonished them. Will wonders ever cease? Menawhile we all now know the stuff that CI is made of despite their sleazy attempt to grease over their anti-Semitism.

ReplyDeleteThat's only because it featured the J-word. Currie wouldn't even have noticed any other gratuitous ethnic reference.
