Consider how egregious and disgusting that is. It& #39;s bad enough to refuse to employ single parents, but to punish their children, too?
And, of course, this was also targeted at the children of same-sex parents. Just vile all around.
My family is (or was) Catholic on my mother& #39;s side. Both her parents were devout. When her father divorced her mother & refused to pay child support, leaving my grandma a single mother of five in the 1950s, the kids got kicked out of Catholic school for having divorced parents.
Being divorced in the & #39;50s was ostracizing enough. But having their religious community shun them was an added unnecessary trauma. (The Church, btw, allowed my very devout grandfather to annul a decade-long marriage that produced five kids so he could remarry as a Catholic).
