    Having known some Catholic lay school teachers, I could wish the list also included support for contraception.

    Hard to imagine that this is NEWS! One would think this should have always been routine. Oh well, I'm glad it is now making a comeback. By "it", of course, I refer to logic, reason and basic fundamental Catholicism!
