Is this for real? Transgendered surgery is, under moral analysis, a mutilation fobidden by moral (q.v., DMT 805) and canon (1983 CIC 1397) law.
“We regret any confusion that may have come from this situation. We want this patient and her physician to know that they are welcome at Seton Medical Center.”
I'm sure Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton regrets having this hospital named for her.
"... The CBS 5 News station characterized the statement as a “veiled apology.” It said, “transgender Charlene Hastings has claimed moral victory against Catholics.” "
Charlene has gained a Legal victory, NOT a moral one. If you want to off your physical manhood, then go ahead: just stay away from our Church, dammit!
"Hasting’s attorney, Chris Dolan, said that a lawsuit seeking monetary damages would proceed."
Nice. This clearly is a calculated attampt to undermind the Faith. This jerk could've offed his manhood at any old hospital, but he choose a Catholic one in order to make a point. He had the freedom to off his manhood, but not to violate the religious liberty of Catholic doctors. It isn't enough he terrorized the hospital staff into forsaking their convictions. Now He wants to be paid for not getting his manhodd offed soon enough to his liking. Un-Bull-Evil-Bull.
"“Like any good religious experience, first you need enlightenment and then you need atonement,” said Dolan. “And what we have here perhaps is a glimpse of enlightenment. Has it changed their heart? I don’t think so. Will it change their practice? It better.” "
First, he mocks the church (Nothing like finding a like-minded, know-nothing lawyer who hates the Catholic faith to sue for ya). Secondly, He presumes to change the faith practice of free Americans who have the constitutional right to the free exercise of their religion.
Unfortunately, the hospital proved doesn't have good old-fashioned cajones and therefore won't counter-sue for the violation of religious liberty. The Gay brown-shorts continue the march against freedom inexorably.
I have just blogged on it: http://www.canonlaw.info/2008/03...sly-

Dreadful. Who can/should we contact?
My archbishop would shut the joint down before he allowed this surgery to take place.
Why does the hospital even employ someone who knows how to perform this procedure??
This is ridiculous! This cannot be
allowed to stand. We all know the slippery slope. What will come next??
L,
I know Seton has a cancer center, so having someone who can do brest reconstruction would be plausable.
Disagree, David. This person gained both a legal and "moral" victory over Seton. Notice how the hospital caved and bought into the Transgender agenda in this sentence:
"We want this patient and HER physician to know that they are welcome at Seton Medical Center.”
Gibbons,
Yes, the hospital allowed this tyrant to gain a 'moral' victory, since he forced them to act hypocritically. However, I was talking about objective morality. In that case, a dude with a 'medically-induced' busom can't claim the moral victory by any stretch of the imagination.
Agree absolutely, David.
