The CBS story is marginally better: <a href="http://sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com/2015/03/18/homeless-saint-marys-cathedral-archdiocese-san-francisco-intentionally-drenched-water-sleeping/" rel="nofollow">http:&#x2F;&#x2F;sanfrancisco.cbslocal.com&#x2F;2015&#x2F;03&#x2F;18&#x2F;homeless-saint-m...</a><p>The mind boggles, though. It&#x27;s not just against doctrine. (It is against Catholic doctrine. Slam-dunkingly so. If you put a question about it on a religious education test, it would be the easiest question in 2000 years. If you polled Catholic theologians, you would <i>literally</i> find more support for atheism than for this decision.)<p>It&#x27;s also -- and this is the part which honestly confuses me -- strikingly out of character for the politics of the people that get selected to make purchasing decisions for cathedrals. The institutional Church has a pretty well-known slant on this. It is generally modestly-to-severely left of where doctrine obligates them to be. You&#x27;d expect the ones in <i>San Francisco</i> (of all places!) to be at-or-near the farthest extreme left of political positions on homelessness possible in the United States.<p>How is it blinking <i>possible</i> that someone signed a PO for a system which is not just anathema it&#x27;s the <i>particular, caricatured type of anathema</i> which is associated with one&#x27;s mortal political enemies?

There was a time when churches were considered to be a safe shelter for anyone in need.<p>The story is disgusting, but the Archdiocese spokeperson&#x27;s comment is simply outraging: “We do the best we can, and supporting the dignity of each person, but there is only so much you can do.”<p>I assume he&#x27;s talking about protecting the &quot;dignity&quot; of the wealthier visitors, so they won&#x27;t be disturbed by unpleasant views and odors, right?
