SSM Hospital: Right Thing, Too Late

News from Madistan:

One of Wisconsin’s larger health care systems has ended sex reassignment surgeries for adults and children following a directive from the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Liberal lawmakers blasted the decision, first reported by Channel 3000 in Madison, as “misguided and dangerous,” while a conservative lawmakers who have championed bills prohibiting the “mutilation” of children called SSM’s change in protocol a “brave” decision....

SSM is a Catholic hospital chain, which brings up this question:

 Why in Hell they were doing such mutilations in the first place?

...The Catholic health system’s decision to end sex change surgeries comes after U.S. bishops voted in June to revise their document offering guidance to Catholic health care institutions. The document, obtained by the Catholic News Agency, is titled “Ethical and Religious Directives for Catholic Health Care Services. It states, “Catholic health care services must not perform interventions, whether surgical or chemical, that aim to transform the sexual characteristics of a human body into those of the opposite sex or take part in the development of such procedures.”...

The usual psychotics in Madison attacked the hospital for dropping the butchery.  You can read about that at the link. 

We are pleased that the hospital followed the directive of the Bishops.

But does it take a directive from the Bishops for Catholic hospital administrators to figure out Genesis 5.2?  

Really?
