Empire State Building management recently denied requests to have blue and white lights displayed in honor of Mother Teresa’s 100th birthday , and their decisionn is getting support from an unlikely group………… fellow “Catholics”.
On the eve of Thursday's rally to protest that decision, the management company got some support from an unlikely source – a coalition of groups representing "progressive Catholics" who have come out on the side of the building's owner, Anthony Malkin of Malkin Properties.
Catholics for Choice and several other liberal lay Catholic organizations endorsed a letter to Malkin supporting his decision and blasting The Catholic League's president, Bill Donohue, for mounting what they said was a "self-promotion campaign" in organizing the rally.
Donohue "is doing the opposite of what Mother Teresa ... would have wanted him to do," said David Nolan, director of communications for Catholics for Choice, a Washington-based group that "supports a woman’s moral and legal right to follow her conscience in matters of sexuality and reproductive health," according to its website.
Do they have a point? Do they really have faith? Or are they finding excuses not to be strong in the faith?

"Catholics for a Free Choice" do not have a point and are doing what they accuse the Catholic League of doing--- self-promotion. They don't need to come out against putting up something to honor Mother Teresa, since it's obvious how much they don't agree with her in morals like the right to life. :(
