Catholic employee suspended over DVD protest
Artist Lucinda Naylor did not think about losing her job when she announced plans to build a protest sculpture using anti-gay marriage DVDs distributed by the Catholic Church. But two days after launching the project, Naylor was suspended from a part-time job she has held for 15 years at Minneapolis' Basilica of St. Mary.

"I suspect suspension is a kind word for termination," Naylor said. "I'll miss the income. But there's times when people need to stand up for what they believe."

Still, she is resolved to remain in the church, fighting for her views.

"I'm as Catholic as the pope," she said. "Why should I have to leave?"

I would say she's more Catholic than the pope. You do have to be a Christian (that is, emulate Christ) to be Catholic, don't you?
