Smokey, many employers give some severance pay to terminated employees, even if they were terminated for misconduct. It gives the employee something to keep going while looking for another job. Would it be better for a fired priest to go on the dole and be supported by the taxpayers?

mg, the things I mentioned like birth control, are examples to illustrate my usual position as a frequent and outspoken critic of the Catholic Church. I lost a job because of that, so it's unfair to brand me as some sort of mindless supporter of all aspects of the Catholic Church. I call myself part of the "loyal opposition."
