A little over a week ago, I told you about how Monsignor Hebert of the Catholic Church's Little Rock diocese was trying to get his parishoners to stop helping to fund the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation. He was upset because the Komen Foundation had partnered with Planned Parenthood to give breast exams and educate women about breast cancer.
Ignoring the fact that the Komen Foundation has nothing to do with abortion and has given over $1 billion for cancer research, Hebert heard the words "Planned Parenthood" and evidently lost his mind.
Well, it looks like someone has shaken some sense into the religious idiot. Yesterday, he said he was mistaken, and apologized to the Susan G. Komen for the Cure Foundation. The Komen Foundation has accepted his apology.
I guess the Monsignor's ridiculous stance generated a bit too much heat. I suspect his superiors in the church were not happy about this kind of negative publicity.
