In 1994, then-Archbishop of Portland William Levada offered a simple answer
for why the archdiocese shouldn't have been ordered to pay the costs of raising
a child fathered by a church worker at a Portland, Ore., parish. In her
relationship with Arturo Uribe, then a seminarian and now a Whittier priest, the
child's mother had engaged "in unprotected intercourse … when [she] should have
known that could result in pregnancy," the church maintained in its answer to
the lawsuit.
Kind of a bummer when common sense gets in the way of dogma.
[Thanks to Julie for the heads-up on this one]
