Virginia wombcontrolling Catholic pharmacy tanks because of lack of customers

This is what happens when the Catholic Church overreaches, putting its head in the sand, thinking American Catholics in Chantilly, Va, which has 20K parishioners in the area and four local churches teeming with 30K additional followers of Papa Ratzi: 1) don't use birth control, 2) don't smoke, and 3) don't read porn.
I guess in the wingnut fantasy land led by Gov. Bob McDonnell, anything is possible, no?
DMC Pharmacy, a pro-life Catholic pharmacy that opened with much fanfare in Chantilly, Va., in October 2008, closed last month because of lack of funds.
...By the time the store closed March 4, it was losing in the tens of thousands of dollars per month. When it opened 18 months ago at a cost of $350,000 just as the national economy was in a free fall, the 1,500-square-foot store on Metrotech Drive did not stock birth control pills, condoms, cigarettes or pornographic magazines.
It did have booklets on natural family planning below a picture of St. John Leonardi, the patron saint of pharmacists.
..."You would have thought we could have made it happen," Mr. Laird admitted. "We were a niche. We were set up to cater to those who wanted that type of personal service. Once people came in, it was great. The pharmacist did so much more than dispense drugs."
But most customers only needed occasional medications and DMC never connected, he said, with patients needing the kind of maintenance medications that are the bread and butter for most pharmacies..
The reason for banning birth control pills, naturally, is "on the grounds they caused abortions, lead to promiscuity or endangered a woman's health." Never mind they are also taken for clinical use other than birth control; I didn't see anything in this article that suggested that it didn't dispense Viagra, Cialis or any other drugs of that nature.

Comparing the Pope to Richard Nixon

Thinking back to how the Nixon administration became consumed by the cancer of Watergate and the coverup, the Papa Ratzi criminal pedophile priest protection enterprise shares a bit with Tricky Dick's failed strategy. (The Week):
The pope's media attacks certainly echo Nixon: Reducing pervasive sex abuse and pedophilia to "the problem of an overzealous media" is certainly Nixonian, says Jeff Schweitzer in the Huffington Post, The church's "paranoid insularity" causes it to lash out at the press rather than "acknowlege moral failure" at an institutional level, just as in the 1970s White House. "Nixon would be proud."
"Vatican chooses to prey on rather than pray for children"
...The office of the Pope is not above the law: Just as Nixon believed his office was above the law, says Tom McNichol in the Atlantic, so the Pope relies on his "papal infallability" to avoid dealing with this scandal. But that doctrine only covers "specific matters of dogma," not everything the Pope says or does. If the Church won't admit that, then Benedict could share Nixon's fate - "a long and bitter fight, followed by resignation."

Also, ABC's Brian Ross has an excellent in-depth report on the continuing filthy coverup of pedophile priests, in this case the Father Maciel scandal.
