Pope Mum on Banning Autistic Parishioners
, 05 27th, 2008
In the latest autism news regarding religion, Pope Benedict XVI has been asked on what the church will do about parishioners who are autistic after a Catholic church in Minnesota filed a restraining order against a 13 year old autistic boy.
The local sheriff threatened to arrest the boy and his mother if they had attempted to enter the church. The church’s priest filed the order of protection “for the safety of those at the church.”
Now people are calling on the Pope to provide guidelines on how to reach out to Catholics who suffer from autism or provide care to those who do.
