Vocal Point-Michelle Rioux

Michelle Rioux wrote an article for dailysignal.com (of the Heritage Foundation) about censorship on Facebook. She describes herself as “a lawyer (newly minted and not currently practicing) and lifelong Catholic.” Her article is called “Facebook Suspended Me for Sharing My Religious Beliefs About Homosexuality.” She notes, “The subject of my posts had been the third section of the Catholic Church’s Pastoral Care of Homosexual Persons, which reaffirms the teaching that homosexuality is an ‘objective disorder’….Maybe there’s a method to Facebook’s madness that excuses it from my complaint about arbitrary decision-making. But there is no doubt whatsoever that this action constitutes censorship.” The gist of the story is that by quoting official teaching of her church that wasn’t pro-homosexual, Facebook censored her post. Michelle Rioux joins Jerry Newcombe on Vocal Point to discuss this incident. www.dailysignal.com
