Apparently Planned Parenthood gives off some sort of persistent contaminating miasma, or bad vibes or something. At any rate, they exude such a powerful pro-choice aura that anti-choice Catholics not only must shun their presence but even locations where Planned Parenthood members have once gathered.

The Catholic Diocese of Phoenix has barred a mass at a private events center that was recently rented out for a Planned Parenthood event. . . .

The Reverend David Sanfilippo calls Planned Parenthood “one of the largest abortion providers in the nation.” He said it would be inappropriate for a Catholic Mass to take place at the same location it used.

Note that this was a private hall simply rented for a meeting by Planned Parenthood. Locations like this abound, and are used by all sorts of groups. If Catholics have to avoid any location that once hosted a gathering by anyone who fails to live up to C atholic doctrine, they’re going to have to avoid an awful lot of places (including, possibly, some Catholic churches!).

Interestingly, Planned Parenthood has no proscription on gathering in locations where Catholics once met, so it’s obvious who’s got the greater mojo.
